CIS 120 POST

OK folks, here's one of those techno posts I warned you about. It certainly isn't required reading for anyone interested in this blog but none-the-less it must be done and the appropriate readers are more than welcome to comment.

Tech Tales 2010-
What's new? You would assume Windows Office 2010 is new. It's not. It's just been in development during the downtime after the great Windows debacle, (do you remember Adobe) that allowed Mac back in the door. Sorry, that's not what I'm going to talk about, there are more interesting things out there to talk about. Like ESPN's newly formatted homepage with a quicker file structure making access to pertinent sites much more easy. Sorry, that's not what I'm going to talk about either.

Thanks to my friends at http://www.techfresh.net/ aka, the Tech Freshies, I have learned that there is more superfluous crap on the market today than ever before. Take for example a $25k scanner. Given, it is a "production" scanner but my gawd, twenty-five thousand dollars!?! This thing had better milk my cows too. There are some cool things out there for you Androids (aka Android users.) A new 10" touch screen tablet is making it's way onto the market and is under $300. Just like the iPad, this lil' droid does all the tasks you'd expect from an iPad with a different OS. Another little gem that caught my eye was the Warm-X Textiles shirt.

This shirt looks good on the model and it also produces 7% of the body's heat without electricity or even a hot wire. It's made from a polycolon microfibre that actually creates heat. It sure would make waking up on these cold central Oregon mornings a whole lot easier when you stay warm from the bed to the shower.... That wraps up this weeks Tech Tale. I know you all will be awaiting the next Tech Tale with baited breathe but I'm sorry to say it's a week away. Hang tight and all will be right in Mudville, if you're bored, go read up on the Warm-X shirt and see if they make long-johns.
