Verizon iPhone 4

Verizon iPhone 4 - Outside of Verizon, Apple, and the companies that manufacture it, nearly every other player in the U.S. mobile industry will be hurt by the launch of the Verizon iPhone 4. Other carriers will lose current and potential subscribers. Other manufacturers will lose hardware sales. And other smartphone operating system controllers will lose potential app and/or advertising revenue. But don’t expect any of them to cry “uncle” even as the Verizon iPhone 4 begins to inflict pain marketwide. None of these companies are going out of business over the Verizon iPhone, although you might want to be careful about owning any shares of stock of at least some of them for awhile:

Verizon iPhone 4

AT&T: The carrier is growing, and that growth is due to the iPhone. The launch of the Verizon iPhone 4 will do more to slow the trail of new customers to AT&T’s doorstep than it will to cause existing customers to leave, at least in the first two years where contracts will be in play. AT&T is already attempting to prominently add every other also-ran smartphone possible to its lineup, because it worked so well when Microsoft tried to round up all the losers to compete with the iPod back in the day. Expect AT&T to be visibly gashed in terms of growth. But mainly because U.S. cellphone carriers are a legalized fully colluded oligarchy who have no rules to follow and no standards to live up to, these glorified tower-builders are essentially printing money even when they’re “struggling” in comparison to the other carriers.

Google: The Verizon iPhone 4 will hit Android marketshare the hardest in terms of hardware. And since Google says it is making money from Android, that means it’ll be making less money from the platform once the Verizon iPhone lands. But Google’s Android ad revenue is a mere rounding error in comparison to the company’s overall revenue structure. So while the expected major dropoff in Android sales during the Verizon iPhone 4 era may be embarrassing for Google, don’t expect it to tangibly hurt the company in any real way.

Kinect Review

Kinect Review - First presented to the world as Project Natal at E3 2009, Microsoft's Kinect sensor peripheral has since been positioned by the software (and hardware) giant as the next phase of Xbox 360's evolution as a platform. A combination of hardware and software, it's been billed as a means for users to interact with their consoles and play games without using a physical controller, using natural gestures, voice commands and face recognition. I've had a final retail Kinect unit at home for a little over a week now, and have had ample time to put the shiny new gadget through its paces. Is it as magical as expected? Will it transform gaming? Or, more importantly, does it even work? Read on past the break for my in-depth review of this ambitious apparatus. Kinect is a single piece of hardware, yet it incorporates several distinct technologies. There's an infrared emitter that floods your play space with invisible light, paired with a CMOS sensor that then l...

Best Indoor Exercise

Best Indoor Exercise - There are several indoor exercises you can do to keep in shape. But which are the best? They can be split in to two categories. The first is body weight exercises, meaning you use your own body weight to provide resistance. The second is using some sort of equipment. There are pros and cons to both. The biggest advantage to doing body weight exercises is they can be done anywhere. Whether you're on holiday, travelling for work, or if you just want a quick exercises to do. There are quite a few body weight exercises that can be done. If you wish to work out your abdominal muscles, sit ups or crunches are a good one. Doing pull ups on a door frame will work out your lats and back. Squatting with just your body weight will work out your thighs and calves. There are also indoor exercise machines by the hundreds. There's the traditional treadmill and exercise bikes which can be used indoors. Resistance bands and free-weights are also good ones for indoo...
