The Future of Biking

http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - http://facebook.com/chrispirillo - http://chris.pirillo.com - During a recent Bluetooth SIG event in Seattle, I learned how easy it is to keep track of your biking habits using Bluetooth technology. The demo bicycle wheel was spinning at about five miles per hour, even though it wasn't really going anywhere. It was being measured by the little piece of plastic attached to the spokes, which is about the size of a thumb drive. The Velo Computer by Sound of Motion measures wheel rotation with a 1-degree precision. http://live.pirillo.com

The Future of Bluetooth

http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - http://facebook.com/chrispirillo - During a recent Bluetooth SIG event, I was able to witness a proof-of-concept technology which shows the power of bluetooth. As you can see, a photo was taken of Blair and then sent instantly to her phone via a bluetooth connection. A bluetooth peer-to-peer link can connect you with others in ways you have yet to even dream of. http://chris.pirillo.com

App Store vs Android Marketplace

http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - http://facebook.com/chrispirillo - http://chris.pirillo.com - I received an email the other day from a community member who has some questions about the differences between the Apple App Store and Google's Android Marketplace. He feels that the apps are one of the biggest reasons people choose one phone (or operating system) over another, and wants information to make an informed decision himself. http://live.pirillo.com

Are the iPhone 4 Bumpers Worth Buying?

http://go.tagjag.com/bumpers - http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - http://facebook.com/chrispirillo - Always wear protection! This is advice I've been giving people for years in conjunction with their communications devices. For instance, I have my new iPhone 4 here with me... along with the official Apple Bumper I purchased to help protect it. The Bumpers come in a variety of colors to help you personalize your phone to suit your lifestyle. My Bumper has a few scuff marks already after just a few days, but I feel that means it's doing its job. http://chris.pirillo.com

Eyefinity is Perfect for PC Gaming

http://go.tagjag.com/eyefinity - Yes, I like to drive a big truck with the pedal to the metal. Eighteen wheels will be rolling until the break of dawn. I decided to try my hands at playing the Rig'n'Roll game on my sweet ATI Eyefinity setup. I have to thank the team at AMD for hooking me up so that I can experience the beauty that is Eyefinity in my own home. Playing the game with perfect resolution across three screens this way is unlike anything I've ever done before. It's nearly impossible to translate to you via a video or text. You just have to try it for yourself. http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - http://chris.pirillo.com - http://facebook.com/chrispirillo

Are You Too Polite?

http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - http://facebook.com/chrispirillo - An article on The Consumerist discussed customer service reps that are infuriatingly polite that they make you scream! Would you rather have an overly polite rep or a person who can just get to the point? http://youtube.com/wilsontech1 - http://go.tagjag.com/politeness is where you can find the original Consumerist article.

3G vs 4G Speed Test

http://www.facebook.com/chrispirillo - Please post a video response demonstrating how your speeds measure up against mine. Your mileage may vary! From where I sit in this home office, however, I'm not so sure I see a clear difference between Sprint's 4G network and AT&T's 3G network - at least, from these two devices today. That may change with network upgrades, of course. http://twitter.com/ChrisPirillo If anything, I most of my off-camera tests showed Sprint's 4G network had better download speeds, worse upload speeds, and higher latency. Much like there's a megapixel myth with digital cameras, there may be a "G" myth soon enough... http://chris.pirillo.com/
