Techerous

My name is Bill, I am a recent graduate in Information Sciences and Technology from Penn State University and this is a place for me to post or give my 2 cents on the fascinating world of technology. I am now working for a pretty big technology related company whose name I will leave out just to avoid any possible complications, however far-fetched them happening may be. Music gets included from time to time as well.

How Obama or Romney Should Have Answered the iPad Question

Exactly what I was thinking when this question was asked. Personally I thought Obama’s answer was a little more on track than this guy gives him credit for, but due to the nature of the election both sides weren’t willing to admit the hard truth.  Some in this country may think it’s nuts to not want every job available here, but some jobs are just not worth what an American wage would be. We should be focusing on training our workforce and creating a supply of skilled, qualified workers that are involved in the part of the process that can’t be duplicated anywhere else.

Your smartphone will (eventually) be hacked

Stay aware, especially as more financial processes are completed with smartphones.  Get software that will protect you and keep an eye out on what you download/click on just like you would a PC.

"Today’s verdict should not be viewed as a win for Apple, but as a loss for the American consumer. It will lead to fewer choices, less innovation, and potentially higher prices. It is unfortunate that patent law can be manipulated to give one company a monopoly over rectangles with rounded corners, or technology that is being improved every day by Samsung and other companies."

The judge presiding over the infringement case between Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. spotted two inconsistencies in the jury’s pro-Apple verdict and asked the nine-member jury to return to the deliberation room to reconsider the issues.

Apple triumphs over Samsung, awarded over $1 billion damages

If something doesn’t seriously change between now and whatever result we get after the endless repeals process, we could be looking at a huge blow for innovation tonight.  3 days to deliberate a case so dense it deserved at least a week, ridiculous.

Samsung Barred From U.S. Nexus Phone Sales in Apple Suit

I don’t understand how this is any more infringement than any other android device.  This better not result in the Galaxy S3 getting blocked or I’m going to be pissed.

LeVar Burton on Bringing Reading Rainbow to the Tech of Today

What was it like moving from public television straight into app development, a medium with an entirely different set of technical and design constraints?
BURTON: It’s very liberating, and incredibly frightening [chuckles]. Because we had to raise the money ourselves — and, obviously, working for myself is a real joy, having spent 30 years working for other people. Every ounce of what we have all put into this is going to benefit on some level us and our families. I really look at this project as what I’m gonna leave behind, and — and it’s good. It’s really, really good.

Awesome: Reading Rainbow now has an iPad app.
