Galaxy S10+ - Prices So High They're Insane!

This is ridiculousness: Samsung's high-end Galaxy S10 to sell for $1500. Okay, the coming Galaxy S10+ will have 12 GB of RAM and a 1 Terabyte storage internally. Those are insane numbers for a Smartphone. But, a price of $1,500 is also insane. I thought $900 for the Note 9 was insane, and waited a year before it made sense to buy one. But, $1,500? Am I insane?

WalMart Did Not Send This Email

Memo to non-English speaking Internet crooks. Hire an English speaker to write your phishing ads. The only idiots who will answer an email containing awkward diction are fellow non-English speakers. Of course, I am happy that most of you don't know how to write in colloquial English. If you want my personal information, just ask. You won't get it, but at least you will have your dignity. I received this email this morning, allegedly from WalMart "Human Resource". Note that it isn't "Human Resources" or "Human Resources Department". See how many diction and grammar errors you can find. It's fun. And, remember. The best protection against computer hackers is between your ears.

Flexible Phone Displays - The Next Big Thing?

Flexible display talk: Smartphone might fold around your wrist. Will your next smartphone wrap around your wrist like a bracelet or watch? Is the world ready for foldable phones? Just because we don't really NEED them, doesn't mean we won't be seeing them in stores. The design that I think has a great chance to catch on is the foldable phone/watch. No more worrying about staying in BlueTooth range of the phone with a smartwatch. Both occupy the same device. Of course, smartwatches now have LTE chips in them, which means the watch can operate independently of the phone. But, as long as you are willing to put a huge bracelet phone on your wrist, combining the two seems logical.

Playing Around With Ubuntu 18.04

11 Things To Do After Installing Ubuntu 18.04 LTS 'Bionic Beaver' - OMG! Ubuntu!. Linux is the operating system ordinary people never heard of, or used. However, it is the basis for Microsoft Windows and Apple's OS. Ubuntu is a front end graphical interface designed to be used by us ordinary people; and, while you can get to a Linux command line interface, and learn the commands, most of us don't want to. The newest version of Ubuntu looks even easier to use than past versions, and I have loaded it on to my previous daily driver, the Samsung 2 in 1 ATIV. Slim and light, this little notebook computer is fast and great to use. So, I will spend part of the holiday doing these 11 things with the system. Once it is tweaked and ready, I intend to explore how much real world lawyering can be done with a Linux computer. Any lawyers out there using Linux?
