Apple's new "pro display stand" is truly repulsive. Other than the obvious fact that it is an overpriced piece of (probably) composite aluminum, it lacks basic features that even the most entry level monitor stands have... and I'm going to prove it. I've been using VIVO's dual LCD monitor stand for about 10 years now, and it does everything [...]
In December of 18, Microsoft announced their plans to "adopt the Chromium open source project in the development of Microsoft Edge on the desktop" I just about lost my mind. Ok, I was mildly excited and a bit confused. Microsoft has had a long standing record in the desktop world of creating and maintaining "closed source" software and to [...]
I've been shopping around lately for a new social media scheduling tool for my "personal brand" (man, I swore I'd never say that) and came across Marketing Labs. The fine people of Marketing Labs were kind enough to give me a free trial, so over the course of the last week I've been giving it a shot. Here is [...]
I was lucky enough to score one of LG's first US laptops recently. I've been without a laptop for a few months now, and have been scoping out what has been out there for a while. I ordered the laptop on Amazon Prime and had it delivered within 15 hours. Not too shabby. I also didn't have to pay [...]
Note: Per the title, this is a friendly audit and more of a project-style post and not an attack or personal criticism of Matt in any way. I resepect Matt as an engineer and a person. To start off, it is worth noting that this is the epitome of a non-commercial hobby blog. He is not selling anything, has [...]
Twas playing with Twitter on my Android today, minding my own business when I came upon Twitter's new internal web browser. First thing to know about Twitter's new internal web browser is that it is part of the main Twitter app. Anytime you tap a hyperlink URI (not a hashtag) the web browser will open in a "new tab" [...]
For anyone that isn't aware, Google recently launched a program dubbed "Google Contributor." I added my email to the invite list and was blessed with an early invite this morning. Curious, I singed up right away. Initially I thought it was some sort of blogging platform but it isn't. Google Contributor is "a new way to fund the web" [...]
Black, white, or grey - if you are an SEO you probably use Scrapebox as a tool for one purpose or another. It is at the top of every "SEO tools" list in the industry and is still talked about on every IM forum on the web. The original version of Scrapebox was released in 2009 and has ran [...]
You just cannot reinvent email, period. Most people just want the basic features of email: from, cc, bcc, and attachments. Maybe some MIME/rich media. Recently I decided to give Google Inbox, Google's latest app (or Gmail's latest app) a try just to see what all the hype was about. Within about 10 seconds into my experience with Google Inbox [...]
Ok lets see here. Google+'s existence is and has been a fun debate, for sure. Larry Kim and Google+ battled this out on social networks, amongst others last week. It has also been the source of much debate pretty much since it was initially launched. To me, it definitely seems as though Google is permanently embedding Google+ into the [...]
