Las Vegas trip
June 9th, 2008
MatthewAs some of you are aware my wife and I went to Las Vegas on Thursday thru Sunday. It was a strange trip. First off, I could not win anything. Usually I will lose some and win some while in Vegas. This trip. I had absolutely no luck. Then on Friday night we ate at Tao and Paris Hilton came in to eat. A lot of people began to take pictures so I waited until we were finished and tried to take a picture of her. After taking the worst picture possible due to low light and the fact that I used my iphone,
the security asked me to leave. Not sure why but I left and did not have to pay the bill. On Saturday we went to Tao beach, a pool with nightclub music and atmosphere. There we ran across the nicest old guy dancing with the ladies in bikinis. I am not sure why but I took a picture:
I am somewhat concerned about the fact that we paid $9 a beer here. That is extremely overpriced for a can of beer and I must have a drinking problem for paying that . Anyways, I am back and so is everybody else here at 7 day web design.

1988 vs 2008
February 28th, 2008
adminThink the iPhone is pricey? The cool cell phone of 1988 cost $4,382 in today’s dollars. A 150MB hard drive? $8,755. Take a trip with us down memory lane and you’ll never whine about the price of a gadget again.
Ever wax nostalgic about your first PC or cell phone? It’s easy to forgive your Tandy desktop or your Motorola portable for their limitations — after all, they were technological infants.
What we often forget, though, is how $%#@! expensive that crude neolithic junk was! So join us on a trip two decades back in technology’s history — and we bet that the next time you’re charged $895 for a small square of plastic and transistors, you’ll smile and say, “Wow, what a bargain!”
Home Desktop PCs
1988: Tandy 1000 TL
Price: $1,400 ($2,454 adjusted for inflation)CPU: Intel 80286RAM: 640KBStorage: 3.5-inch floppy
Monitor: 14-inch, 640-by-200 RGB CRT, 16 colors
By 1988, personal computers had found their way into about 15 percent of U.S. households. PCs dominated, but other home systems were popular as well – among them the Apple II, Macintosh, Commodore 64, Atari ST and Amiga 2000.
PCs came with DOS; Windows 2.0 was a $99 option, and one of many competing graphical interfaces. Radio Shack was home PC central, offering the Tandy 1000 TL for $1,400 in a configuration that included a 14-inch, 16-color monitor; 640KB of RAM; and a single 3.5-inch floppy drive.
Tandy’s DeskMate graphical interface provided an office suite, drawing and sound-editing apps and PC-Link online software, a precursor to AOL. The 16-color monitor, graphical OS and multimedia support were cutting-edge in an era still dominated by monochrome monitors and DOS. But the $1,400 price didn’t cover a mouse, a modem, a network card, or a hard drive, each of which was an expensive add-on. And CD-ROM drives were extremely rare. Microsoft had just released the first version of Bookshelf, a collection of reference materials on CD-ROM in September 1987, and it would be another couple years before the CD-ROM format really took off.
The situation in 2008 almost defies comparison with 1988. Instead of conserving RAM and disk space like gold, we store our entire lives on our hard drives and expect our PCs to double as home entertainment centers. For a total price of $1,000, the HP Pavilion Elite m9100z is available with Vista Home Premium, a 750GB hard drive, an HDMI graphics card, Wi-Fi, a CD/DVD recorder, an HDTV tuner, surround sound, and a 17-inch flat-panel monitor.

Notable 2008 CES products
January 16th, 2008
MatthewI am very disappointed that I did not make it out to vegas for this years CES. Maybe in 09?
Here are some of the most notable ones I’ve come across online so far:
Receive A Text Message From Your Dog… If You Can Afford It!
The economics of fear are ever-evolving. Now even dogs can have a cell phone: The bone-shaped Zoombak device attaches to your dog’s collar and sends you a text message when she goes out of a certain zone, with her GPS position. But as always with pet-related gizmos, they know you love your dog so the price is hefty: $199 for the device and $14.99 per month for the service plan. Crazy, isn’t it? But rejoice, since for that much, you will have the jaw-dropping excitement of tracking your dog in real time as she scours the streets.
In-phone Video Editing
The Motorola Z10 features in-phone video editing: Add a soundtrack and text to your videos right on your cell phone or go as far as cutting and inserting videos or images, just like a professional video editor. You can even send the final cut directly to Youtube.
Shake Control
The Sony Ericsson W760 has an accelerometer (just like the iPhone) but it doesn’t limit itself to switching the display from landscape to portrait. Moving it up and down will adjust the volume accordingly and shaking it sideways while pressing the Walkman key will skip to the next song. You can even control games by shaking it but at the Sony Ericsson booth at the CES, the demo’s battery died just as they were about to show me that feature.
Gesture Control: Wave At Your Phone
The Sony Ericsson Z555 lets you mute ringtones or snooze the wake up alarm (among other things) by waving your hand two times in front of the camera.
Morphing keypad:
The Motorola ROKR E8 is the latest Motorola music phone. It features 2GB of built-in memory but also a “morphing keypad”, which is in
fact a touch-sensitive flat keypad that only shows the keys you need for what you are doing. Music playback brings up music controls and camera
use, zoom in and out controls among others.
