3D Channels – Coming Soon To A House Near You?

3DTV 3D Channels   Coming Soon To A House Near You?

We’ve talked a lot about 2010′s technology and gadgets and what to expect this year on the Moxie Mo Show. One topic that is all the buzz is 3D – not the typical red/blue glasses you wear in a big movie theater, but 3D HDTVs and networks that will soon carry 3D television.

I think we can all agree that 2010 is surprising that 3D technology could actually be in people’s homes… quite frankly, I thought it’d take another 10 years to get the experience something worthwhile AND something inexpensive. But according to CES 2010, it looks like it may be coming sooner than you thought.

The Discovery Channel, one of my most favorite networks (Animal Planet, Discovery Channel, Discovery Health, etc) has teamed with Sony and Imax to bring 3D technology and programming to people’s homes in 2011. “So far, the 3D network doesn’t have a name. But when it launches, the companies said it will feature “content from genres that are most appealing in 3D, including natural history, space, exploration, adventure, engineering, science and technology, motion pictures and children’s programming from Discovery, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Imax, and other third-party providers,” quotes Cnet.com.

But more than science, sports fan will love this: ESPN, according to a USA Today report, is creating an ESPN 3D Channel that will deliver more than 85 live sporting events in 3D!

So what does one need to prepare for this new and awesome technology? Obviously, your new HDTV you got for Christmas will not suffice – but the newest and yet-to-come HDTVs will be 3D-ready and yes, glasses will be required. The question remains though, do you think 3D will be a hit (if done right) even with having to wear 3D glasses or will it just be another bust, like the 80s 3D flicks?

Google Makes Free WiFi At Airports

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

In an announcement from Google this week (the one last week can be found here), they announced that they are working with airports across the country as well as Boingo wireless, which is a wireless hotspot provider, to provide free wifi access to all major airports for the holiday season.

Wow, that’s huge. Most airport wifi hotspots can cost anywhere from $7/hour or even $20/day and Google and Boingo are “giving back” during the holiday season, which coicidentally coincides with the busiest time of air traffic (Thanksgiving through Christmas holidays).

So, if you’re interested in which airports will be participating in the free Google wifi hotspots during your travel, make sure to check out Moxie Mo Show episode 110. We will be providing you with all the information possible and you can find out more there. Go Google! Happy Holidays!

Obama’s Gadget

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

obama 300x208 Obamas Gadget

It’s clearly the week for President Obama with a historical inauguration and a week full of change for our country. As a tech geek, one story has me so impressed that even I must blog about it.

Don’t get me wrong; there are tons of great inauguration stories from across the country that have me so excited for this President and our next 4 years. But again, the fact that this is the first President to be so technologically obsessed makes me think he really is “just like me.”

You may recall that Obama’s favorite gadget is his Blackberry. He also uses a Mac which I think is pretty darn cool but he loves his Blackberry by all accounts and reports. Well, back in December, Obama’s Blackberry made news because some official Presidential group was making him give it up due to national security. You see no other President has had the ability to use a cell phone or any type of mobile gadget for that matter. No President has even been able to use email like you and I do so this is actually a big deal. Well as of today, some historical breaking news… Obama is getting to keep his Blackberry!

According to our new Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, Obama will get to keep his Blackberry because RIM (the maker of Blackberry) has added extra security features to Obama’s phone. “The President has a BlackBerry through a compromise that allows him to stay in touch with senior staff and a small group of personal friends in a way that use will be limited and the security is enhanced to ensure his ability to communicate, but to do so effectively and to do so in a way that’s protected,” stated Gibbs.

So major props to RIM/Blackberry – I don’t think you can get a better spokesperson than our President!
