Samsung’s New Ace Plus.... Deja Vu

Recently seen on Wired.com (source: http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/01/samsungs-new-ace-plus-looks-curiously-familiar/) the new samsung ace plus or iphone 3g lookalike. I leave the deciding to you. All I can say personally after reviewing it myself. If it works why not just go with it. The iphone feel is world known and accepted due to its ease of a touch screen and one simple button. I also do feel that the lack of originality that Samsung had with this product is very depressing from such a well known company for innovative ideas and design. I guess all we can do is wait and see if there will be suit by apple or if samsung wins this round.

Nginx Nginx Nginx!

Nginx appeared in 2004 light open source server whose growing user numbers seems to pose a challenge to the all mighty Microsoft IIS. Nginx boasts powering 12.18 percent of the worlds active websites.

The popularity behind Nginx is its lightweight and versatile appeal, even when compared to apache which powers over 57 percent of the world's active websites.

So keep on the look out for more from Nginx because they are here to stay.

Speaker and stand

Recently released was the Ipad stand with Bluetooth speaker as reviewed by wired.com (source:http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/01/cute-bluetooth-speaker-doubles-as-a-kitchen-stand/)

It comes with rechargeable li-ion battery and allows the iPad to work in landscape or portrait mode and overall seems like a novel idea. Most stands I find force you to use landscape or use portrait and even though this speaker is roughly $100. I feel its a great investment for it's ease of use and also its functionality.
