After a week of you adjusting the temperatures at different times during the day, the thermostat will learn your habits and adjust the temperatures automatically based on your previous preferences.

An US air force recruitment commercial that promises that everything you see is real; but right away you notice that the first 30 seconds of the commercial is from a Micheal bay movie. The part that amazed me the most was that the c-17s fly's to a collapsing bridge to safe some stranded people on it, when it gets to the bridge the engines (which are 500,000 pounds each) turn vertical and make the plane stationary for enough time to rescue the stranded; then the plane transforms into another aircraft and fly's away. How can you call something like this real, unless the U.S. army is flying an auto-bot c-17s.

Lytro came out with a new camera which is 4.4 inches long and 8 oz in length, it has a touch screen, and 8x zoom. there is only 2 buttons on it, shutter and power. it also comes with 8 and 16GB, so it can hold a LOT of pictures. To me, I really don't care for this camera, yea its convenient,, but I don't like to take pictures of everything i see, plus, it's also $400, which is unbelievable. This may appear to be an awesome gadget to some, but to me , it's just not worth it, it's also a cube like kaleidoscope type thing, it's just plain strange.

CSS is going to add a new style of viewing the site; pages. The user would have to flip each page to get to the next part of the site. Although this is mainly directed for tablets, it will still be able to work on laptops and desktops. This is ideal for not spoiling the article by only giving a piece at a time and it also gives the traditional feel of reading a book.

Ok for some reason the comment isn't pooping up... i'll write it again... Now Apple had recently been put in a chokehold by a couple of reasons, so Google has a chance to saddle up and steal the show, but time will tell if they can pull it off or screw up, FOCUS GOOGLE!

New to the world of phones and transactions alike: the Blackberry Bold 9900 and Curve 9360 are the first SIM-based smartphones to earn the "MasterCard PayPass Certification." This means that MasterCard thinks the phones are advanced and secure enough to handle MasterCard's NFC-based Paypass system. Now that this has been decided, any MasterCard Paypass-issuing bank can give a PayPass account to the SIM card in these phones. As a Vice President of RIM puts it, this is a "significant step forward in the way we use mobile devices for payments." Indeed, VP, indeed. This quite the large leap for Blackberry, and Blackberry users alike, as it will affect the way we do our business and transactions, and therefore out everyday lives. Jealous, Apple & Co.? 

The latest in RIM's collection of Blackberry's have now been deemed secure enough to handle Mastercard's pay pass system which means that when one of these phones SIM cards is encrypted with a pay pass account it will allow the user to make payments from their Mastercard account through their smartphone

Apple tries to make many of their products very easy to use but now Apple has made something very complicated. The new iCloud is actually very difficult to work with.

So is iCloud really that easy?
