The internet, a birthright.

I was at a seminar last evening where they were discussing the "internet of things", which according to wikipedia is- "The Internet of Things refers to uniquely identifiable objects (things) and their virtual representations in an Internet-like structure".

I was in awe of the cool concepts detailed by a person from LG electronics, imagine connecting most of your home devices to the internet and imagine what you can do with that! moreover imagine what data owners can do with that data!! 
So it brings me to this thought, if massive amounts of money( also read data) is being made from the information superhighway should it not be a birth right of every human being of the free world? Just like the freeways and highways we have the right to choose and use.
And the answer should be YES! 
I pay about 60 dollars every month for a "high"speed internet connection at home and probably connect around 10 - 12 devices to the network, this apparently falls under the medium bracket of home connected devices. To enter the higher bracket you need to have at least 20 or more devices connected. Yea, i guess that true for me as I don't yet connect the microwave,washers, fridge and myself to the internet!!! 
I am hoping the near future, gigabit  internet would be free to use to everybody on this planet with the ability to control every activity from the smartest hand held devices on earth.

Battle of the (angry) birds!

If I were a Falcons fan, i would be worried for this weekend!
The ospreys fly south to meet the other birds at Atlanta and I think i know which are the angry ones! we saw what happened all season long and particularly last week at the nation's capital. I am still an "amateur" fan of the sport with a 5 season experience and have become a life long supporter of the Redskins!
The Seahawks are playing as a team with the coach as their leader, and not surprisingly have become an extremely  fearful force both offensively and defensively. It is also true that their greatest support comes from their 12th Man.
I wish the Seahawks the very best and hope they make it to the peak this year..the angrier birds of the two!

Iphone 5 Vs ..Samsung Galaxy 3

I hate the Iphone, hence this is a totally biased opinion about the Galaxy S3! I am not an expert, hence this is not a a review..

definitely love at first sight, the S3 is a beautiful gadget which comes in shades of white,blue and red. My choice is the white..when I buy it! No , I don't have one yet, caught between a corporate plan and a rate contract it seems I either have to shell out top dollar for a full priced unlocked phone or wait for another year for an upgrade for which I still might have to pay out of pocket!
Android, is the other reason why I fell in love with the S3.I have been an android user for 2 years and absolutely love the freedom and google integration. I think the apple releases version of Iphone with incremental features rather than evolutionary, I mean it is apparent that all new features have been in Android for years! ( months!) .

Anyways , whatever... I like Android and the Galaxy S3 is the best smart phone out there.! SG 3
