iCloud Photostream and DSLRs don’t seem to be a... →
I’m trying to find a smooth workflow between cameras, computer, and iOS. I was hoping iCloud’s Photostream might help with this, but I didn’t know how well it would handle the loads of images I take with my digital camera. This helps the answer my question somewhat. In short, it doesn’t help very much since the Photostream copies all of the most recent photos and...

AirPlay Mirroring, TV Out, and the Apple TV →
I have to say, that AirPlay mirroring is probably the more interesting new feature in iOS5. If they could use a more standard protocol or get TV manufacturers to include AirPlay support directly in TVs, it would be an incredible business tool. A dual-screen setup with the presentation on the big display, incoming participant questions on the iPad along with presenter notes. So many...

LYTRO - click anywhere on the picture, I dare you.
Three weeks ago I read an article on mashable.com about a revolutionary new camera called the LYTRO that requires no focusing whatsoever. In fact, believe it or not, all focusing can be done after the picture is taken. James and I, ever the early adopters, immediately reached out to the company producing the camera and said we would...

Editorial: Netflix was too cheap before, but now... →
This comprehensive article on the Netflix price increase from Engadget has helped my cool down a little and may have convinced me to not cancel my subscription.
Why is Netflix doing this? Because that streaming content isn’t cheap and, as more people watch, those licensing fees are only going to get higher. And that’s just the beginning: if Netflix is hustling more data than anybody...

Easy airport parking with Fast Park
If you need to park your car at the Austin airport, I highly recommend using Fast Park. I just used the for the first time this past weekend. I had been using the long term parking at the airport until they ticked me off by closing all of the close in lots despite dozens of empty spaces. While I do enjoy the walk from lot F, Fast Park has a lot of perks:
Comparable pricing to the cheapest...

This free iPad app lets your browse through movie and TV titles that can be played on the iPad. The UI is pretty nice, but kind of jerky on the iPad 1, so it can be frustrating to get to similar titles (swipe 5 times!). Definitely worth checking out.

Google Reader stops adding FeedBurner tracking URL
Clicking on a link within Google Reader used to add a lot of tracking text to the end of the URL, so that every link had something like this appended:
“utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+techiebuzz+%28Techie+buzz%29”
This made for a lot of ugly links, especially when trying to reference sources. Not sure why this is gone, but it’s nice you no...
