Things Smackie Thinks You Need to Know...

I've got the moves like Jagger.

God, I hope this is true….

Amazon Prime Getting Fox TV Content

Also hidden in the press release….

"and newly available on digital video, "The Wonder Years."

If I'm getting my Winnie Cooper on, all bets are off.

My advice, as usual, never buy a first gen Amazon product - the second gen will follow shortly (say Feb\Mar) and will likely be a better deal.  Thus, stay away from the 7 inch Fire and wait for the 10 inch Fire, which will likely come out at the same price in the Spring.

But jump on the Kindle Touch and the Kindle and the Kindle Keyboard.  They are really priced well below their actual value. 

And I rarely say this, but buy the "Special Offers" version.  The ads are only the screen saver and a small banner on the home page.  They do not appear while you are reading.  And truthfully, I've purchased three of the special offers so far, thus reducing the price of my Kindle.  Should be free by May….

thanks to the almighty vansmack, i purchased a galaxy 2 epic touch phone thing.  so far, so impressed.  thank you!  the screen is awesome the feel is light and sexxxy.  now . . . can you point me in the direction of an equally awesome case?  i was not aware of the whole sticky screen protector sheets that you have to find a youtube video to properly put on.  someone told me they are horrible, they make the screen hard to see over time.  is that all there is for screen protectors.  i was certain i saw a case for an iphone that had a thin sheet of plastic something built into the case, so when you snapped it into place, there you were.  no bubbles, and it comes off and back on. 

sorry about the length of the post, but your opinions about the best cases for my new phone would be greatly appreciated and surely top notch.

The only one I've seen in person is the "Phone Cover Kickstand" that Sprint sells.  I generally don't care for hard cover cases though, but that's one of the nicest one's I've seen. 

I prefer TPU cases (Thermoplastic polyurethanes).  Instead of a regular "gel" case which will collect dirt and get grimey, the TPU case is good mix of the soft feel qualities of a gel case, with the durability and protection of the hard case.  And it doesn't collect dirt, but it does add a bit of thickness to your super-sleek phone, so weigh that against the thinner hard case.

As far as screen protectors, you really don't need one for that phone because it's made of Gorilla Glass which is scratch resistant, especially with a TPU case as it prevents your screen from touching the surface if you lay it face down.  That being said, some people still like screen protectors to keep keys and coins in the pocket from scratching the screen.  They tend to use the harder plastic ones instead of the softer plastic ones based on the bubbling.  Check out companies like sedio, bodyguardz or invisibleshield, as they have great reputations.  Sorry I'm not much more help here, but I don't use screen protectors on my phone.

Good time to buy?

Just saw this case on an Epic Touch 4G - looks good:

If you want the Sprint hard case, let me know. I might be able to get one a little cheaper.

ha - so it IS matrix that's powering this thing!  i've been using http://matrix.itasoftware.com/ for years now, but it's had a major flaw - it'll give you flight info and the price but you can't buy your ticket from there, you need to go to the airline's website and start your search over.

google domination marches on.

Sorry, I got distracted by the fact that my dream job is available again.

Off to polish up the resume.

Rhapsody Announces Plans to Acquire Napster

Less competition, bad.  But since the market for licensed digital files hasn't been stable, this might be what it takes to get stability.

This is the next Google phone, deets next week:

oh that will last a whole whopping six months in the grips of most clumsy oafs.

and besides the internerd . . . it is difficult to find any place that carries cases for the galaxy, especially tpu cases, which most salespeople just stare at me and mutter, "uhhh, never heard of that," or the occasional, "that's special order."
