The Surface Resurfaces in Microsoft's New Tablet, The Surface

What was announced for today, but was spoiled by a leaked internal document, Microsoft has announced a project that has changed shape and form through the years, the Surface. Surface is the name of Microsoft's touch screen platform, but now it has returned in the form of their brand new tablet.

Microsoft has dabbled with deploying a tablet in the past. The Courier was a split-screened folding tablet, but that project, which was highly anticipated for a launch, was indefinitely shelved a few years ago. It seems like that project may have been succeeded by what was announced today, which keeps the split feel with a functional case that pulls double duty as a keyboard. Oh, and that keyboard case comes in two versions, a multitouch keypad and a button-based keyboard.

The tablet itself is a 10.6-inch, HD screen tablet with a built-in kickstand - yes, a kickstand. The screen is also covered in Gorilla Glass 2, so it'll withstand a beating. Those keyboard covers attach magnetically, just like that other magical tablet. The tablet will come in 2 versions and will come installed with Windows 8. No prices announced yet, but they shouldn't exceed $2,000.

I think this is a promising new entrant in the crazy tablet race. The price may seem too expensive for a tablet, but this is a laptop masquerading as a tablet. The guts of this thing are powerful, containing an Intel Core i5 processor. So whatever the "ultrabook price" might be, won't be too harsh. It can run a full operating system, something these modern tablets do not run. You can have Flash on this!

Overall I'm excited for the Surface and I can't wait to see what the news will be about this exciting new product as the days after the announcement reveal themselves.

Dont Drink and Drive, even if you are in Mos Eisley cantina



Having a good time at Mos Eisley Cantina, but you dont want to over do it.  Even if you night is filled with people with the death mark, or random bounty hunters being shot dead, you always need a buddy to drive you home.

It is Renaissance Fair time, get ready with this Knight Hoodie

Ready for the fair?  Not the creepy state fair where you see creatures raise from the deep and eat triple fried corn dogs covered in chocolate.  No, the Fair that the Frakkin Nerds love is Renaissance fairs.  Where you can try out your best Tyrion Lannister catch phrase on the young maiden in the boostier.
Well make the day sweeter and you look closer to the part of Knight with this kick-ass hoodie
Over at Etsy, you can follow creator Chadwick Dillon 's creation of a Knight Hoodie.  
Currently he does not have any for sale, but getting on the list now to so you can be someone's Knight in Shinning Fabric.

Drop At&t for your iphone, go to Straight Talk , save CASH!






Today, I decide to get out of the death grip of AT&T data plan and cost with my iphone still intact. I decided to try out the unlimited monthly play from Straight Talk. For only $45 a month, you get unlimited data, phone and text. So you ask yourself, what is the catch? I dont think there is a catch.




After visting Straight Talk website, you only need to order a micro sim AT&T compatible. The cost range from 15 bucks for just the sim card, or 60 bucks for the sim card and first month of coverage. You can not pick up the cards at any local wal-mart, so you limited to using the website.




After getting the new sim card, which only took 4 days to get, I went on the website and transfered / ported my old phone number to the new sim card. It took 10 minutes for the transfer, but it has been noted that it could take up to two days to get it working. You know that the number has transfered when you cant make a phone call from the AT&T sim card.




When you get to this point, replace your sim card with the new one from Straight Talk. Power off, than Power on. Service was available on power up.




Now here comes the trick part, you need to do a few tricks to get the 3G running on the phone. If you are jailbroken, this is very easy.

(Per danogne10)

Here is Instructions for adding Apn for Data

Connect to Wifi and Download from this link and install profile then disconnect wifi and enjoy Unlimited 3G


goo.gl/dIh0q (its, slash, lowercase d, Capital i, lowercase h, zero, lowercase q)
or do it by yourself1. Connect to Wifi and go to help.benm.at2. click on tethering (very bottom)3. Create Your Own (very bottom)4. put in following info Name: Straight Talk APN: att.mvno5. download6. Install7. disconnect from wifi and enjoy Unlimited 3G
Here is Instructions for adding Apn for MMSPeople say that if you put in unrecognized sim like tmobile sim card the menu option to put in apns show up (which i tried and did work)then you quickly put back in the Straight Talk sim and put in setting under mms apn and go home and it would work (but for me on 4s it wouldn't save or something)
(This is what does work for me)1. Have phone Jailbroken by redsnow or Absinthe2. download "Tether Me" - cracked version for free from "sinfuliphonerepo.com"3. then the menu to put apn setting will show up under MMS APN enter
APN: att.mvnoMMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.33:80

MMS Max Message Size: 1048576
and thats it, only setup once, unless if you restore phone or reset settings, and its unlimited talk, text and web, and it works just like you have att

Now after you completed this steps, you will notice one issue. No working visual voicemail. If this is not a huge deal breaker, just keep it the same. There is a work around for both Jailbroken phones and non jailbroken. Download the app YouMail . It will give you a free visual voice mail.

Understand, do this at your own risk. There are other blogs and youtube videos describing the techniques. Here is one that I used. Good Luck and Good Savings.

RIP Ray Bradbury

(Image from People.com)
One of the greatest writers in our history has passed away at the age of 91 today.  Ray Bradbury was know for many of his novels like "Fahrenheit 451", "The Illustrated Man" and "Something Wicked this way comes".

He exhibited skepticism with regard to modern technology by refusing to allow any of his works to be created as e-books.  Bradbury changed his mind in 2011 when Fahrenheit 451 came up for renewal and allowed the publishing in a electronic format on the demand the publisher allow the e-book to be digitally downloaded by any library patron.

So from all the Frakkin Nerds out there, we want to salaute the incredible author with a fitting tribute by Rachel Bloom , which is very NSFW!
