[Feature] Silicon Theories - March Edition

This was a busy week in the tech world...and I've got a few thoughts to share with you on all of it. There's something new from Google, something(s) new from Apple, and some old thoughts on what Android tablets mean to the world of mobile computing. Ready to dive in? Let's get to it!

[Feature] I love tech: Pocketcasts

I spend a lot of time in my car.  And I need something to take my thoughts off the mind numbingly boring drive I have to make every day...so naturally, I turned to podcasts.  Not only do I host and produce a podcast for Silicon Theory, but I do enjoy and listen to others as well.  I originally got into the format using my loaner iPhone and though the podcasts app for iOS is fine, its not nearly as robust and fully featured as you might expect in a product from Apple.  So I went on the search for something that would 1) work on the Android platform 2) have a few more perks than what I'd been using.  And after a bit of searching (and lurking on message boards in various places) I came across the app Pocketcasts.  And I couldn't be happier I did.

[Special Feature] Silicon Theories - February Edition

At long last, here is this month's edition of some of my tech thoughts served up as the Silicon Theories...

*What is net neutrality and why should it be important to everyone

Most people will never know who the chairman of the Federal Communications Committee is, or even what the FCC actually does.  But something that has come up with the recent changeover in administration is the subject of net neutrality, and what it's impact on consumer choice in wired and wireless services is.  First, to see what the whole deal is about, check out this Daily Dot article describing what Title II is and how it was interpreted by the previous chairman of the FCC to apply to broadband wireless companies, and this ArsTechnica article about the discussion in court which Tom Wheeler fought over and won.
