Remember when Acer was never given any respect in the PC business. Well, think again...Acer poised to beat Dell, become number two PC maker

I remember all of my computer friends and buddies telling me that Acer computers are garbage. Don't purchase them. The quality is not that good. I will have to admit that i used to agree with them, but now because of some of the recent changes i have seen from Acer, i can see why the company is on the heals of taking the #2 position away from Dell. Check out the link to an interesting story about Acer.

2010 Ford Taurus SHO....This is not your Daddy's Taurus or your Rental car from Hertz anymore!

It's about time Ford Motor Company! The Ford Taurus was one of Ford's top selling vehicles for many years. The problem was that they never re-designed the car and used the same old boring design for 15 or so years. Most recently, Ford even dropped the Taurus name (WTF?) and switched the name to the Ford 500. Probably, one of the biggest marketing blunders i have ever seen. C'mon Ford? What do they teach you in Business School.....BRAND RECOGNITION IS THE KEY! Therefore, after 15 years of hyping up the Ford Taurus brand name, they decide to drop it totally. What the hell were you thinking?

It looks like Ford finally realized their mistakes and are coming back stronger then ever. The quality numbers on Ford's have been the highest and years and most recently they announced the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO! Check out pictures and the article on the Ford Taurus SHO! Pretty Sweet. They are comparing it to an Audi A6 and BMW 535xi

Here are some pictures of the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO!

The government is going to investigate exclusive contracts between cell phone carriers and phone makers (i.e. Iphone/AT&T?, PRE/Sprint, etc..)

Everyone has been complaining lately about the stupid exclusive agreements between phone carriers and phone manufacturers. The number one complaint i hear about the IPHONE is that it's on AT&T's network. The phone itself is great, but the service is lacking. Other exclusive contracts are Sprint's new Palm PRE (which is only 6 months..far less then the current Iphone/AT&T exclusive contract). Exclusive G1 Android Phone by T-Mobile and the Blackberry Storm from Verizon. Check out the article.

Great Pictures of the NASA Space Shuttle mission to Hubble.

One of my students at the training school i work at has a very good friend who works at NASA. He works in IT Support for the Main Engines on the Space Shuttle. Basically, his department is the one that gives the order for "ALL SYSTEMS GO". Very cool stuff. Anyways, i have been lucky enough to get some pictures links for some awesome Space Shuttle Shots. Please visit the following website to see these images in HI-RES!

Blu-Ray is getting cheaper. Walmart is offering a Father's Day special for $128 Magnavox Blu-Ray player!

Well, after months of waiting, and waiting, and waiting for Blu-Ray players to come down in price. It looks like the prices are finally starting to come down. Of course, the company with the biggest purchasing power is beating everyone to the game. Walmart just announced that they will be selling a $128.00 Magnavox Blu-Ray player starting 06/14/09 - 06/20/09. This is a lot cheaper then spending $200.00-$300.00. Sounds like Blu-Ray is going down in price. I estimate a $100.00 sweet spot by Christmas this year!

Peace,
Sunil

Former Apple Executive who basically invented the IPOD is now the new CEO of PALM. Do i hear a Palm comeback emerging?

My good friend Jeff introduced me to this article about Jon Rubinstein who used to work for Apple and basically invented the IPOD. In recent months Mr. Rubinstein was hired by Palm along with many other Apple employees to work on the Palm Pre which was just released by Sprint this past weekend. Today, Palm just announced that Jon Rubinstein is now the new CEO of Palm. Is Palm gearing up for a comeback. Well, initial reviews on the Palm Pre have been positive. Only time will tell.

PALM PRE - The Full Reviews From Phonescoop, Engadget, and Gizmodo.

This weekend was the launch of the Palm Pre phone. Why is this the talk of the cell phone market? Well, two reasons. In the last 18 months, Sprint has lost over 1,000,000 customers due to VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE and it's inability to compete with AT&T's Iphone. Palm's earnings recently have not been well also in the past year. Therefore, the Palm Pre is a last ditch effort by Sprint and Palm to revive both companies. Will the Palm Pre add a little spice to both Sprint and Palm. Well, they have a six month exclusive contract till AT&T and Verizon have the Palm Pre. You be the judge. Check out the reviews below:

Move over Windows Vista, Windows 7 is coming out October 22, 2009!

It's been about a little over two years since Microsoft tried to woo the world with Windows Vista. Windows Vista came on the market in Jan'07 and after years of success with Windows XP, Microsoft's success was starting to take a spiral downward (great NIN album..LOL). Microsoft has had nothing but problems with Windows Vista and now to get the bad taste out of everyone's mouth, they have decided to come out with Windows 7. Lets just says i have been using the Release Canidate and installed this operating system a few months ago and i was very impressed. It is by far the fastest windows installation i have seen in years. Also, the User Authentication Control (UAC) in Windows 7 has been minimized. UAC was that annoying windows pop-up that kept coming up in Windows Vista that kept asking you "Are you sure you want to do this?". If you use Windows Vista, you know what i mean. Anyways, i have used Windows 7 for about 5-6 months and it's pretty good so far. Let's see how it performs when the final version hits the market on 10-22-09.
