The Samsung Galaxy

Samsung is releasing what I think is the biggest step in smart phones in a long time. The Note Edge is a Note 4 with a small strip of curved screen running down the side.

The screen contains your recent apps and can show twitter feed. It will show the amount of steps you have taken using S Health and all sorts of other things as developers get a hold of it.

I think that the screen will kinda get in the at of the way most people use a phone such as the Note. It takes two hands and when your typing you done wanna have wrap your hand around that screen and hope you don't touch it. I have enough trouble reaching something at the top of my S5 and not touching something with another part of my hand.

What do you guys think. Will it be a good selling innovative idea or will it do OK or will it tank. Leave a comment below.

My Swap from iPhone to Android

I was nervous for the swap.  I didn't know if I would miss my old phone.  A month has gone by and I can honestly say that I don't miss it at all.

I had my iPhone 5 for the 2 years of my contract and I loved it.  It was my home for all of my information and all of my media consumption. I had all of my data backed up to my Mac and my iPad and I could not imagine not having everything on all my devices.

I went into the AT&T store and wasn't sure what I was going to get when I got there.  I had thought about waiting and seeing if I wanted the iPhone 6 plus (so glad I didn't.).  I began by looking at the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.  I liked the large screen size but my thoughts soon went to would I want to have that everyday.  Would that really be nice a month later having to carry it in my pocket to my job.  I decided to look at the smaller screen of the Samsung Galaxy S5.  I loved the size of the screen it made the iPhone in my hand feel small but didn't feel so big that I would struggle to use it one handed.  I decided to go with the S5.

I got home and did all the normal stuff that you do with a new phone.  Sign into Twitter and all of my other social media accounts and then I started digging into the Google Play Store.  I had not had any interaction with Android in two years and I was a little concerned I would be lost.  I was wrong.  I got right back into it found that everything that I used on my iPhone was right there for use on my new phone.

The days went on and I still liked to use my iPad to watch videos and consume media because I was used to it.  But as I got more used to my phone I began to get away from my iPad.  My biggest concern at the time was battery life watching videos and reading articles for hours a day. This fear is gone now.  I don't ever worry about my battery life anymore like I did on my iPhone.  I get a full days use with no issues at all.  I don't even use my iPad anymore because I have become so used to using my phone for everything.

In conclusion for me the switch was a much needed change.  I wouldn't go to iPhone right now if you dropped one in my lap.

Rising Star

I just started watching the new show Rising Star and I love the way that they incorporate technology into the show.  I think that this is the future of television. I feel like if you get the audience that incorporated into the show you are always going to have a good show.
I have a question for everyone. Does anyone have the Galaxy S5 Active.  I am looking at getting it when I upgrade.  I don't have a lot more today.

iPhone 6 photo

So this photo just got released. Me and my aunt were talking about the new sizes of the iPhone and I just have to ask what does everyone else think? I think it is time for the iPhone to get bigger like the rest of the phones on the market. She thinks that they should keep it the same size. I don't know I just think that the line between phones and tablets is getting more and more blurred and it's just a matter of time before they have no choice. There will always be the people who don't want a bigger phone but I don't think that is the majority of people. What do yal think?

Lindsey Lohan suing Rockstar

Rockstar is protected by the satire law that means as long as they didn't directly reference her or malice her in anyway that the suit want go through. 

In other news the final episode of The Wolf Among Us is coming out. 

Random thoughts for the night.

I know this is a tech blog and what not and my thoughts do have to do with tech, kinda. I really want to know why people pick one brand of electronic and stick to it and no matter how good the other brands out there could be they only have positive things to say about the brand that they have or like. I myself was one of this people for some time. I only liked apple I wouldn't give any other company the light of day. But that has changed over the years. I have realized that only sticking to one brand makes you miss out on some of the best things about the advancements in technology. For example, the newest samsung phones have come out and they are water resistant and have a heart monitor. Which we all know that the iPhone 6 is supposedly going to have a heart monitor and all that other health related stuff but samsung already has it. To me it seems like iPhone in General is always a year behind everyone. Don't get me wrong that is a good thing sometimes because they get to see what the market does with that idea. Like the lg flex. The curved screen didn't take off like they thought it would and I am glad that apple didn't jump on the band wagon and make a flexed iPhone. 

That's my rant for the night have a good one. 

Apple Rumors

With all the rumors going around the apple workd today,it is hard to decide what is true and what is not. For starters in some of today's rumors, the China Times states that apple will change the number of back lights from two to one to cut down on bulk. This may cause some supply issues since the supplier that they currently use to get the backlights has trouble with one. 

Another rumor that is more of a question than a rumor is will the iphone 6 have a glass or sapphire back. I personal hope it is sapphire because I just like the idea of that. 

All this rumors could be nothing or some could be true. Let me know what you all think in the comments. Thank you for reading and as always goodnight.
