Up to $100 off a Refurbished Apple iPad →
There is no doubt that the tech gift to get this holiday season is an Apple iPad.
Well if you were hemming and hawing due to price this might be your oppotunity to jump on the tablet band wagon.
Apple is now offering WiFi only iPads that have been factory refurbished for up to $100 off, with free shipping.
Not a bad deal from a company that doesn’t ever much in the way of discounts. ...

Netflix Wants to Be Your Hulu →
I mentioned a few articles back how Netflix was offering big bucks for current season shows, well it seems like they have already struck a deal with ABC/Disney.
Current seasons of ABC hits like Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, and Brother’s and Sister’s will be available to stream via Netflix just 15 days after they air on ABC TV.
Also included in this deal is past...

Cobra iRadar | The Most Advanced Radar Detection... →
Now this is a very nice gadget that some how slipped by me.
Cobra, the name in dash mounted radar detectors has come out with a radar detector that connects to your iphone (Android in early 2011) for a combination of live radar connection and a database of speed traps/red light cameras.
I used to drive a lot, and I always had a “fuzz buster” in my car, it saved me from more...

Verizon CEO: 4G can be a 'substitute' for home... →
Well initial reports is the service is fast enough to be a home interent replacement option but considering that you will be over your 5gb cap with just a few movies from netflix, this is not at all a reasonable option.
Verizon, don’t get me wrong it is very cool that you have this super fast ultra modern wireless high speed internet. But you need to give a data plan that is not trapped in...

Blogging startup Tumblr apologizes for growing... →
A venture beat article that goes over what happened to tumblr (and consequently TechnologyViewer) over the weekend.
What I find interesting is that Venture beat still refers to Tumblr as a start up. At what point does a startup cease being a a startup?
I mean seriously, I have been blogging on tumblr for over three years and I had heard about it for at least two years before I started using...

Netflix Willing To Pay $100,000 Per Episode For... →
New shows, current season stuff, and this is per episode not for the season.
Interesting move Netflix…
I think Netflix is trying to become a viable competative option to Cable TV. I think they could do it.
The only hiccup is who owns the rights to in-season distribution. The networks claim they have it, the production companies claim they have it. Either way it will need to be...

Gowalla 3.0 Unifies Check-Ins, Places With... →
An interesting piece by Tech Crunch. Gowalla aims to be the check-in app of choice by being platform agnostic, it will check you in to Gowalla, of course, and Facebook, and twitter, and foursquare all with one click. And the better part is it will track your friends across all those platforms as well… Making it the one check-in app to rule them all…
It will be interesting to...
