Why ATBOM Doesn't Post Often

As the founder of ATBOM, I was recently asked "Why don't you guys post more often?  Your articles are great!"  Gee, thanks.  There's actually a very simple reason that we don't post more often...we're pretty busy in our everyday lives.  In all seriousness, the contributors at ATBOM have real lives, but all share a passion for technology.  The gig is at-will for them.  And to be completely honest, the Internet is full of places to get basic technology information or a generic opinion on the latest products.  What we have tried to do, is offer an insightful opinion on topics that we feel aren't necessarily being covered everywhere else.

When we sense that there is a topic that can use deeper insight than what your traditional blog is willing to offer, we will be there.  Personally, I will make the effort to write a bit more often.  Simply because there is a lot going on out there that warrants a strong discussion, like the inevitable fall from grace that Apple will soon have.   Or, what will a post-Facebook world really look like?  Or, what really happens when you try to cut Google and all that it has to offer out of your life completely?  These are the topics that we will be getting into.

In closing, do follow us on Twitter @atbomblog.  Any of our original articles will be tweeted from there.  Plus, I tend to retweet many interesting articles that I find, that I think you would find interesting, as well.  Thanks for enjoying our work.

Here's my Flying Car! Almost.

So, when we last spoke, I was kind of hard on society for failing to provide us with our flying cars. Well, it turns out that Martin Aircraft Company Limited is launching the Martin Jetpack as a commercially available device, this year. The device will run on regular gasoline, so no worries about purchasing jet fuel. It will travel about 31.5 miles at an impressive 63 MPH. Apparently, it may be possible for the device to travel faster than that, but FAA regulations required that Ultralight Aircraft travel at a speed of 63 MPH or slower. The device is also capable of reaching an estimated altitude of 8,000 ft.

Sony rolls out PS3 Update - Netflix Goodness for Canada

On September 22, 2010 Sony rolled out PS3 update 3.50 which brought the ability to watch Blu-ray 3D movies to the console, and in-game Facebook support.  But what they've also done is enabled disc-less Netflix streaming for their console!!!!!  Wait...not for the US consumer, just Canada.   IGN is reporting that coinciding with the launch of Netflix in Canada on Sept. 23rd, Sony has enabled Canadian users to stream Netflix to their console without the need for a disc.

Switching from Windows XP to Windows 7. Painless?

Today, I took the leap and upgraded my laptop from Windows XP to Windows 7 .  The experience was much smoother than what I expected.  If you Google "Windows XP to Windows 7" you will get warnings that this is not for the faint of heart, or advice to let a professional do it, and on and on. My experience was not that bad.  I have a Dell Latitude D820, which is a Dual Core Processor running at 2.17 GHz with 2.99 GB of usable RAM out of the 4 GB that's physically installed.  This is because I have an x86 processor that is only capable of running a 32 bit Operating System.  Which, in turn means that my processor can't interpret more than 2.99 GB's of RAM, no matter how much is installed.
