Was watching one of my iTunes regulars Warehouse 13 (Season 2, Episode Vendetta) pre-dawn and spotted my Belkin Skype Phone in one of the scenes with an obvious fake screen.

For those of you who are fans of Entourage and XBOX, I am sure you saw Turtle using his Kinect in the latest episode of Entourage.  For those who missed it Engadget posted a snap of the video yesterday.  I still think the show should be an hour long!

Netflix (in Windows Media Center and XBOX 360) is a major core to our digital lifestyle, but Redbox has turned out to be a bit of a convenience point for impulse rentals.  Netflix doesn’t have an official iPhone app yet (coming to WP7 though) but Redbox does.  Here is a cool infographic comparing the two today.

In case you didn’t know, the latest version of Windows Live Messenger (beta) allows you to chat with your Facebook friends.  The  version is part of the total Windows Live Essentials BETA.  I rarely chat on Facebook, but now its become a lot easier to connect more regulalry.  Maybe that’s a MS swipe at FB just like they took a [...]

I have been using Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) since its first BETA.  Version 1.0 was just certified as seen on this article on Neowin.  One of the best things about MSE outside its performance and tight Windows integration is it is FREE!  We are testing MSE 2.0 BETA now and it has worked great thus far!

West Ham player Daniel Gabbidon was seen participating in a demo of Xbox Kinect.  I don’t think they briefed him too well as he kept referring to his computer and not XBOX (or console).

One of the classic games we cut our teeth on during the early .com days was Age of Empires.  We played LAN wars in the office all the time and each of us played our own campaings.  Well, in light of all the social games online (which I have not participated in) Age of Empires is making the jump with Ages [...]

I have felt over the last few years Microsoft has not leveraged its solutions to the best of its ability.  However today I saw something that about knocked me off the couch.  Not only is MS failing to leverage its solutions, but now its letting competitors into its ecosystem.  It’s one thing to create an Office version for Apple, it’s [...]

Traveling on long trips and working can be tedious.  I traded off a lighter pack for the HP dv7 with a larger screen, keyboard, fingerprint reader and beats audio system.  I must say the fingerprint reader is massively convenient.

This could possibly be my next Windows Phone.  It is taughted to be a ‘Day One’ Windows Phone 7 release called the HTC Schubert (probably a code name at least I hope).  It will be a tough change from the QWERTY keyboard of my Samsung Jack, but the iPhone I have been using as the private line is helping the [...]

As predicted in my April 15, 2010 post, the Microsoft KIN has died an epic failure!  There is speculation that only 400 units sold in the USA!  Engadget as confirmed the demise of KIN and its $400M budget (that’s $1M per KIN)!  I never found the value in the device as it was way too narrow of a space and [...]
