I had a long game instant message conversation with a friend of mine to, we were talking about the relative merits, or lack thereof, of the Nexus One versus the iPhone.
Mike, my roomie, is a deep geek in every sense of the word. He gets a kick out of dissecting technology and reassembling it to see what he can make it do. He’s the congenial of guy who will buy a relatively cheap movie camera then try to attach SLR lenses to it just to see if he can, and what can be produced if he does.
I use to want to do accessories like that, and I’m still fascinated by the internal goings on in tech, but I just don’t have the time to tinker. I be deficient in my gadgets to work. End of story. When they don’t work, I want them fixed. I can and have tinkered to fix my stuff and things connection to other people, and I do enjoy tinkering, but I’d rather write and take pictures than tinker. And I went I do write or process the pix I’ve infatuated I want my computer to do what I want, when I want it, and pronto. I don’t want to be flagged every time my computer hiccups. I don’t miss to see a pop-up whenever I sneeze. I just need it to let me write or play with my photos. The same is true for all my gadgets. They just need to labour.
You can imagine the conversation Mike and I had. Mike was excited about the Nexus One. He pooh-poohed the stories that spoke of problems with Google’s new Android based smartphone. He was more interested in the openness of the desire and underlying OS and development environment and railed against Apple’s supposed Orwellian ideology that surrounds its iPhone.

What is a good alarm clock to buy?Honourably I've gone through at least a hundred alarm clocks, and the best one I've ever had was a cheap one from Wal-Mart. Payment me $5, and I've had it for 4 years now. Works great, never fails. A few years back I had a $80 alarm clock from Brookstone (yes, I understand, that's rediculous, but at the time let's just say I could afford it) that broke very likely two-weeks later. If you want a dependable one, I'd just reccomend a cheap digital.

Why is it that any alarm clock I buy will ring (briefly) in the middle of the night?You're doubtlessly hearing the beep from an electronic telephone. Every so often the central office sends a failing, sharp impulse through the wires. This isn't enough to set off the ringer of an old-fashioned mechanical-ringer phone, but it'll give rise to a beep from a lot of electronic phones.
The reason they send the impulse to your telephone is to sing off all the electrical contacts in your telephone line. This greatly reduces noise and improves reliability.
