Today the world was officially introduced to Googles new mobile operating system dubbed Android.
This is a completely free operating system that has the possibility to compete with OS X (iPhone), Windows Mobile and the Palm OS in due time.

WiMAX, the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, is a telecommunications technology that provides wireless data in a variety of ways, from point-to-point links to full mobile cellular type access.
So what this means the mobile network that your current cell phone uses to surf the internet, download ringers, screen savers and music will soon be upgraded to a network that is capable of delivering true broad band (like your cable modem, dsl or work network) speeds over an extremely large area (as long ‘re you’re in coverage).
When WiMax was revealed to be the next network that Sprint planned on building for mobile broadband I told everyone (at least anyone that would listen) that Google was going to either by the WiMax network or Sprint all together.
Well Google didn’t buy Sprint nor the Wimax network but G (google) did drop a nice chunk of change towards the new company that was formed when Sprint Spun off WiMax in a partnership with Clearwire.
The reason why I feel as though this is important is because these companies that are forming & backing this technology want everyone connected at any given time in place.
The main companies investing in the Wimax Network are:
Google
Comcast
Time Warner
Intel
I know that it has been far too long since my last update and I would like to blame that squarely on faulty Seagate hard drives!
Back in November I read that the first generation MacBooks had hard drives that were starting to fail.
Since I have a first generation MB (MacBook) I decided to go and purchase a Seagate Free Agent Pro external USB hard drive to use as a back up for my MB.
