Chances are you have a Facebook page, or if not you have probably thought about creating one. Privacy is a big concern now online, that’s why i’m sure you’ve seen those new public service commercials that show a young teenage girl either walking around telling a bunch of strangers random information about herself or having random people come up saying personal things about her to her. Privacy isn’t just a concern for teenage girls, it is one that should only be shared by everyone who does anything on the internet. I’m not saying don’t share any personal information on the internet because frankly that’s what these sites were designed for. I’m saying be selective with who you share your information with.

The iPad is all the rage lately and despite my feelings about being tired of hearing about the iPad, I found myself wanting one. So I started to take a real look at the iPad and the other touch screen tablet devices that are poised to hit the market this year. So I put together a table to do a side by side comparison of several devices that have caught my eye. It should be noted that official/final specs for the devices other than the iPad haven’t been released. Below are the specs that I’ve gathers for the devices so far: Apple iPad HP Slate Notion Ink – Adam Price $499 (16GB) $599 (32GB) $699 (64GB) $549 (32GB) $599 (64GB) $327 – $800 Storage 16GB/32GB/64GB 32GB/64GB [Read More...]
With the implementation of MVC there is a lot more room for unhanded global exceptions because in MVC you are encouraged to write more in line code to accompany the back end code. So what happens when an exception is thrown within the front end code?

This doesn’t do you much good, sure the user will know that there is an error, and you can squelch the amount of information that is displayed to your ordinary users, but if working through trouble shooting the issue this [Read More...]
Google Google Renames itself to Topeka For those of you unaware the Mayor of Topeka, Kansas renamed the city to Google, KS for the month of March. So Google returns the favor today on the first. YouTube TEXTp video format So for YouTube it’s simple, why stream video when you can stream Text instead? TEXTp turns the video you want to watch into an ASCII version. Google Wave Wave Notifications The blog post on this one leaves you to believe that it might be real, then you follow one of the links (they all go to the same website) and you see a little bit more of the funny and finally, links from here lead to a site saying it’s an April Fools joke.

There is so much hype out there about the iPad currently and everyday it seems there is a new crop of stories propping up. Stories about what people are going to use theirs for, what applications are being/have been developed for it, how many people have pre-ordered it, and a number of other things. Everyday my technology news gadget on my iGoogle home page has something new about the iPad, something new I don’t care about. The only times that I’ve see articles come up in this space talking about the iPad that I like are when they are talking about it’s limitations or the alternatives that are coming out or have already been out for awhile. There are many different alternatives out there, some [Read More...]
