1ms Lag with new technology from Microsoft

Tech:

Well Microsoft is still in the game. Just when you think that they are on their way out of the market, they comeback with technology that is far beyond what we are currently seeing on the market. What we have here is Microsoft bringing touchscreen lag down to 1ms (millisecond). For those of you out there not impressed or have no idea what I am talking about...well you need to watch the video below to see what I mean. Every smartphone and tablet on the current market cannot even compare to this speed. Every piece of technology that I have gotten my hands on has had such serious lag with the display and my fingertip that I do not see how consumers can keep calm when using these capabilities.....OK I clearly have done enough talking, so check out the video and pray that Microsoft will implement this technology in the near future.



New HTC Phones!



So for those of you who do not know me personally, I am a huge cell phone tech junkie. And I am in love with my HTC Droid Incredible. After using my Incredible for almost 2 years I am now finding that it is time to upgrade and get a new exciting phone. Before getting into the nitty gritty I must say that HTC is by far the best phone manufacture on the market right now (that is just my opinion though) But I love how smartphones today are more adaptive than they once were. You definitely do not get bored with these handheld computers.

Now to the News!

HTC just announced that they will be releasing 3 brand new phones by April, which will all run on Android's new OS Ice Cream Sandwich, and will have Beats Audio standard. Watch below to view each phone.

The phones:
  • One X featuring a 4.7-inch display, Exclusively for AT&T
  •  
     
  • One S with a 4.3-inch display, Exclusively for T-Mobile

  • One V with a 3.7-inch display.





I Hope I Am Still Alive For This Underwater Train

Tech:


This looks like something straight out of a Scify movie or something. But what you are looking at is a plan for a 4,000 mph underwater train that will travel from New York to London. Doing the calculations out the total time the trip will take is just under an hour, compared to a flight that takes 5 hours. This is possible however there is some serious ladders to climb first. This tube will be essentially a vacuum and for it to reach the top speed of 4,000 mph there must be no air what-so-ever. If there was to be air in this tube the train could cause a seismic boom and sink the train and tube. So lets hope that we can get some engineers working to find a sufficient alternative or something because I really want to ride this. 




Have Your House Attacked By Some Alien Robot

 Tech: Humor: Fun

So I just came across this really cool and fun website that allows you to enter in you street address and you watch this video of an Alien robot attack your neighboring streets and house. This is all done through Google Maps Street Viewer. Typically I am not really into the whole Scify scene but I find this to be enjoyable because everything on the screen is in your neighbor hood with this animated Robot trotting through destroying everything. Check it out HERE and watch your neighborhood and your house get demolished.


Drinkify Tells You What to Drink While Listening To An Artist/Song


Music: Tech: Humor: Life:

I really believe this post can be put under all 4 categories of this site, so read on.

So I just came across this cool site called Drinkify, and I must say that I will definitely try this site out the next time I have a drink. You simply just type in an artist or song and it will spit you back a drink recipe. Its so simple and seems pretty fun.

The one problem I can see however is that if you really drink the concoctions that Drinkify gives you, you better have a small version of  a bar of some sorts. So if you have $100 laying around you can easily stock a full bar using these tips from Lifehacker. Sure the nice furniture in the picture below will not be included but better believe that all the alcohol and mixers can be bought on this list.











Just give it a try now here at Drinkify.org.

Introducing Wunderkit

Tech/Life:


So I have been using this web based organizing task site for some time now, it was called Wunderlist. And they just administered a complete overhaul which now goes by the name Wunderkit. I must say if you are the type of person that needs to see everything you need to get done and check it off as it is complete than I suggest you take a look at this site.

This "kit" allows you to post all your life projects and organize them by projects. You you can have a personal list of tasks to do. All the while you can have another list or what they call "Activity" which can be "School Work" or whatever you want it to be called. With each activity you can open it up and make it social with your friends and family. That way if you were planning a trip with a group of friends you can create a "Trip" activity and have all your friends add tasks and what not to the activity. Pretty cool.

Now I realized I butchered this explanation so just watch the video and it will do all the explaining for you. Check Wunderkit out by clicking here. Now get started and get your friends involved with it.
