Smartphone Web Apps: No Network – No Productivity
Feb 21st
Even our gracefully fast cellular internet connections in Japan still present one significant roadblock to accessing data through web-based applications: No network – No productivity.
Can a web-app ever replace a native smartphone app? Not likely without significant enhancements in cellular and Wi-Fi infrastructure.
Take Google Apps for example. We all know that Google is a heavy pusher of their web-based applications. With tools like Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar and that OS-killing Chrome, Google in fact does a great job rolling out it’s web app offerings.
Unfortunately though, Google has a hard time pushing the majority of its web apps without a continuously live internet connection.
To iPhone and Blackberry Users
Dec 5th
Dear iPhone and Blackberry users,
I know your phones are awesome. I know that your phones have video editing capabilities and Blackberry Messenger respectively. I know that your phones can do a gajillion things all at once. I know that your phones have their own plans from your providers.
Even so, despite being the Mobile Brat that I am, I do not want to spend every moment with you watching you play with your phone. I do not want to discuss the latest thing that you’ve discovered that your phone can do.
Goodbye, Eardrums

Ever felt like getting your karaoke on but found yourself to be miles away from the nearest karaoke bar? Ever feel like singing off-key with your BFFs but found yourself to be in a totally different country? Ever go camping and suddenly feel the need to play Rock Band? Never fear, technology comes to your rescue! Mobile carriers in Thailand and USA have what they call a ‘mobile karaoke solution’, enabling users to karaoke over the phone. I kid you not. Just in case there weren’t enough people who think they’re awesome singers when they’re actually not.
Obama’s New Blackberry? Ugly Gets The Job Done!
Jan 15th
There’s a lot of talk lately about Obama’s Blackberry and what choices he will have once he enters his presidency. What initially shocked me was the lack of understanding by the general public when it comes to secure devices.
Engadget shed some light on the only two devices NSA has approved for use by government and DoD personnel.
Why Obama Losing His Blackberry Is Asinine
Jan 12th
Like most folks in the beltway, President-elect Barack Obama is a Blackberry addict. Obama lives on his handheld, using the device to stay in touch with the “outside” world. With all the idle time sitting in a vehicle, transiting in helicopters and airplanes, a Blackberry is an essential device for staying in touch with everything from information to important people. Unfortunately for the President-elect, government lawyers are poised to issue an opinion may ultimately force Obama to give up the one habit he should be allowed to keep, even if such a policy is completely asinine!
