The future of cars....

Google wants Neveda to give the ok on cars that have no drivers but can drive automatically. This is a bit scary considering the fact that a robot is driving the car, what would the car do if someone was stealing the car of if it got a ticket, who would pay for it? the questions are limitless and still a cool idea of how the automotive industry is changing around us. Lets keep our fingers crossed that this gets oked and the future of cars can bee seen.

Sony Again with Safety?

Sony has just announced that they will give every single user of PSN or a Sony network account will get AllClear ID protection for one year. All I can say is good luck to that company with getting a large userbase in an instant, but the problems that they are going to face is bad with the fact that the information is already out in the blue for people who have the information and are supposedly selling it according to Toms Hardware. I think that it is good that Sony is providing users with identity theft protection but I think Sony needs hire more ASP coders ( I'm not saying that it is easy to code ASP but there are people who are actually coding.) for protecion becuase this event could have possibly been avoided.

Google ChromeBook?

Google has announced the specifications of the Google ChromeBook. The specs are great for the price that are selling for and can do almost all the tasks that a regular person would be doing with the computer. The question is... "Is it going to be good?" Now many Google users that has signed up for the Cr-48 Chromebook had gotten the ChromeBook for free, with the internet. Many users that already have the laptop say it is good but they can't elaborate more on it for many reasons. Now to matter of this topic is that should the laptop have some type of subscription fee to use the operating system because it can do mostly eveything? I have no problems with windows so far but that is because I had built my own computer. Most Windows problems are based off the hardware. If windows became selective of the parts they use and dont use they would never have problems.

Sony NGP

     With do much news about Google's software and hardware, many companies have been left out of the dark for this week. Companies like Facebook has  created and hired PR executives for the week to create a smear Google Campaign because why you might ask, because they have been left out in the dark for the last week or two. Sony has figured out their way of taking over the entire field for tech for this week. Sony announced the processor that is going to be used as the processor for the Sony NGP. Sony's Next Generation Platform, is going to use a small quad core that is made from VIA the guys that create very small processors that work for basic computers. The VIA processor is only going to use 27.5 watts with will leave a bit left for the graphics area if Sony is following their 50 - 60 watt setup to uphold their end of what was initially announced. This has caused dome small takeover for Sony to regain after what they had lost in the publics eye of losing credit card information supposedly. After this week in tech, it can almost be compared to what happened at CES 2009 the new change for ATI and NVIDIA.

Microsoft wants skype???

     Today, Microsoft announced that they would like to have a piece of Skype. This can go two ways, One they keep prices low and keep customers happy or they raise the price and make everyone mad. Skype is very cheap to make calls, with only $60 a year for unlimited minutes and a custom phone number and over 10 million subscribers, they want to see what a bit of funding can do. This will greatly affect the outcome of the company in a few months. I do not agree with the buy over unless they really need the money. If they need the money it will help them but for now they are just fine the way they are from the public standpoint. They have the user base and the money to basically become the next Google but of the talk industry. Many users already have switched over to Skype by only having the internet on their phone and getting the plan on the side. Microsoft already has their own cellphone system and the failed Zune attempt. Microsoft will never fall down and crumble because of the people who use a computer that runs on Microsoft. Microsoft can make Skype a failed plan if they need to crumble the company to gain domination in the voice industry to compete with Google Talk and Voice. Skype looks like they are interested but after what happened to Nokia they Wonder why Microsoft has a special interest in them.

Post-Mortem Pictures

 Many Americans are wanting to see the pictures of Osama Bin Laden but President Obama said that it was not going to happen. I can understand that many want to see the pictures as it would be reassuring to the person who would want to see them. On the other side it would make extremist more mad than they already are and bad things can happen if the picture was released. I think it is a good thing not to show the picture but on the other side, I would still like to see a picture. Now, the media is saying the the death was not a legal kill under the Geneva Convention. This is just plain idiotic, there are exceptions in the codes that were established.

Why Google’s Voice Service will takeover…

      Google has come out the the beta phase of testing the voice phone service on cellphone’s today will a standard Android phone and the Android Software but with a twist. The beta phase has been selected within a group of Google workers  and their family members. This is the best way to keep control to Google and not letting any information get out of the service that has caused so much hype in the past few months
