I was recently looking on Google News just to see what some of the latest topics were. I came across this really cool feature called Realtime, which is in beta. This seems like its Google’s version of an agregation tool. You simply search for a topic and anything that comes on the Web, including Tweets, Facebook updates, and articles, a scrolling list will automatically update and scroll with those new updates. I found is very cool to be able to see that latest information that rapidly. If you find that it is going too fast for you, there is a pause button built in.

Of course some people will argue with me about Twitter doing the same thing. However, does Twitter pull in all of those things at once and display it on one clean page?

The next time one of my favorite companies is having an annoucement, like Apple, I will simply open up a Google Reatime page and search for Apple.

Try it out… and let me know what you think.

I had a blog that would have something posted daily and the posts were scheduled so I wouldn’t have to remember to write each day. The blog was very successful and had a lot of comments from people each day. However, at the start of the new school year I just could find the time to continue to write more posts. Once the schedule ran out, fresh content ran out as well and it seemed to just end without no explanation.

Now that it is about 6 months ago the schedule ran out, I now have time and want to start up the  blog in full swing. However, my question is whether I should go back and write posts for each day that was missed or if I should pick up from the current date.

What do you think? Let me know in the comments.

As you already know, there is an Apple event happending on Wednesday, March 2nd. It is supposed to be about the iPad where we will see the second version coming out. I have my doubts and my own opinions on what actually will go on.

1. iPad 2 will not be called iPad 2. I think Apple would be smart enough to come up with a better name. iPad NextGen.

2. The previous version will be reduced only $50.

3. Steve Jobs will not be there to annouce the new iPad. They will not make any reference to him and will not say anything about his health nor make a retirement annoucement.

4. The iPad 2 will have a camera on the front but not on the back. The back of the iPad doesn’t seem erignomical.

5. Pricing for the new iPad will be the same as first one was announced.

6. New iPad will not come in different color like people are suspecting.

7. A fully compatible Verizon Wireless iPad.

What do you think they will annouce?

When I first laid my eyes on the iPhone, I wanted one. This was when it first came out. It was a rocken phone that I knew no one else could replicate or even had. However, the price of the iPhone was way to crazy to pay and it was on the AT&T network. That is fine, but where I live, you would be lucky if you could get AT&T to work anyway.

Just the other day when Verizon announced they would be getting the iPhone, I went back and re-evaluated whether or not I would still get one now it was available on a better network.

I have come to the conclusion that I wouldn’t. There are several reasons:

1. Still a bit pricey

2. I have an iPod Touch that would satisfy all the needs the iPhone would except with the phone.

3. I barely use the phone part anyway.

4. Android is an open OS in which I could have the opportunity to use to try it out.

I rather familiarize myself with something else that iOS just to have more knowledge when talking about either device(s).

So, now is the question… would you buy an iPhone now its on Verizon or would you switch?

Welcome to the New Year. I hope everyone has  a great year.
