Skatterbrainz World » cell phones http://skatterbrainz.com God almighty. If you’re reading this, you might as well jump off a bridge. I typically discuss software technology and business and legal implications of technology and marketing (or the failures thereof). Sound interesting? You need help. Seriously.

I guess its stupid of me to ask the, because those morons don’t realize they have a freaking rear view mirror, and they lack the ability to use it while their jaw is in motion.

The directTV remote control.

They release the iPhone app, only to not add the content that would actually sell more subscriptions…

There is no Howard 100 or Howard 101 available.

Sirius FAILS again…

The first night it was only the iPhone for data on the launch, I usually have pretty good coverage passing through on the road about 5 miles West of the town, what a difference 5 miles can make.The second night I also brought my Mac with a Verizon broadband card, not a whole lot of signal there either, there was just enough that we could sort of pull down updates from NASA, my plan was to share the connection, but the bandwidth was so slow, it would just die when trying multiple connections….
I guess it is ironic that you van be standing less then 20 miles from some amazing technology, and attempt to watch stuff be put into orbit, but you can’t use a cell phone without crossing the street, standing in the field facing South….

Kind of seems real stoopid to make the device use more power, by lighting up the screen, to tell the user to save power…
I guess it’s one of those do as I say, not as I do things, you’d better be “green” or we’ll make your electric bill go up….
