very detailed ass show. cough. dadios. cough.
haha, Da_Dios wasn’t even on this episode… lol
ROFL!!!! Someone has to add the fluff…
hopefully we arnt confused again…dammit! lol
Im from the UK so I can’t even try the Nook….which automatically is a win for Amazon. Besides I just prefer the simpleness of the Kindle, it’s not distracting like an iPad or a Nook (based on what I’ve read). I don’t need to browse the internet on my eReader, I have an iPhone for that. What unique features does Tweetdeck have? Another cool show.
TweetDeck makes things easier on twitter for me like uploading images, making longer tweets and shortening url’s but it also has some unique features like shortening words to make tweets fit. its definitely worth the look, twitter isn’t the same with out it on my desktop.
It’s funny that Nvidia calls their new product Kal-El. That is the real Krypton name of Superman. Perhaps this tablet will be the superman of tablets. I’ve been looking for the Asus transformer tablet for the past month and every site and store is sold out. I talked to a mom & pop computer store owner and he stated that he directly spoke with Asus and they won’t have any until July. As I was reading the reviews on amazon for this product, the biggest complaint was that Asus had horrible Customer service. People had to pay for shipping to have their broken hardware warrantied.
yes shaz, Kal-El is superman and the NVIDIA Tegra processors to follow it are Wayne, Logan and Stark, also taken from comic book character names.
WTF is artoo-deetoo? or whatever the flock acronym you are using for the Playstation wireless headphones?
A2DP is Advanced Audio Distribution Profile, its an instruction for how to stream high quality audio over bluetooth.
A2DP….. Advanced Audio Distribution Profile. Google will explain the rest.
You could have made an entire post around that glowball video. SMFH!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol Tor you funny,
Be easy tor, i still can make an entire post around this video and the tech around it
Im still laughing at Monty saying he wouldn’t go on a trip with Dirty because he’d be the dude putting change in the toll booths!!!!! Hope that was in the gag reel.
werd its 2011, we dont stop for tolls my dude lol …..Dirty is the type to pay cash in a credit only line…30 items in a express lane at keyfood …like wtf….lol…pay and go man the money is coming from the same source …get it there faster and move on with life lol.
Monty likes to exaggerate and I think maybe my point didn’t get across correctly. The reason I don’t trust NFC is because the security hasn’t been explained very well. Yes I used Bluetooth and it could be cracked but hacking a phone back in the day didn’t give you access to my banking account. The reason RFID didn’t take off is for this very reason, security wasn’t the priority and thus people’s identity were being stolen from their passports. Until I am shown how the security works and I am happy with it (as well as security experts much like Steve Gibson) I am happy to swipe a debit card. At least then I know it is safe as long as it is in my possession, I can’t say the same for NFC for the time being. As a concept I agree it is very cool and will speed things up but I am going to take the Da_Dios approach and trumpet security first. =]
