SugarSync for Mobile Getting Desktop Management
I’m a big fan of file syncing service SugarSync. The 5 GB of free online storage had me happy from day one. Being able to easily send files of any size to others via email, even if they don’t use the service, has been invaluable. And the fact that, unlike competitor Dropbox, SugarSync allows me […]
HTC’s Magic Pen May Not Be Magic, But It Sure Is Fun
While few things about HTC EVO View 4G tablet seemed revolutionary during my first look at it, the View 4G (and it’s WiFi-only equivalent, the Flyer) did have one accessory that caught my interest, the HTC Magic Pen. Last night’s gdgt event here in New York gave me a chance to give this neat little […]
Best Buy Wants You To Get On Their Cloud
As the online/cloud music player market continues to emerge, retailer Best Buy has launched their own cloud music player, in lite and premium (read: $3.99 a month) flavors. No word yet on what the difference is, but we’ll keep you posted. The main kicker here is that unlike the competition, Best Buy doesn’t lock you […]
Tiered Pricing is Coming for Verizon Users, So Get That Upgrade in Before 7/7
The era of the unlimited data plan is coming. AT&T led the way, but Droid Life is reporting that on July 7th, Verizon will follow. Presumably, the standard line about how this will save money for most customers applies, but you have to wonder about that with the rates being reported. AT&T’s 2 GB plan […]
Voice of Subjectivity: If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix It
Voice of Subjectivity is an occasional companion column to Voice of Objectivity, for when I can’t quite agree with my calmer perspective. The opinions presented here do not necessarily represent the views of Techcitement, but they’re all mine. Let’s face it, I get as Techcited as anyone. I have a rooted Android phone. There, I […]
Voice of Objectivity: Root at Your Own Risk
Voice of Objectivity is an ongoing column meant to temper the tendency of the Techcited to run away with the most exciting or controversial ideas in technology’s near future. The opinions presented here do not necessarily represent the views of Techcitement or this writer. Someone’s got to keep a cool head around here. I guess […]
Sprint Strikes Deal to Deploy 4G LTE Network, with a Twist
Although Sprint brought us the first 4G network on a national carrier, AT&T and Verizon’s choice to go with LTE as their 4G technology has made critics skeptical of Sprint’s early investment in WiMax. In rather unexpected news, a wireless data provider known as LightSquared has just struck a reported $20 billion deal with Sprint […]
The Complaint Department: Duke Nukem Forever
Jeremy Goldstone, technology journalist and social media professional, explains in each iteration of The Complaint Department why technology isn’t conforming to his specific needs right now and why that sucks. What the hell? Seriously, what the hell? You took 12 years to make that? OK, I realize Gearbox, the final dev, didn’t work on it […]
Segues: Competition Means Becoming The Other Guy
Each Segues column starts with something tech-related before quickly branching out from there into a tangentially related thread. These articles are born from my thought and speech patterns that regularly contain quickfire transitions. For one of my birthdays, a friend made me a crown that said “King of the Segues.” Actually, it said “King of […]
Android App Lightning Bug May Cause Drowsiness
All my life, I’ve had trouble with tinnitus in both ears. It’s getting worse as I get older, so much so that I often have considerable trouble sleeping. When I got my fancy Android phone last year, I started looking for a noise generating solution in the Android Market. Enter Lightning Bug, an app from […]
