Yahoo has started to roll out summaries produced by Summly in its mobile app for IOS.  We aren’t impressed.  Granted we are biased, we have strong ties to Stremor, the makers of TLDRStuff.com, which is an alternative to Summly.  8 guys in the desert should be no match for the great and powerful SRI International, the creators of SIRI and the real brains behind Summly’s tech.  We expected Stremor to get crushed.  We knew what we expected to see when a 20 year history of language processing and hundreds of millions of dollars of research went up against a few guys without degrees in English, Linguistics, or MBA’s.  We expected it to be brutal. In that, we were right, but in this case David beat Goliath.

We compiled a few screenshots of the summarized feeds from Yahoo and placed the same links through the TLDR Plugin. Here are the results side by side, so you can make your own assessment.

DJI Innovations is no stranger to high end remote controlled helicopters and drones.  Their S800 (Spreading Wings) Hexacopter has been a favorite choice among serious hobbyists.  I happen to own the S800 with the Wookong-M autopilot system and while I love it… it is incredibly difficult for a new user to setup.  You practically need a PhD to figure out the ESL manual, assemble the beast, and then tune it for flight.  Things just got a bit simpler for new users who want to enter the multi-rotor GPS enabled space thanks to the Phantom.  Read on for the DJI Phantom Review…

Samsung Series 5 UltraTouch Review.  Start off with the Samsung Series 5 Ultrabook and add a touchscreen that has Corning Gorilla Glass.  This means that the screen should have no problem dealing with all of the finger pokes and more.  The only main reason for the touchscreen addition is to make the few users of Windows 8 feel like they are getting their monies worth.  Read on for more details…

I’ve had my 13-inch notebook for a long while now and just never bothered to buy a sleeve or a notebook bag.  A couple of weeks ago friend had asked me to give the EC-BC K7 Poseidon Messenger Bag (black) a go.  So I did.

Well, I’ve had my Tesla Model S (85kWh performance) for about four days now and wanted to post my experience to date.  First off, let me say that I love the car and see much promise in the brand and the technology.  Tesla, and Elon Musk, started from scratch with the Model S and have accomplished some amazing things in a relatively short period of time.  Considering the big brands (think Toyota, Ford, etc.) have built up so much knowledge about every aspect of the industry from creating a user interface to building customer relations to the creation of manufacturing, delivery, and sales infrastructures, they are getting outmaneuvered in a big way by Tesla and the Model S.  Kudos to Tesla for this!

Now on to the important bits… let me start off with some of the not-so-shiny aspects of the Tesla Model S experience and I will finish with the things I love (very much).  Keep in mind that I will be updating as I learn more and open issues are resolved.  Read on.
