Tweet By: Hillel Fuld So there I was browsing the What’s Hot section of Google+ and among all the animated GIFs, there was one thing that caught my attention. Ashley Esqueda, a reporter covering CES 2012 for multiple publications was giving a demo of Samsung’s new product the Smart Window. While it does not get [...]
The impossible has happened. I have officially been labeled a “Windows Phone Fanboy”. If the people who called me that over the past few weeks only knew how much I despised my Windows Mobile device back in the day or about my vow to never buy a PC again, they would realize how ridiculous that title is. The thing is, I have been using a Windows Phone device for a few weeks now and I can’t stop writing about it.
Just in case you are not convinced how fast the mobile world is moving, the evolution of mobile photography is yet another proof. I still remember getting my first Motorola RAZR with, what was it? A 1.3 mp camera. It blew my mind. “How did no one think of this years ago?” I thought.

I know I know, you have seen all the cheap Siri knockoffs and they all left a lot to be desired. In fact, even the built in voice recognition technology on Windows Phone, TellMe, which Microsoft claimed is a Siri competitor is far from it. Same goes for Android. Like I said, 2012 might be the year of app clones.

Well, I guess it was only a matter of time… With the Web came viruses and email spam, something we have all been dealing with for years. Of course, things have gotten a lot better with new software and firewalls to protect us, but in reality, the writers of the viruses are only getting smarter and adapting to the new types of protection. With the recent explosion in mobile popularity, it is no surprise that these issues are showing their face on mobile phones as well.
I can’t say I remember the last time I woke up to my car covered in snow to the point that I had to shovel it out before going to work. Then again, I didn’t own a car when I lived anywhere in which that scenario is even possible. Having said that, if you live in such a place, you are surely familiar with the frustration that goes along with waking up to discover that your car is buried in snow and the first thing you need to do in the morning is an hour and a half of shoveling.
