Stupid IT
CUBICLE - This week we found out that IT had blocked GChat, and that's definitely not making us happy... I mean, how could you have taken that away, after blocking so many different applications and websites. Before the IT department had already taken out IM (AOL, MSN Messenger, etc.), YouTube, Facebook, and now they've taken away the last [...]
The Digg Revolt
CUBICLE - Since my coworker told me about this website roughly 5 years ago, I visit this site multiple times a day, and I've been a loyal reader and an occasional contributor. I find all the funniest pictures, most awesome technology news (my favorite!!!!), and weirdest comments from politicians and people around the world. This site is called [...]
Hello Google Voice
CUBICLE - So today Google announced that it's going to integrate Google Voice into its Gmail... basically, you can call anyone in the US straight from your PC, without being charged a penny! BAM, right in the face of Skype, who has been talking about going IPO lately... well, I see a tough IPO here now. I've actually been using Google Voice [...]
When Engineers Party
CUBICLE - Back in college, we engineers partied differently... when the other guys were out there drinking and dancing in clubs, we were in our own dorm rooms. Simon would call John, and John would let Jimmy know, and Jimmy would call Ted, who in turn messaged Pete to get ready for the party. But we, again, stayed in our own dorm rooms, [...]
Unofficial iPhone 4 & Droid X Review
CUBICLE - OK, with all the reviews flying around on the iPhone 4 and Droid X, I figured I could do a little unofficial review myself since I've played around with both lately. My sister and wife both got the iPhone 4 over the weekend, and I also got a chance to mess around with a brand new, fresh out of the oven (figuratively speaking), Droid [...]
Email Server Down!
CUBICLE - My coworker asked me if I was having Email problems at 10:30am, and I said "nope, it's been working OK the entire morning", and then the next thing I knew was that it had just stopped working. 10:31am. "OK, so I guess we wait for IT to fix the problem. " - 10:32am. "Uh.... so what now???" - 11:03am. "Forget this, I am heading [...]
Tablet PC War
CUBICLE - There's been so much talk on the iPad and how many Apple has sold (over 2 million already), but at the same time there is another war going on beneath the sea surface. There are quite a few manufacturers working on their own tablets trying to grab this rising demand for tablet, which bridges the gap between laptop and smart [...]
Rise of the Machines
CUBICLE - We've all seen these movies about machines taking over the world, or humans fighting the robots, but as much as they are cool, we know they're still far far away... T-101 didn't come in 1999, but Mr. Schwarzenegger did almost terminate California with our deficit...argh... Anyway, today as I was about to step away from the cubicle for [...]
