 LG’s latest Bluetooth headset, the HBM-770, is like any other Bluetooth headset on the planet… except I like it! The simple fact of the matter is that this is the first of a couple dozen Bluetooth headsets I’ve tried which actually fits and is light enough to actually disappear on my ear and is loud enough for me to hear it while I’m cruising down the I-5 with the windows down.
The HBM-770 is just like every other Bluetooth headset, as I’ve said before. It has a power button, a charging port, volume controls, and you can plug it in the charge. It sits on your ear using a large loop (See image left). which starts behind the microphone and causes it to gently rest on your ear. Its the in-ear piece which defines how it sits on the side of your head, which really seems to work for me.

February 18th, 2009 | Tags: CES, fun, iphone, mac, mobile, Opinion, service, technology, times, wireless | Category: Opinionation | As you well know, I’ve got an opinion on things. Lots of things, really, but my prediction skills have never been very reliable. I will say, though, like how obvious it was that Blagoevich was guilty, that I’m positive that Google is working on a desktop application for Windows and Mac OS X. Now, that can range anywhere from being an entire specialized Linux distro (an idea which has been floated many times before) to an Adobe AIR applet which makes it easy to work with your Google stuff. My money’s on real, native, fully functional, non-web UIed, bonafide applications for Windows and Mac OS X, though, and the signs are clear.

February 16th, 2009 | Tags: drive, fun, media, mobodojo, wireless | Category: General News | MSI has announced their new Wind NetOn All-in-one (AIO) desktop system. MSI is billing it as the thinnest AIO there is, and at 35mm, I’m inclined to believe them. Other than that, its your standard Atom-based system with an N270 CPU, up to 2GBs of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, GM950 shared video with up to [...]
January 14th, 2009 | Tags: 2008, CES, drive, fun, games, life, mac, mobodojo, office, Opinion, review, social, wireless | Category: Opinionation |  If you’ve been reading me for a while you likely already know that I’m not a huge fan of Windows. I’ll admit, I am a huge fan of Windows 2000 which, in my opinion, was the best OS ever made in Redmond. After a few years, Windows XP made my #2 fave of all time Microsoft OS. That’s saying a lot for a dyed in the wool Macintosh guy.
When Vista was announced, it was reveled that Microsoft’s Windows team was yanking features (including WinFS, their new filesystem baby), and then its system requirements, I knew we were in for a rocky road with Microsoft’s obsession with making Windows more Mac-like. I was far from wrong. Vista has turned out to be Microsoft’s least liked OS ever (even less popular than Windows Me, though not nearly as hated as BOB).
Microsoft even stooped to tricking people into liking Vista by showing them Mojave, a tweaked version of Vista. Now, if they’re willing to modify the system to make all references to Vista become Mojave instead, what else were they willing to change… but I digress. I reported here that I would not be upgrading, and for some time I didn’t, but since Microsoft had sent me a press kit with a copy of Vista Ultimate, I couldn’t resist for long.

January 3rd, 2009 | Tags: CES, gadgets, games, iphone, mac, mobile, nintendo, palm, umpc, wireless | Category: Opinionation | If you believe that the world will end in 2012, you can stand at the back of the room. If and until global, Mayan calendar destruction happens, I’ll keep reporting on what I know; gadgets and mobile stuff, primarily. Of course, I love cars, the ultimate gadgets, and movies, viewable gadgets (yes, I love James Bond films), so I’ll keep on covering just about everything I like. Personally, I don’t believe the world will end in 2012. It certainly didn’t when we passed the millennium (either of them). Besides, there’s too much cool new stuff we need to do as humans before we before the Universe flushes us with the last moist towelette. With that, I bring you the Predict-O-Tron for 2009. Lets see how well I do before we roll in 2010:
