Ostendo 43-inch Curved Display

The first thing I am going to do after I win the Lottery, is buy one of these babies. Okay, maybe not the first thing, but definitely on my top ten list.

Ostendo has come up with a 43-inch curved display that creates a true immersive viewing angle. Featuring a ridiculous 32:10 aspect ratio, which is 180% wider that a traditional 16:9 display.

How about using three of these for cockpit like experience? Mind bottling, isn't it?

Pros: 32:10 Baby!

Cons: Frakkin Expensive.

List Price: $6499.00

iPad or iFad?

To quote Michael Keaton from the 1986 motion picture Gung Ho, "Frankly...I'm sorry, I don't get it. I don't see it, I'm not impressed. Not one iota."

Sprint Stops Free Tethering

One of the great things about having a Blackberry and Sprint was the ability to tether my laptop for free wifi surfing anywhere that my Sprint phone had coverage. It was a simple trick, just use #777 as the phone number and viola, my Blackberry was acting as a high speed modem.

Well, those days are gone. The boneheads at Sprint have decided to disable this functionality without informing its customers. Nice one Sprint. When my contract is up, I might be jumping ship to another carrier.

In the meantime, I will use TetherBerry, a $49.95 app that lets you tether your Blackberry no matter who your carrier is.

Screw you Sprint.

Pros: Tethering on all Carriers.

Cons: Uses USB cable, not Bluetooth.

List Price: $49.95

Don't Copy That Floppy Sequel

But they are right about one thing. Don't copy software, music, and movies. Instead download it via your favorite bit torrent site such as, The Pirate Bay, Mininova, and Demonoid.
