Its been a long few weeks for Facebook.  It doesn’t bode well when even people who are absolutely not tech savvy, web savvy or any other savvy (except maybe Jersey Girls Savvy) are talking about Facebook and privacy.  The only problem is, that though they seem to talk big for a moment or two, they [...]

Its no secret that time marches on, every day we are reminded about how things change.  Some days these changes are small, while others have magnitude that may cause you to question the very foundation of your day to day beliefs.  Sue time works out well for most of our everyday common place experiences, but [...]

This week broke a few very interesting stories.  First we have Apple taking the fight against all things titillating and taking the now familiar step of banishing apps from the iTunes store aka super Jobs nirvana land.  Seems that someone had the nerve to make apps that had cleavage and bare chested men and such…who [...]

News on your Amazon Kindle being sucky, and your story telling narcissism

News on your Amazon Kindle being sucky, and your story telling narcissism

Friday, November 13, 2009 No Comments

The news this week is about how some schools seem to think that the Amazon Kindle is a bad tech device because its not able to be setup to read aloud to you if you are blind because that initial setup requires navigating through onscreen menues that do not initially read themselved to you.

I also cover a science story on why you can remember great jokes and stories…but not who you told them to. Could it be that your too concerned about how your coming off to others to be bothered remembering who they are?
