Let's Talk Tech
Happy Monday!
The FCC is still in deadlock, but that might be changing soon. Twitter is still cash flow negative. Threads engagement might be slipping. Google is losing AR talent. Sony and Microsoft sign a deal on Call of Duty. Intel is killing the NUC.
And I’ve spent a weekend with the Pixel Fold and the Pixel Tablet! Time for my COMPLETE long term review!
Let’s get our tech week started right!
Can your phone shoot CINEMATIC video? What IS “cinematic” video?
Shooting “cinematic” doesn’t mean JUST shooting 24 fps, or shooting super shallow depth of field. It means CONTROLLING the shot, and getting the view you really want. Phone cameras are getting REALLY good, but if we want to use them to shoot better content, they need a little help.
Our VERY first step? How do we control light? Continue reading “Shooting “Cinematic”? Why Phone Video at 24 FPS Usually Looks Like Garbage!”
Happy Monday!
Threads is growing like crazy, but what concerns might we have for a new social media platform from Meta? Evernote is scaling way back on staff, and moving operations to Europe. Google is looking to ditch Samsung for a future Tensor chip. Scientists believe we might have found evidence of alien intelligence here on Earth. I spent some time reviewing the Sony AX7 Portable Speaker system.
And I want to spend a little time in the SomeGadgetGuy mailbag!

Sony AX7 Review!
This speaker setup is a little different. What if you could carry home theater audio around with you any where you travel? Sony combines several new technologies to create a unique Bluetooth listening experience. I really haven’t heard anything like this before, but does that justify the price tag?

Xiaomi 13 Ultra camera CONTROVERSY!
Xiaomi advertises four different focal lengths on the 13 Ultra’s rear cameras, but ONE of those lenses might not be what Xiaomi said it was…

Happy Monday!
Valve is pushing back against AI trained on copyrighted materials. Dev’s say Apple’s Vision Pro is NOT going to be a good VR solution. Oracle is running Database on ARM chips. Google breaks my heart again, I mean kills their AR glasses again. Twitter is facing another meltdown.
And we should chat about that sexy little ZenFone 10.
Let’s get our tech week started right!
Xiaomi vs Sony! Zeiss vs Leica! Xiaomi 13 Ultra vs Sony XPERIA 1 V!
THERE IS NO WINNER!
I love both of these camera platforms, and I can’t think of two phones that both represent “mobile professional” better, but do so in such SIGNIFICANTLY different ways. Spending this much on a camera focused phone, we REALLY want to highlight how well they can specialize on the needs of specific consumers.
It’s time for a showdown! Continue reading “Xiaomi 13 Ultra VS Sony XPERIA 1 V Camera Battle!”
Happy Monday!
Facebook is going to stop supplying news in Canada. Netflix also pulls cheapest ad-free plan from Canada. Musk faces more fines in Australia over hate speech. ISPs lobby for more money from the government. Apple violated the rights of their employees interested in unionizing. Asus ROG Ally gets a proper tear down. Sony and Qualcomm continue phone partnership. Vampire Survivors gets a MAJOR update.
And can YouTube become the next game streaming platform after Stadia’s departure?
