"Given carrier reputation and our own iPhone call drops, we were pretty surprised to discover, through careful testing in 12 markets, that AT&T’s has pretty consistently the fastest 3G network nationwide, followed closely—in downloads at least—by Verizon Wireless."

Paint-Less Coca Cola Can

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

“The naked can help to reduce air and water pollution occurred in its coloring process. It also reduces energy and effort to separate toxic color paint from aluminum in recycling process. Huge amount of energy and paint required to manufacture colored cans will be saved. Instead of toxic paint, manufacturers process aluminum with a pressing machine that indicates brand identity on surface.”

YES! This is genius. And, the cans look awesome!

Simplify Media Software

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

This is one of the most useful applications I’ve come across in a long time. Available on both Windows and Mac (and iPhone), Simplify Media is a lightweight program that tums your PC into a streaming audio server. You can access your music on any computer that has the Simplify Media software installed. It’s genius.

First you create an account. Then you just install the free software on the PCs that you want to connect, linking them to the account you created. During installation, specify the directories on your computer that house the music you’d like to share. Once the setup is complete, you’ll have access to those music directories anywhere! The sound quality is amazing, too. I stream music from my office PC to my living room at home and it’s crystal clear (as long as you’re on wi-fi). If you’re using EDGE or 3G, the quality will be degraded a bit. It sounds like a 64kb/s mp3. The best part about this software is that you can ‘Invite’ your friends to share each other’s music … Invite me. My screen name is “alexmazzucca”. Simplify Media can be downloaded here.

Wii Music

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

Excellent! Like a free-form Guitar Hero, Wii Music doesn’t rate or score you. You can create original music using all of the major Wii interface devices. You can even create an accompanying music video! I can’t wait for this. It’s coming out this Christmas.
