iPad: They did it again…

Posted on 27 March 2010 by Dopman


Hell yea, Steve Jobs and Apple did it again with the iPad. With this whole wave of netbooks surging at the end of 2009, Apple went ahead and did what they do when it comes to making new shit better. On April 3, Apple will unleash it’s 7.47″ x 9.56″ fully touchscreen iPad onto the world. Weighing in at only 1.5 lbs and being only .5″ thick, the iPad looks and acts like a super sized iTouch, which there’s nothing bad about any of that. The iPad allows for a larger viewing surface when it comes to the 100,000s of apps developed for the iPhone. There’s no more squinting to see movies on your iPhone. There’s no more misspelling words when typing emails or surfing the web, simply because everything is bigger, baby! The first model to be launched will be the Wifi in 16, 32, and 64 gigabyte capacities. This Wifi only model has a 1024 x 768 resolution display, with a 1Ghz A4 processor. Later in April, Apple will release the WIFI + 3G model, which with a $30 data plan from AT&T, will be just as blazing on the net as the iPhone. Only a few questions remain on the release though, ie, will there be a camera on the iPad? Many of us are hoping that we won’t have to wait until the 2nd generation to find out. With a week to go until the official launch date, the best to bet to insure that you have one in hand is by pre-ordering an iPad at www.apple.com. The cheapest iPad is the Wifi 16GB for $499. When the 3G models hit, they will start at $629. Don’t expect and iPhone line, but do expect a bit of a rush. Now, get your Apple on kids!

Ease of the Internet

Posted on 12 January 2010 by Dopman


It’s 2010, and the best way to get it started is going to integrate your tv and the entire web. Boxee is a device that enables you to watch anything thats online on your big screen 47″ flat panel tv. There’s no more having to sit in your tired old wood office chair or beat up box crate in order to enjoy Netflix, Hulu, Fancaste and Youtube.
Pretty much, Boxee is an XBox without the ability to play games. Supposedly ready to be jumped off in the 1st quarter of 2010, Boxee will be right around $200, which is really almost half way to an XBox anyways, but who’s penchin’ pennies these days, huh? You’ll be able to get Boxee right off http://www.boxee.tv !!!

Adobe Flash for your Phone?

Posted on 05 October 2009 by Dopman

With all the revolutionary visuals and sound options you have while browsing the web, most of these things are based off of Adobe Flash.  At the Adobe Max Convention, they recently announced that they will have Flash running on 19 of the top 20 Smart Phones.  Unfortunately, the Iphone OS has limitations that currently doesn’t allow the Flash application to run.

Check out this video to see what the Future of Mobile Internet Browsing will be…

BMW X6 xDrive 50i

Posted on 14 September 2009 by James Tucker

BMW1

Clubber Lane was the meanest mofo to hit the ring when he appeared opposite of Rocky Balboa in “Rocky  III.”  Recently we’ve seen some resurgence of mean looking American made muscle cars such as the Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, and Ford Mustang put into production. Seriously nothing on the streets right now is meaner, beastier and sexier than the BMW X6 small SUV truck.  First seen in Milwaukee at the Greater Milwaukee Auto Show Gala in February, the X6 stole the show on the 1st level with the intense lines and dramatic i-Robot shape.  It wasn’t but a matter of time before the sexiest machine next to Koenigsegg CCX was pumped out by the best luxury driving machine company – BMW.
BMW5BMW2
The BMW x6  boasts a 4.4-liter, 32-valve turbocharged 400-hp V-8 engine with twin-turbo technology.  The x6 comes in two different types, the 30i and 50i.  The smaller 35i gets an estimated 20 mpg with a 300 horsepower engine with a base MSRP of $55,900.  The 50i produces more horsepower (400hp), but gets an estimated 18 miles per gallon boooo.  The price for 50i plus a hefty $66,650, but some damn good luxury and style comes with all of the costs.
BMW3
The official MKE Wired priced out BMW x6 50i comes out to be $89,740 not including taxes and shipping.  With that we’d be catching Black Sapphire Metallic, Black Nevada Leather and Ash grain wood trim all for $0.  BMW starts to tax with the cold weather package ($1,250) and the comfort access keyless entry($1,000). Of course we like to get our swag on to the max so we added the Premium Package for $2,200 including Digital compass mirror, Storage package, Universal Garage Door Opener, Ambient light package, BMW Assist, Automatic tailgate opening and closing.

All of that is well in good, except for the fact we would have to have the ipod configuration, with hi-fi system and 6 disc changer for another $2,000. Add in the Sport Package ($3,200), Head Up Display($1,200), Soft Close Automatic Doors($600), HD Radio($350), and 21″ Double Spoke 215 Black Wheel Set ($6,495) then yes we would have the meanest car on the block.

Right, now the Porsche Cayenne S is the closest luxury small suv in the class that could match up to the x6 xDrive 50i. However the Cayenne S is old, doned and out of swag points. The 2010 Cadillac SRX is the newest American beast ready to match the X6, but without the hearty German guts to propel it fast enough down Milwaukee St. The BMW x6 xDrive 50i is the one and only champ of small suvs on Milwaukee streets right now. Do what you have to do to get one of these and your status will be none other than Baller.

Project Natal getting hype from the E3 Monday

Posted on 02 June 2009 by Dopman

Xbox 360 – Project Natal

Xbox 360 ready to jump in the spotlight again with their new “Project Natal” a new wave of controller-less gaming. Now kids can play video games all day and not be a chunky butt! The Name Natal (“to be born” in Latin) is a city on the northeast side of Brazil, which was dubbed from the project’s creator Alex Kipman, born in Brazil. The system brings projectnatalall the liveliness to your living room by integrating a RBG camera, depth sensor and multiarray microphone. The Camera picks up facial recognition, so it can be setup for each person in your home plus more! The Depth sensor uses infrared to pickup your room in a 3d state. Since the camera is infrared it works in almost any lighting condition. The Multiarray microphone picks up voices and weeds out the extra noise around you. To bring all of these items together the exclusive software Microsoft developed recognizes voices to faces and can even log you in to your Xbox Live Account.

Enough about the super tech’y stuff lets talk about the fun stuff. With the Natal sensor, the interaction in games are endless. You can basically shadowbox in your living room and fight in the game, you can kick soccer balls, go bowling, race cars and even change your tires yourself.

Remember Minority Report, yeah you don’t have to wear some stupid glove to get this kind of action in your living room!
minority-report-computer-screenWithout knowing the price for the “Project Natal” I would consider this to be far superior to Nintendo’s Wii because you don’t have to buy new accessories once you purchase the “Natal” unit. Microsoft needs to make the cost relatively inexpensive, although the “Project Natal” basically turns your Xbox360 into a brand new machine. As far as pricing and what games will be available, we will keep you updated as soon as we find out.  The unit’s SDK (software development kit) was just released so we will give the developers some time to integrate in their own games. The launch date is not known as of yet, but I would think they would try to push this for the Christmas rush, to get that Tickle Me Elmo demand.
