Apple iTunes Simply Needs a “MA” Rated App Section

Posted by metroxing in Monday, February 22nd 2010   
Topics: Apple, iPhone    
No Comment

The recent iTunes App “banning” of salacious-sexual content apps makes sense on one level. It is understandable as these titles would randomly appear throughout the store in games & entertainment and it’s understandable you don’t want clients, or your kids stumbling across it …  or even if you’re showing off the iTunes store, it might [...]

The Apple iPad Won’t Affect NetBook Sales – That’s a Good Thing

Posted by metroxing in Saturday, January 30th 2010   
Topics: Apple, Mobile    
2 Comments

Many people seem to be confused about why netbooks exist and because they are selling well, they think it’s because of just random pent up consumer demand for “fully-featured” functionality at an “extreme” portability form factor.
This is not true because there is ONLY ONE factor that sells netbooks.
PRICE.
Of the dozens-hundreds of PC Windows manufacturers selling [...]

The Apple Tablet-Giant iPhone Needs, Wants & Do-Not-Want

No Comment

Yes, we do not need a tablet.
Yes, some people need a tablet and their needs are mostly being served – whether it’s a niche market or for artists who want to draw with a stylus – they need a tablet but NOT the one Apple is presumably delivering in 2010.
Yes, a flat personal computer with [...]

Why the Droid is No iPhone Killer & Really Just a Hobby

The problem with most newspaper technology writers and even many technology “analysts” is they briefly read the AP Headlines before scribbling out some output to earn a paycheck … the reality is why many newspapers are failing both financially and their readers – they don’t bother doing any investigative work or any kind – they’ll [...]

How Microsoft Decided to Name Their New Search Engine – 2006 Style!

As Microsoft is anywhere from 2-5 years behind everyone else (Our next Zune will have a TOUCHSCREEN – this September!) …
They just discovered this site on the internet (maybe they really have to upgrade their search) where you can watch videos:

Bing!
Marketing: Kids on the internet like the sound of BING!
Coming in 2012 – an exercise [...]

Microsoft Advertising: It’s Just For Ourselves So We Feel Better …

Posted by metroxing in Saturday, May 16th 2009

No Comment

The latest Microsoft ad that tells everyone an iPod will really cost you $30,000 while a Zune will only cost you $15 a month is really aimed at NO ONE other than Microsoft employees.
Apparently morale is so bad at MS they need a national campaign of $300 million to feel better about themselves.
I’m okay with [...]

The Two-Seconds Google “Monopoly”

While Google is thought of as this omnipotent being …
The current status of Google is really the purest form of supply & demand that may EVER exist.
You, as a consumer – can change from Google to ANY other search engine LITERALLY in 2-seconds or however long it takes you to type a new search engine [...]

What Nintendo & Sony Has to Fear From the iPhone (& iTouch)

First, the iPhone is not a Nintendo DSi or Sony PSP “killer.”
That word is misused like ‘awesome.’
But the iPhone does put a big crimp into the maximum market of the Nintendo DSi and the Sony PSP.
As with any electronic device, the race is to the ‘mass market’ or around 100-million units sold. What this means [...]

If You Want Your Kids to Hate You … Get them the Mapple V-Touch!

No Comment

Well, it looks like it and it’s CHEAP (er) than an iTouch.

I’m sure the kids will understand in these tough economic times, you need to cut back – it’s 82% OFF! Such a deal!
And people wonder why eBay’s Store is failing against Amazon – can’t imagine why with savings like this!
Teach your kids that it’s [...]

Controversial & Presidential

I guess art is supposed to be polarizing …

Of course, you have to have this one also …

But much more fun just to hang one up.
Perfect for all occasions where you want a conversation starter or a fistfight.
At Costco.
Better hurry, next week, it might be jet skis.
