by Jaime Rivera | June 4, 2013 6:43 PMAt times when we've got octa-core processors and we carry more RAM on our smartphones than computers could ever carry less than 10 years ago, it's clear that there's a huge fight for supremacy when it comes to which product carries the most revolutionary specs. Sadly, since none of these specs are exclusive to a specific OEM, it seems that all flagship phones do exactly the same thing but with a different brand and UI. When Apple launched the iPhone 4, there's no denying that the company defied many concepts at the time. They sandwiched glass and stainless steel in order to make one of the ...

by Jaime Rivera | June 3, 2013 5:45 PMYou know, every time that people criticize Apple for just launching one smartphone every year, I find the biggest argument to be funny. According to many, one size doesn't fit all, and in a way, even though that argument is correct, that doesn't mean that Apple is the only one following that mentality. See, Apple launches just one phone and that device will be their flagship for the rest of the year. In a similar way, Samsung, HTC, Sony and others launch one flagship to compete as well. Different companies make all of these phones, with different a design and software approaches, but they ...

by Jaime Rivera | May 31, 2013 6:01 PMWhen Motorola announced the Atrix HD, I did everything I could to get it, and I did. I know many of you are not fans of the RAZR, but it was the first GSM RAZR available, which is what works where I live. I didn't want it because of its design, or the Kevlar, or the call quality, I just wanted it because of its Nano coating. I run as a hobby, and I sweat more than the average man, so for me it's always peace of mind to have a phone that I don't have to worry about getting wet. Sadly the Atrix HD is only splash proof. It can get wet and not become affected, but it's not like if you can use ...

by Jaime Rivera | May 30, 2013 5:12 PMIt seems that 2013 is all about the tech giants that are struggling, or the tech giants that are enjoying an incredible amount of success. It's funny how there's hardly any company in between. Even funnier is that most of the tech giants that are struggling singlehandedly owned or invented these markets just a couple of years ago. Whether it's Nokia, BlackBerry or HTC, we are all somewhat saddened by seeing how these great innovators just can't figure it out. Albert Einstein once said: "The significant problems we face today cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we ...

by Jaime Rivera | May 29, 2013 5:46 PMHistorically we've seen many cases of how crucial the right marketing can be for a company, or how devastating the wrong marketing can be as well. On the positive side, we've seen how Samsung and Apple have hugely benefited from great marketing. Many of us agree that both Apple and Samsung products are great, but so are HTC products even if we don't see HTC succeed in the same way. The only difference between these three companies is their approach to Marketing, where HTC clearly doesn't push as hard as the other two. And then we have the complete opposite, where companies like Palm did ...

by Jaime Rivera | May 28, 2013 7:07 PMIf you've been following the news yesterday, you'll notice that there's a lot of buzz about the future of a Nexus smartphone. As it turns out, LG doesn't seem to be working on a Nexus 5 yet, and for those of us that have been following the smartphone industry for the last couple of years, one thing we know is that a new device can't be designed, produced and shipped in just a couple of months before its possible launch in the fall. Now let's be fair, LG stated that they're not working on a "Nexus 5" yet, and if the name of Google's next smartphone isn’t Nexus 5, they wouldn't necessarily ...

by Jaime Rivera | May 27, 2013 9:21 PMTry to remember the first computer you ever used. It would be awesome if you could share your first experience with a computer in the comments. The first computer I ever used was an old clone PC that my father bought for the family business back in 1992. It ran DOS 4.2, and yeah, I was really good at memorizing all the commands needed to keep it running. That was its biggest problem though. All you had was a black display with a cursor, and unless you knew the commands, all the cursor did was blink at you. There was nothing intuitive about it, and the user manual was very big. As a result, ...
