Blackberry with Porsche Design

Posted onAuthorTruXterLeave a comment

blackberry porscheWarning, not for the clueless Apple/Android hipsters.
This phone is made for adults. For the executive.
While it appears to do the same thing your apple and android does, the Blackberry Porsche designed phone does it in a more elegant smart phone manor.
Clean, sleek, and professional from the ones who created the entire smartphone market.

Has put out one fine product.

Blackberry has continued to produce executive phones for many years, and survived the big boom of the media player toy phones such as the Apple iphones and the android droid phones. Blackberry and rim are standing with the phone that keeps the adults looking like adults and not cartoons.
The BlackBerry P’9982 is one beautiful beast of a phone.
The BlackBerry P’9982 clearly is not your daughter’s phone.

Why Microsoft is Heading to windows 8 Direction

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Because they can sell Microsoft tablets and phones.
Microsoft was taken to court by Apple/Macintosh years ago for infringement. Microsoft’s saving grace was they said they are only selling software, Windows is an operating system not a computer. So, Microsoft is a software company not a computer company. Notice they didn’t say “Not a hardware company”. A tablet technically isn’t a computer.

So if Microsoft can get you to enjoy their operating system on your pc. Then they have a chance of creating their own “Computer Tablet” and calling it a windows computer.

Now if Microsoft can get rid of the typo issue of touch screen keyboards, and somehow reinventing the scroll wheel function of a mouse on a touch screen monitor, then they have a fighting chance. The main issue is the design software most power users use would be murder on a touch screen without a scroll wheel and a the third button function of a scroll wheel on a mouse.

So if it comes down to the only way to Microsoft is through a tablet, some of us would have to step down and install linux with WINE so we can still use my programs that currently only work with Windows. Autocad, Magix Music, Etc.

What Gaming Platforms Will See GTA V

Posted onAuthorTruXter4 Comments

We have all seen that gaming consoles have gotten pretty powerful, and we all know that Rockstar games can take an old engine and make it better, run faster, smoother and have less glitches . We saw this with GTAIII and Grand Theft Auto Vice City, and then again with San Andreas when Rockstar started putting the wanted items into the game. Like swimming, ability to climb walls and ride a bicycle. So do the guys at Rockstar games have a big one up their sleeve? are they about to give the largest multiplatform launch simultaneously? What gaming Platform do you think they will launch on?
[poll id=”13″]
What Gaming platform do you think will see Grand Theft Auto Five
Xbox 360
PlayStation3
Nintendo Wii (wii U)
Windows Computer (PC)
Apple/Mac
hand held only
Are the options. For clear obvious reasons.
Here is a link from Walmart showing that currently there is only Xbox360 and Playstation 3 versions of GTA V ready to sell for June on release.
There are rumors that GTAV is coming out for Mac computers and some people are actually hoping that the release date will be near the release of the Nintendo Wii u. Some say that the regular Wii might be able to handle grand theft auto 5 if the game is optimized properly. There are a few people saying that GTA v stands a chance of being made just for hand held gaming systems. To me that is just nuts but i may as well leave it as an option. Others say it will be across all platforms and some some say just for the high end gaming consoles like the ps3 and the 360.
I am glad that none of this is confirmed right now because last Grand Theft Auto (that would be gtaiv)release nearly stressed me out. I am a pc gamer, so not seeing the game until about a year after initial release, was not cool at all. That’s even after the initial release was held back for almost a year already.
So please do not freak out and post hatred because I listed some strange ones. It’s just stuff I have been seeing on the internet. and they have a small chance of being correct. Nothing is confirmed yet so let’s speculate :-)

But feel free to explain your answer, and reason and logic behind your answer.

What becomes of Apple now

Posted onAuthorTruXter

Now that we have lost Steve Jobs, we have to question what will come of Apple. What will come of computers and cell phones from here?

My worry is that no one will fill Steve job’s spot and be creative and wise as he was all in one, and still run a company as he did.

If that will be the case, then we stand a chance of very little competition. with little competition, comes little growth through competitive progress processes. The desire to make your product better than the competition is what makes innovation. With less innovation by competitive motivation, we will become stale like a gaming console that floats 5-10 years without expansion or growth. We settle into acceptance and learn to just “deal with it “. Sometimes change is good for us. Options are even better for us.
So what becomes of Apple? what ever happens to apple, will reflect on what happens to Microsoft and what happens to Linux and what happens to Android, and to RIM and Symbian.

Will Apple consider this, Will it be easier and cheaper on Apple to just go for the lazy guy who doesn’t care? if so. It will be a fast sweep by Microsoft to take in Apple, and well… Linux would be a flash and soon forgotten.

Not to be a fear monger just trying to think ahead. Hopefully Apple is thinking ahead.

 

What comes of Apple and do they have an announcement coming soon? They very well should, if they want to keep their stock steady.

A message to Steve,

You sir are the reason for competition, the motivation that kept everyone evolving and growing. You Steve jobs were the one that everyone had to beat. A legend, a leader and a motivator. Steve Jobs, this is a better world because of you. We as humans found room to grow our minds because of your ideas and your inspiration.
We thank you Steve jobs, you will be missed.

We hope that everyone that follows, tries to be an inspiration in the technology world, and we hope they will all follow in your footsteps to continue to grow our minds. Thank you Steve Jobs, it was the greatest of pleasure living within your time.

Feel free to ad your farewell below. We all know Steve will never see it, but what matters now is the feelings of the people left behind.

The New Kindle Gets Praise

Posted onAuthorTruXter

The E-Reader from Amazon The New Kindle Was launched. Today.
I am seeing posts from Kevin Rose, Mashable, Techcrunch,cnet, ZDNet all talking about the Kindle and how it is killing or taking the market.
If the new kindle isn’t evolved more than a plastic case, then … well it would look like somebody’s got money to throw in the air.
I hope the new Kindle does rock the scene, someone has to put Apple in it’s place.
Will Amazon make much profit from a world that have a lot of people who already have a device to download books to?
It seems the e-reader business would pretty much be getting limited by now. Considering the cost of this device that lets you read a book as long as your battery will last, and then the cost per book, no place to really put the thing when you are not in your car. the Kindle will not fit in your pocket. Most e-readers if left in your car stand reason for someone to break into your car. If you carry the kindle around with you, you stand a chance of crushing it. So I don’t see much reason that people would want a second e-reader. Sure it helps the environment and keeps us from using the scraps at the lumber mill to make paper from. but most people will first think of what effects them. Then again, many wont.
We shall see what happens in the latest e-reader race,

iPhone 5 release date: Big FAKE

Posted onAuthorTruXter

iPhone 5 release date: Big buzz, few facts – CNN.com.

 

Apple executives have already confirmed that the iphone5 rumors are fake. There is no current release of the iphone 5 going to happen.

Be real everyone. The Iphone 4 was released less than a year ago. Apple will continue to sell those for as long as people are stilll buying them. Heck the Iphone 3 is still selling like crazy.

So do not expect to see an iphone5 for anywhere less than two years from the original release date of iphone 4
