One of my friends sent me a text as a test to see if her phone worked. I asked her what it was that she bought, and she said it's a Dell Droid Phone. I was like, "what the heck is that?" Then she goes, "it's like having a mini Dell Computer in her hand." lol seriously?

also...I think I'm jumping in on Mass Effect 3...I just bought 1 and 2...to see how I like it and to wait for the price to go down for Mass Effect 3....I've decided the only games that I'm paying full price for are AC series and The Elder Scrolls series...

As much as I am starting to loathe RIM, I think I'm going to get the Playbook pretty soon here.

It looks like a regular smart phone, to me. She made it out to be like the monster of all smart phones.

Retinal Display and processor bump are nice upgrades but simply called 'the new iPad'. I think they are dropping the numbers and just settling on that sort of the same way they don't number Macbooks for each refresh. If I do get one, I may grab a wifi only 64GB as this 32GB one I have is killing me with storage or lack thereof.

ME 1 and 2 will keep you busy for a long while and you JUST started playing Skyrim? Oh noes. Let me add one more game you have to see to your list. The Witcher II. I played it on PC last year and it was nice! trust me on that one.

I got out of playing my games for a bit....I did get it on the opening day....here is something that will blow your mind...

I still need to finish Fallout 3, play New Vegas and I also have Red Dead Redemption waiting in the wings.....I'm on my reading jag right now....

DaemonSeid 03-08-2012 01:57 PM

I loved RDR so much I am playing thru it a second time...not many times games play well for me to do that

PrettyBoy 03-18-2012 04:26 AM

When it comes to my driving sims, I don't play (no pun intended). Gotta have full blown realism.

Wow...if you think you got it bad, then try Empire and Shogun II.

On other notes:

the new iPad's retinal display is teeeeeeh (<----yes) hotnesssss. It's like getting a better prescription for your glasses.

Mass Effect 3, is like Star Trek and Star Wars in a weekly series all rolled up into one.

MsGwyn, no new Xbox coming this year...maybe within the next 1 or 2 years.

Yup, I do take it very seriously, and I really, really enjoy it. I'm also a member of the SCCA, and the racing sims really help with my lap times when I'm in a real car on a real track.

I know, I was actually expecting it to come out in 2014...so 2013 is a good thing...but I do enjoy my xbox, so a new system will be an adjustment

Well I picked up an AT&T 32 gb iPad on Saturday and so far I am loving it. I only get wifi at home so i decided to go with the cell data option so i could bring my ipad to work/travel with me. Memory storage was a concern but I did set up an iCloud account for all of my iThings so we will see how it works out.

One thing that is kind of cool about icloud is if I download something on my iPad it automatically downloads to my iPhone and vice versa without syncing it to my computer.

Hey, I have a whole list of apps I can suggest you try out if you'd like. And please, if you haven't done so, get a COVER...hehehe one of my friends already dropped his because he thought he was 'too cool' for one.

I bought the smart cover at the same time I bought the iPad. Since I've been an iPhone user for a few years now I already have all of the typical apps (angry birds, shazam, pandora, words with friends, productivity and personal finance, banking etc). I did download Netflix and vdownload specifically for the iPad though. What else did you have in mind?

You know it occurred to me that you might actually do racing in real life...that is awesome

I hate iCloud with a passion...but I have no choice but to deal with it every day of my working life.....

PB...I have a PS2 and an Xbox 360...I will most likely get the new WII (I've forgotten the name...Revolution?) if and only if, I get a new full DK game...otherwise, I'm sticking with the Xbox....damn Microsoft pulling me in and I really don't want to get out (that's the problem)

Nope if I don't have a signal I still want access to my files. And what's cool is I used the dictation function to type this statement
Lol

Do you still play your PS2? I still have my original XBox, and I still play it. I have a PS3 and a 360, too. I enjoy all three.

DaemonSeid 04-06-2012 07:28 AM

Ya know, I think I would actually wear these...if they worked.

Sergey Brin was spotted this evening sporting a pair of Google Glasses, the augmented-reality specs the Web giant is working on.

Brin was photographed wearing a prototype pair of the eyeglasses while he posed with tech evangelist Robert Scoble this evening at a charity event in San Francisco.

"The Google Glasses are real! Here is a set on @sergeybrinn cofounder of Googl @ Palace Hotel, San Francisco," Scoble wrote, including the picture in a Twitter post. "They look very light weight. Not much different than a regular set of glasses," he wrote in another tweet.

But that is as close as Brin would let Scoble get to his specs, Scobble wrote in another tweet:

Robert Scoble

@Scobleizer

Sergey wouldn't let me wear the Google Glasses but I could see they were flashing info to him. I so want one of these!
5 Apr 12



Google finally acknowledged yesterday that it was working on eyeglasses that could stream data to the wearer's eyes in real time. Google posted a video on YouTube showing someone wearing the glasses as he made his way around variety of Manhattan venues, receiving up-to-the-minute updates as information streamed into his glasses.

The video showed an Oakley-like metallic glasses frame curves around a person's forehead and is held up with nose pads. On the right of the frame was a thin device, presumably a small computer, and translucent screen just above and to the right of the right eye.

Word of the special glasses -- being touted by the company as Project Glass -- has apparently been a bit of an open secret for months on the Web giant's Mountain View, Calif., campus. Rumors began to spread last December that Google was working on high-tech glasses with a wearable head-up display that could tap into cloud-based location services and detail users' surroundings.

AGDee 04-06-2012 08:23 AM

I saw part of the video demonstration of this and they looked pretty cool. I don't think I'd be able to see the display now though. Things up close are just too blurry. They need to figure that out if they want anybody over 45 to get them!


I'm a little anxious that I won't be able to use my phone while on this cruise. It is such a strange feeling!

DaemonSeid 04-12-2012 05:06 AM

Actually cutting the cords on cruises can be liverating sometimes...
