Get Smart with LG, Your Mission Impossible, Bond Wannabe Cellphone.

The Mobile World Congress, did showcase some different things this year and the tops for my agent wannabe list, is the "Get Smart" LG Watch Phone, yes Get Smart is my nickname for this thing, as if you add the blue tooth headset, you can act like you are talking to agent 99. It's every James Bond, Spy loving, FBI agent fanatics dream come true.

The LG GD910 Watch phone was first showcased at CES 2008, but it wasn't until this year that is wasn't behind glass. it's face is made of tempered glass, with a high-quality metal casing, and is around 13.9mm thick. The touch screen itself is 1.43 inches diagonally, and features LG's Flash interface. Features include voice recognition, Text to Speech so it can read out text messages, and stereo Bluetooth, sadly it won't be State side any time soon, it a UK release as it's not compatible with the North American cellular network just yet....Oh.. This message will self-destruct!

Techcrunch are full of sh##!". http://twitter.com/lastfm, the basic message is that the story the TechCrunch ran on friday about Last.fm handing over subscriber data to RIAA, in the search for the U2 album pirating issue was a made up rumor. Last.fm has blogged it! They have tweeted it! They have had press conferences about it!

So anyways.. Let's all just get back to listening to good music and supporting our favorite artists with the occasional album purchase and maybe we can all get on with our lives!

Social Media - MEETS - Social Medicine

How would you feel about your surgical procedure tweeting across the internet, for anyone with the tweets address to see!

I personaly don't care, and good for the doctors that are using current technologies to spread the information about medical procedures, that could hopefully better all our lives at one point or another! CNN's report, reported that for the second known time, Twitter was used during a surgery to keep medical students, other doctors and anyone else with interest, up-to-date, in real-time as they performed a potentially dangerous surgery to remove a tumor from a kidney. So what is next, live internet streaming video! eewww! Think I'll pass on that one.

                

Where is my NAS Wifi Media External HD?

Is it too much to ask for?

I'm so close to opening my wallet on the LaCie - LaCinema Classic, it's got everything I've been looking for, except for 2 things.. wifi - nas connectivity.

It's HDMI output to the tv.. It's support of almost every video file. But the one thing I truly want in a media box to sit in my entertainment center, would be the ability to transfer files to it with no cables, no usb, no connecting an RJ45 to put it on my network.

But this box is about as stylish as they come. it comes in a 500GB and 1T config. It has a USB2.0 up front( grrr..) but over all it's almost where I want it to be. Supports, MPEG-4 AVI, XviD, DivX (3.11, 4.x, 5.x). Has up-scaling to 1080p.

Only thing is, it's a back order at Tiger Direct.. So I'm on a holding pattern waiting, hoping that I'll hear the majic news of a new one, with wifi and nas.. LaCie can you hear me panting.

                

When do your Electronics become Art?

So out of boredom, comes art contemporary, or RadioArt. What possesses a NYC radiologist to start scanning in everything and anything in to his CT scanner is beyond me, but I'm sure hospital staffers are on alert looking for a knapsack, stuffed with odds and ends!

                

Zynga, Blankets all users - Bans all with items hacked and covers with TOS

Zynga, the makers of YoVille a social media virtual reality game, made some changes that created an exploit that allowed some users to take advantage of the exploit and buy YoVille virtual collectibles. The employees have covered the bans as TOS violations. The issue with this is that users that had no idea that the items were fake were handed bans as well.

People have been paying Zynga money to buy Yocash and Yoville coins, and have been handed down a blanketed ban that may cause a class action suite against the Zynga company. TOS breech was not caused by people buying these items, only by people using a program called WPE pro to pay for items no longer available in the Yo'Stores. But Zynga's capture all scripts covered everyone and anyone.

Emailing Zynga, gets a response that account by account will be looked at in 3 to 5 days. It's careless companies like Zynga that lose consumer trust. Or it's an over zealous Zynga employee and just a bad PR situation for the company.

Hey, you can always move over to IMVU or Small Worlds, for a less greedy and more interactive experiance. Bad Zynga, BAD! Poor form.
