Google to debut Android 2.2
The Android 2.2 rollout has finally begun, starting with Google’s flagship phone, the Nexus One.
Android 2.2, codename “FroYo,” was revealed last month at the Google I/O conference in San Francisco. It was a major leap forward for the open-source OS, featuring not only major speed upgrades, but Wi-Fi hotspot and tethering functionality, cloud-to-device integrations and Adobe Flash 10.1.

iPad too Pricey? Why not a Kindle, or a Nook!
Now that the iPad has established it is the alpha dog in the market, Amazon has slashed the price of its Kindle to $189 from $259, and Barnes & Noble’s Wi-Fi-only version of the Nook will retail for $149. Those are prices that are almost to good to pass up.
With the arrival of iOS 4, which brings Apple’s iBooks app to millions of devices, e-readers are also getting a new competitor: the...

Wax on Wax off.....

Back to basics
The idea to start this blog came from the fact we are good at our day to day operations that people rarely notice how we pride our selves on our customer service. So getting back to this theme I wanted to share an experience I recently had with our customer service guys that I felt went unnoticed.
Here at Abacus we have been embracing social media for some time now, and we have built what we...

Amazing Jobs!
Steve Jobs is an amazing man. He has changed the way we consume our media. He recently said that the development and release of the new Apple Tablet will be “The most important thing I’ve ever done”. This is mind blowing to me. It comes from a man who headed the creation of the iMac, iPod, and iPhone. These three devices have changed our WORLD, but he thinks this tablet device...

Are you a Monster?
Have you ever dropped some serious cash on expensive HDMI cables? Yeah me too. I just assumed that because the 13 year old kid with zits at Best Buy told me they were the best, and the cheaper ones sucked, that I HAD to go with the big dogs! I spent upwards of a hundred bucks on some cords that will make my picture amazingly clearer….I was wrong, and so was the 13 year old.
The truth is,...

Let's go Green, but how??
You can’t turn on the news or surf the web with out someone telling you that you need to go green. While it is a great thing to lower our carbon footprints and “Go Green” I think most of us have a hard time finding new ways to do that, for some people going green ends at simply turning off lights or putting the recycling out. There are literally thousands of ways to go green.

Customer Service in 2010
Is it just me or has customer service gotten worse in the last few years? My guess is that people differ on this. There are the people who will say it has gotten better due to the new mediums such as Twitter and Facebook, or due to the fact that these sites make you and your company more accountable because of their transparent nature. Then there are those who will say that of course it has gotten...
