Louis C.K. Treads New Media Distribution Path
21 Dec 2011 by Dave Parrack / 2 Comments
In case you hadn’t noticed, there is something of a revolution kicking off in the way media is distributed. It’s all going digital, the idea of ownership is changing, and, most crucially, the big media companies who currently act as middle-men are being subtly shunted out of the picture. The latest advocate of this new way of doing business is Louis C.K. His self-distribution and honor...

05 Dec 2011 by Dave Parrack / 2 Comments
Black Friday is now as much a part of the Thanksgiving celebrations as a big turkey and a huge family get-together. Some people even forgo the latter to ensure their place at the front of the queue for the former. Big-ticket consumer tech has always been the focus of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and this year was no different. Prices may have been cut substantially – which is the whole poi...

28 Nov 2011 by Derek Johnson / 1 Comment
It seems like I have been hearing the name “Bulldozer” from AMD for decades. And, while 6 months can seem like 10 years in computer time, the Bulldozer has finally been confirmed in Q4 2011. If you haven’t been following this topic, the Bulldozer core is used in AMD’s new line of high performance FX-series processors. The FX series harkens back to a time when AMD had the fa...

Kindle Fire proves that reviews are meaningless
28 Nov 2011 by Dave Parrack / 3 Comments
If you’re serious about purchasing a new piece of technology, do yourself a favor and try before you buy. Because relying on reviews, especially from just one or two people, is tantamount to gambling your money on one person’s opinion. We’ve all looked at reviews online. We even write them here at Techerator. And they can make for fun reading, and writing. But their worth is up f...

According to NFC Rumors, Nokia is in talks with JP Morgan to bring an NFC payment app to Windows Phones and possibly devices powered by Symbian, their home brew OS.

15 Nov 2011 by Craig Lloyd
That’s it, folks. Adobe Flash Player for mobile devices has officially packed up its bags and walked out the door never to be seen again. Of course, Flash for desktop operating systems will live on (and probably not all that well), but Adobe has decided that Flash on mobile devices just isn’t in the cards.
