It took six months and $300 (US) for Fede Alvarez, an advertising professional from Uruguay to produce a really cool, short film employing giant robots, UFOs and mind blowing special effects. And, when the video was uploaded on YouTube it not only went viral but fetched Fede a Hollywood deal worth a mammoth $30 million - all in 5 days flat. For the full story click here

The bottom line is: this guy has talent. And just think what Fede could have done with $3000.00 dollars.

I am already sold. Just wish it could be used on my Samsung i8910hd. Nevertheless, for you iPhone users this app has a lot to offer!

I just cannot get enough of these free software (beta) offers. It is like I get to throughly try out what is new every few weeks/months. On my Samsung i8910 HD smartphone, the Opera Mobile 10 browser (beta) has caught my attention and now this. What fun:)) My tablet PC and UMPC will definitely be getting a work out. More on this story can be obtained from this gottabemobile link here.

Even though I don't own a Nintendo Wii I have played with it and find it a fun gadget that the entire family should use, however this poor lady and stupid radio station took it to a whole new level. And yes, I have heard of water intoxication before this tragedy transpired. Nevertheless, I think the award (16.5 million) is a tad bit to high for there is blame to spread to both sides of this craziness. Click here for the full link. Any thoughts?

Take note that we will see more of this technology coming to a smartphone near you very soon. And just think, our lives will be much easier to navigate.

Part of this article states: "

Will my aging computer run Windows 7?

Maybe. If your PC can run the much-maligned Windows Vista, it can probably run Windows 7. Check your computer's specs: To install Windows 7, you'll need at least a 1 gigahertz or faster 32-bit (x86) processor, plus at least 2 GB of RAM and at least 16 GB of available hard disk space"

however one shouldn't believe everything one reads because my Fujitsu U810 Ultra Mobile Personal Computer (UMPC) has a Intel A110 (800 Mhz) processor and run Windows 7 very well.  The bottom line is: don't spend your hard earned money so fast when the old system works with the updated software.

I have been using the beta and release candidates for many months now and will without a doubt will pay for the upgrade from Vista. And with that written, the multi-touch enhancements are fantastic on my Hp TouchSmart tx2 Tablet PC and Fujitsu U810 UMPC. Well done Microsoft!

Less than I month after I bought my handy dandy i8910 HD the price has been reduced by 150 Euros:((
And just think, if I had only waited.... Not a chance and no regrets for this is the smartphone to have at the right time in my life. And technology must move on and make way for the next innovations. I wonder what in a years times will be the standard? Nevertheless, I cannot wait:))

I first saw this video over at the gottabemobile.com website and thought that this is something I should share with you fellow Voxers just to highlight the fact that Apple products can drive a sane person to drastic measures. And with that written, my LG KC910 and Nokia N82 have not disappointed me yet. They do have their shortcomings but overall I will give both a thumbs up award.

The other day I received a letter from a sister banking (not my main bank) institution informing me about the latest and greatest news about the fully automatic teller machine. Remember, before when the ATM dispensed out cash only now in my neck of the woods they (the machines) now accepts cash up to 15,000 Euro with equates out to around $22,000 which includes paper currency and coins (and unsorted coins)  And this service is available 24/7.  I wonder what the bank tellers think about this handy service that I will try out this weekend. I think some might be out of a job soon or only reduced to part-time employment. Nevertheless, I like this trend toward more self service. What are your thoughts?
