MARIO ARMSTRONG
By: T M Johnson
I think I've found "my hero" or at least a tech pro who incorporates all the various things that I myself would like to be apart of. This Technology hero's name is: Mario Armstrong you may have seen him on CNN, CBS, or heard a podcast of him on a tech related subject. Mario being an African American from the city of Maryland has excelled in ways that I wasn't sure was possible in the tech world. He caught my attention once or twice when I saw him talking tech on CNN but I think the real clincher was when he won the 2011 Emmy for the "Best TV show" host, from that point forward I could see that his hard work was producing phenomenal results and I had to follow him a little more closely. Yesterday I viewed him doing wall to wall coverage on the Consumer Electronics Show which I did a quick post on and later that day had the pleasure of viewing: Innovation Nation on CNN where they talk to a richly diverse panel of results oriented start up business owners.
Please visit Mario Armstrong's website and the website of other Technology based websites supporting and encouraging African Americans too further their career in technology.

Here are some of the new or improved technologies we've heard from these companies:
Ford Cloud Evo
Scheduled to make its full debut at the 2012 conference in
January Ford is going to be using "cloud computing" and a sleek new design will be bringing some of the convenience and comfort to drivers everywhere.
Intel Insider
Doesn't Intel make processors and computer hardware? Yes they sure do and as a matter of fact when you get a whiff of the "Intel Insider" you will need a 2nd generation processor to actually create the HD quality picture that you will be able to produce from your computer monitor!

Sony 3D Blogger Camera
Sony a household name, almost like a family pet is re introducing the 3D blogger camera. If nothing else you can suspect that this camera will be taking pictures in 3D possibly using some sort of "firewire" or "fiber optics" cord to transfer data from the camera to your computer. If nothing else I think it will be cool more
Internet Based Appliances
We all know that this is the year of the tablet and mobile devices, mobile media, and mobile commerce which most people are expecting. While you may heard some buzz about internet based appliances you may want to give it a little bit more of serious thought it looks as if though tech companies are gravitating in the direction of connecting home appliances on the internet.
Why? Well the short answer is techs can troubleshoot from the office regarding your washing machine, refrigerator etc. , imagine being a able to organize and know what foods your are low on before you open the fridge, keeping abreast to safe temperatures and creating the most efficient environment for your food. Some people may regard this as excessive use of technology and yeah you have the right to be a little uncomfortable with it but these technological advances go with the saying: "Its better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it!"

IPAD Lovers can Asus Eee Transformer Prime, transform ya?!
Many are absolutely “sprung” off of Apple products and this little tech girl is one of them, Apple is notorious for their sleek, sexy, design , ease of usage and superior marketing ability and as a advent apple user I can honestly say this is not all hype either. It is however a bitch when something in the software/hardware breaks down and you have to fixed but the malfunctions are no where near standard devices, with that being said mobilemedianow@blogspot wants to compare Apples and Oranges. The question is: Is the new release of the “Asus Eee Transformer Prime” enough to transform an IPAD2 user to an Android user?
The Asus Eee Transformer Prime begin circulating tech blog sites in early November proving to be a worthy topic as Asus is also a manufacturer of motherboards and other computer hardware peripherals. The Asus original transformer while it worked great was clunky, boxy and plain – it just wasn’t sexy so many quickly diverted their attention to tablets like: Samsung Galaxy, Motorola Xoom etc. The Transformer Prime housing a quad core processor housed by NVIDIA running on the critically acclaimed Icecream Sandwich OS/ Android 4.0, a sleek new design ranging in colors from Gray to Champagne and is slightly smaller than that of the IPAD.
The Ipad dimensions being 9 Inches while the transformer coddles at 8.33 MM. The I pad 2 only having a dual core processor running on the IOs 4.3 and possessing many of the same features of the IPAD with the exception of its10 total hours of battery life which is pretty impressive! Now let’s talk about the Asus Eee transformer Prime the battery life is a whopping 18 hours ! Yes I said it 18 hours the contingency is that its 18 hours if you attach the keyboard to it but w/o the keyboard you’re looking at 12 hours total. The screen display for the “Prime” is 1280 x 800 while the Ipad 2 is 1024 x 768 however visually the graphic frames of Apple products have always reined supreme due to the frame rates and in IPAD 2 case they’re using a 1GHZ dual core chip to display those graphics not to mention the release of “I movie” on the IPAD 2.

Last but not least lets talk about the camera’s on both the Asus and Ipad2. I’m thinking that Ipad2 would be awarded an #epicfail in this category. While the Pad has an HD lens on the back lens it simply does not utilize the HD feature at full capacity making it a cosmetic feature with no real relevance. The Prime isn’t extremely impressive either but reasonable as it uses a 1.2 megapixel camera on the front and an 8 megapixel camera on the back lens making the camera as useful as a digital camera was in 2009. Infact I still have my digital camera from 2009 and have yet to upgrade because it still works pretty good.
Keeping with the spirit of “Iconic” cartoon references now that you have the specs/facts about the Ipad 2 and Asus Eee transformer you as a consumer can make an informed decision and knowing is half the battle! GI JOE!

Apple vs. The World!
Mobile media and technology has become such a huge contributor to the market at large the competition has become fierce, relentless, cut throat and malicious! I don't know about you but I for one love it!!!
In 2009 Apple reined "supreme" as it innovated mobile technology due in part too the Iphone's release to the public at large. The Iphone open the flood gates for touchscreen usage on a mobile device, its use of apps which now goes un uttered in the mobile tech world, and the popular Apple OS as its branded operating system. Apple quickly diverted market share and sent companies like Motorolla, Google, Samsung and Windows back to the drawing board!
Fast forward the tape to 2011 and you have Android phones running operating systems such as Android 3.1 and newly released Android 4.0 affectionately knows as the "Ice Cream Sandwich" OS. The android market app store, touch screens, windows mobile etc. are all used as tools of competition and technical warfare in response too the Iphone. However the Iphone still remains attractive and highly desired by society at large! Early 2011 Apple received several injunctions against Samsung for the technologies used in their Galaxy 10.1 tablet. Recently it was reported Samsung is now in court practically begging Apple to hand over some licensing and patent technology. Simultaneously Apple has received its own painful blow from Motorola after receiving an injunction in Germany over usage of Motorola's mobile technology, needless to say the war rages on!!! Apple has also had to endure the recent passing of their long time CEO Steve Jobs.
This is why I say Apple vs. The World!!! It is clear that their technology used is superior and more attractive to society at large. As a consumer I have seen "hype" surrounding nearly every new technology you can think of and being one who has bought into hypes I usually am disappointed by the results. In the case of the Iphone, Ipad, macbooks, I can honestly say I have never been disappointed by Apple. I believe their Unix based operating system is far more consistent and reliable than that of Microsoft. I can also respect the "branding" genius enginued behind Apple's marekting techniques- I must pay homage and respect because they're undeniable. Other technology companies know it too this is why they are scrambling for ways to outdue Apple, scrambling for ways to control and manipulate things to either become favorable for them and/or unfavorable Apple. My advice is to continue with the model that Jobs has set and do not become complacent and to always "be innovating!" I relate this to other great moguls that was awesome at what they do like "Michael Jordan" many will argue Lebron James is a better rebounder etc. etc. but you can't erase what Jordan did in his time and the big shoes he left to be filled! Similar to "Apples" contribution to mobile technology, you can't erase what Iphone has done for mobile technology!
