VexedTech http://vexedtech.com cranky techies speak out Wed, 03 Feb 2010 06:22:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 en hourly 1 VexedTech is a podcast about things in tech--current or past, consumer electronics or computers--that cause cranky, frustrated techies to pull what is left of their hair out. Our core trio discusses current tech news, offers up solutions to "vexes" while ranting and raving about Windows, Mac, iPhone, Linux, software, peripherals, gadgets and other stuff. Our panel features a graphic designer, an aging techie and a young iPhone junkie--all with a wide breadth of knowledge about tech and the industry. We often invite interesting guests (sometimes famous); luminaries include Daniel Brusilovsky, Victor Cajiao and Don McAllister. Join us, won't you?

We wish you all a Happy New Year!  We have certainly appreciated your support and contributions over the last year or so.  The VexedTech team is committed to offering our crankiness on a regular basis, so watch you freed for the next episode, coming soon!

From sickness, work/time conflicts to crashed hard-drives and no bandwidth, all three of us have not been able to get together to record our regular weekly show.  We sincerely apologize for neglecting you, our valued listeners, from our (hopefully) entertaining rants and raves, weekly.

As a result of these issues, we have re-evaluated our show.  We’ve concluded what works and what doesn’t work.  We’ve analyzed the importance of certain elements of the show and how important they are to listeners.  We’ve spoken with some of you and that feedback has been invaluable.

So our new deal is this:

  • Now Bi-Monthly: VexedTech will be released twice per month
  • Schedule: we’re dropping our regular weekly schedule for recording.  We will attempt to record on Wednesdays, as we do now, but we’ve decided to loosely stick to that.
  • Live Streaming: we will cease to do a regular live streaming show, per our new non-scheduled episodes, however we may spring a live-show on you, so watch our twitter feed at twitter.com/vexedtech.

We sincerely appreciate all of your support and feedback.  We look forward to many more episodes of the show.

This is what I’ve been waiting for. NOW my iPhone has some value! I have the NBA in my pocket (insert Dr. Evil laugh). This app snuck up on me as I didn’t think the network or hardware was ready for it yet. Being curious, I looked up this app online to read any articles on it and so far positive, sort of. 

The articles don’t really critique the app. It lists what it can and can’t do. So, I went to the apple app store and looked up some reviews. Not surprised at what I saw, there was a slew of 1 star ratings with a few 5 stars (hmm…). Obviously, I payed attention to the 1 star ratings. 

live_VODstats2

The main gripe of the bad reviews were that it plays fine for the 1st 15 minutes then gets so unbearably slow that people just turn it off. The other complaint is that local games are blacked out. My personal vex is that this app cost is in addition to the NBA league pass you already subscribe to, no discount!

It’s supposed to work over WI-FI and 3G. I read where people were switching to 3G when WI-FI crapped out in order to continue watching. 

The App costs $40 and there is no trial period, which is one of my earlier vexes in a past podcast. I think apps over $10 should allow you to try it out.

So thats it, this app vexes me and I haven’t even used it. This proves that the review system really has some value. This would have been a waste had I forked over the $40, yet I still want to try it. Hmm…Does Apple issue refunds?
