Cool New Phone

Are you looking for a new phone? Well, if you’re not in South Korea, don’t expect to see the new Samsung B900. This new phone offers a built in TV turner that doesn’t cost extra. Anywhere you go, you’re able to watch your favorite TV shows right were you are. That would be a very cool feature to have here in the US. According to PC world almost every new phone in South Korea is offering a built in TV tuner.

quickrewards.net

I found a new rewards website; quickrewards.net. For the most part, you complete surveys that don’t require you to purchase anything. You then get money for completely the survey. If you’re not into surveys, they also reward you for playing games, checking out websites, and several other ways. They offer paypal, amazon.com cards, and money other gift cards. You can also get other items, but mostly gift cards; Including walmart! I was only on the site for 2 days and made enough to purchase a $5 amazon.com card.

Worlds First Solar Powered Laptob

Everyone seems to be concerned with the environment these days. That includes laptop producers. The GYY is the first solar powered laptop. Currently it is only sold in Europe. Before you go running out to go get one, consider some of its specs. It only has 128 MB ram, and a 400 MHz processor. As PC World says, some smart phones have more power.
To keep the environmental theme going on, the casings are made out of 100% biodegradable material. Here is a link to the PC World article: click

Holographic Projector

What if you didn’t have to turn around to check your blind spot while driving? You say that will never happen unless you want to wreck right? Well, now there is a device that tells you the exact distance between you and the closest vehicle. The device was created by Light Blue Optics. They presented their little device at the Society for Information Display’s Vehicles and Photons 2009 symposium held in Dearborn, Michigan. It is designed to be projected onto a mirror, but it can also be displayed on a windshield. Don’t expect to be seeing this too soon though. It’s still a couple years away from development.

Here is a HUD system currently used

Here is a little more info on the device: Click Here

Newest iphone App

You have all probably heard about the competitions held where teams compete with cars controlled by GPS. Well, now those vehicles are being driven with an iphone. Scientists at Berlin’s Free University came up with the technology that enabled them to drive the vehicle with the iphone. The vehicle is a Chrysler mini-van. It is loaded with computers that send a wi-fi signal to the iphone. The van has been converted to drive-by-wire instead of the more conventional cable driven style, which allows the app to work. The van was originally used for the DARPA challenge in 2007, so most of the technology was already in the van. This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while! Here is a video of the van!

Swagbucks.com

Eventually, this site will be more about gadgets. However, I found another really cool website that gives away free prizes.  All you do, is change your search bar to theirs, and they randomly give you points.  Another thing they do is swagcodes.  The codes are often posted on facebook, twitter, or the blog and you have to find them.  If you use the swidget, it usually gives you clues to where the code is located.  I figured why not get rewarded for something I already do.  If you would like to sign up, head to www.swagbucks.com OR you can help me out by using my referral link

Lockerz.com

lockerz.com is a really cool site a found on a forum I’m on all the time.   All you do is log on and answer daily questions. You get 2 points for logging on and 2 points for answering the question.  Eventually, you can play games, watch videos, and lots more to gain points.  You then can redeem the points for products that you want.  Everyone I talked to said that it was 100% legit.  I figured since they don’t ask for any personal info except for a shipping address, I couldn’t really loose.  The only downside to this site is it is currently invite only. So, if you want to participate, leave your email address in a comment, or email me at f150buggy@gmail.com and I will get you added to the site.

Reason for the Blog

My goal is to update the blog with something technology related at least once a week.  Hopefully, I can help anyone out there interested in some sort of technology.  If you have any thing you want to learn more about, leave a comment and I will do some research over the topic. Thanks for looking at my blog.
