Hello folks and welcome to another edition of Tuesday Tech Talk. Several things to cover this week so lets get right into it.
That is the buzz about Google Buzz
Interesting read here on all things Google Buzz by the NY Times Gadgetwise blog. If you haven’t got into Google Buzz or are a newcomer to it, then this will explain a lot of what it can do. As you may have ready previously here, they are having issues with privacy control they are trying to resolve.
Quicken Essentials for Mac
When Intuit purchased Mint.com, they also brought aboard it’s founder Aaron Patzer who is directly overseeing Intuit’s latest Mac offering Quicken Essentials for Mac which comes out on Thursday. Our friends over at TUAW had a Q&A with Aaron and what to expect in Quicken Essentials for Mac. After reading this article I am not as cynical on Quicken as I was. Check it out, it’s a great read. I have gone ahead and pre-ordered a copy.
Best Buy expecting new Apple products in March?
More speculation on Apple hardware updates coming. It is around this time they usually revise the laptop hardware.
iPad pre-orders this week?
AppAdvice claims that pre-orders for the iPad will begin on Thursday. We shall see.
U-Socket
Alex Lindsay of Pixel Corps and MacBreak videocast, featured this product last week. It’s a standard wall outlet with one exception, it provides 2 USB ports on the sides.
On that note, that is going to do it for another edition of Triple T. See you all next week!

Tuesday Tech Talk #33
Hello folks and welcome to another edition of Triple T. Let’s see what is happening this week.
Google Buzz
Google unveiled their social networking feature called Buzz. Basically it works from within Gmail and pulls your contacts as users to add...and there in lies the problem of security concerns which forced them to quickly back pedal on features. My early reaction to it is this, uh this looks like FriendFeed! I mean this is hardly a Facebook killer and no one is going to abandon Facebook for Buzz. Clearly this is a beta network and far from ready for prime time. But I do like how I get alerts from within Gmail. Let’s see if they can get the bugs worked out.
More notes about the iPad
Apple is said to be using FairPlay DRM on the eBooks for the iPad. Also it looks as if AT&T may carry the iPad WiFi+3G model in its stores. Also Unplggd has a story on cases for the iPad. Hat tip to Evan Agee for the link.
USB 3.0
The first USB 3.0 hub is hitting the market. More info about USB 3.0 can be found here. Yes the hub is backwards compatible to both USB 1.1 and 2.0.
iMac catches fire, still works
WOW! What a story here. The iMac was still functional after a fire.
The Sausage Stylus
Interesting article here, my friend Jeremy Holley mentioned this to me in passing when we were discussing stylus for an iPad.
DirecTV taking Dish to court
DirecTV is taking Dish Network to court accusing them of false advertising in the wake of their “man on the street” interview ad. This ought to be good!
This Week’s iPhone/iPod touch apps
NBC Olympics - If you are a follower of the Olympic games then you will like this app. Keeps you posted on the medal count and the schedule of events for the day.
Well that is going to do it for this weeks Triple T. See you all next week!
