Flickr Video – Why All the Hate?
What is wrong with Flickr users? I am astounded at the incredible backlash of hatred towards the new Flickr Video feature. I was surfing groups this evening and came across a group called We Say No to Videos on Flickr that has managed to gain over 20,000 members since Flickr Video was released to the public on Tuesday. More than 20,000 people are pissed off enough to join a group, have passive-aggressive discussions, and make lolcat-style protest pictures tagged NoVideo. …

We moved our old DVR into the office and now have a nice, shiny HD DVR in our living room. One of the things I’ve been waiting for was the DIRECTV On Demand Beta on our receiver, which finally happened after a recent service call. But even better than that, the DIRECTV DVR Scheduler was …

Amazon TextBuyIt – Shopping for the Truly Lazy
Amazon has debuted its new SMS purchasing service, TextBuyIt, allowing users to find and buy items from Amazon.com using their mobile phones.

But, it’s fifty bucks, and you really don’t want to pay that much just to impress your mom, your hipster friends, and prospective girlfriends. Just whip out your trusty cell …

T-Mobile announces new Blackberry Pearl 8120, I yawn.
T-Mobile and RIM announced today that starting April 14, T-Mobile will carry the Wi-Fi enabled Blackberry Pearl 8120. The new Blackberry offering in the T-Mobile lineup will work with the T-Mobile HotSpot @Home service. T-Mobile is seriously missing the boat. I am a T-Mobile customer, and actually a very happy one. I get excellent customer service, which is something I never received from my former carrier, Sprint. The customer service line has helped me through a few small problems I’ve …
