Motorola Has a New Logo

Motorola Reskined

Motorola has changed their logo, and about time as Google has had possession of the company for quite a bit of time. This could be a way of Google renewing the once-top brand and making Motorola recognized once more. This may mean that a new phone or new line of phones could be coming from Motorola in the next few years.

Windows 8.1 Thoughts and Review

      No comments 

Windows 8.1 Review will be arriving soon and I hope it looks as good as it did i the //BUILD conference. Now I have backed up my PC I am hoping that this preview will be nice and screenshots and a review will be written on this post soon!

Windows 8.1 Review

I love the new interface and all of its polished features, and now have completely explored almost all of the new snap features (which I love!) and now can say Windows 8 is ready to become a real, finished working Windows version. It is the 7 to vista. Now I have taken a few screenshots and I have to give this update a 4.5/5 because I would've liked more options on how the start button behaves.

My Start Screen on Windows 8.1
Daft Punk in the new Search App
Calculator New App
New Snap half-n-half feature
Bind Food & Drink New App

New PC Settings App


Where to Buy:
Free for Windows 8 Users and evaluation for non-8 Users

Ready Player One Review

      No comments 

Ready Player One was a good book about the year 2044 with a virtual world called the "OASIS" and the tale of a kid who only wanted to escape the reality he had to face by leaving it behind to learn the secrets and treasures found in the OASIS. This book was well written and had me thinking whenever what the world had come to, and how loss had destroyed the human race.

Dell Wireless Touchpad Review

      No comments 
The Dell Wireless Touchpad as shown on Dell
The Dell™ Wireless Touchpad (TP713) ships with a box and a starter guide. The touch pad is wrapped and a USB dongle ships alongside it. Now when you plug the USB into a PC or Mac, the touch pad with automatically install and function with gesture control (more for Windows 8 though) and has very few issues. I would give this a 3.5/5 stars and would recommend it to a casual user, as I found it tough to use with real programs and functionality other than in the Windows modern interface.

iMac Mobile Kickstand

      No comments 

The iMac Mobile concept uses the back plate as a kickstand, (similar to a Surface) and would have a small metal plate on the front (for space to use USB, lightning, and even Ethernet ports.) and allow a (yet soft) brushed metal area to rest your wrists. The tablet is shown as an 18" tablet above (like the Dell XPS 18) and would be pushed for desktop users. The iMac made portable is similar to the iBook motto of 2000 and further more, and this would redefine the definition. Now if you'd like to see the orginal concept to see more of an iMac Mobile, check out the post here.

StormFly Review

      2 comments 

StormFly is a product of Now Computing comes with a 1-year warranty (for the first to fly batch that is) and a 16/32 GB model of their portable-USB-wristband, (as I had recieved the 16 GB black edition) and comes in orange and black (16 GB and 32 GB) and an exclusive first-to-fly green (32 GB) edition. The kickstarter edition comes with "first to fly" printed on the back, in a nice looking modern typographic way. The box includes a quick set-up, warranty details, and a StormFly sticker. 



For what the product advertised, I will be giving it a 5/5. It runs Ubuntu great on even the low-end setups I have tested it on and its custom pieces help updates go fast and it setup in almost 5 minutes. This works beautifully and runs on almost anything, and I recommend snatching one yourself when they launch soon!

Macbook Air Tab

      No comments 
MacBook Air (Tablet)

I looked over the original sketches of a Mac Mobile, and thought that there would have to be some kind of cheaper, but still versatile edition of a Mac Tablet. This would feature the same Mag 2 charger but with one USB 3.0 on the opposing side and one lightning port as well. The battery life would be a bit larger but the screen would be 10" to 13" as the Mac Mobile could be 11" to 15". That could make the market a bit better for children and college students.

Comment and share if you'd like to see more, and what else should a Mac tablet have?
More designs soon, and keep subscribing to Fitzsimmons Weekly.

Mac Mobile

      1 comment 
Welcome to the first post of Fitzsimmons Weekly, and here I'm going to be showing you a concept of a new Mac idea I had thought up. A "Mac Mobile" would let the iPad users and Mac users have a bit more simplicity with their products and take out the need for the two devices. The idea behind it was to explain how Mac OS X Mavericks could function on a mobile device that could be a stand-alone tablet.



The Apple on the front of the Mac Mobile would function as a "home button" because if you were to tap it, the desktop would show. (you could arrange it to send you to a number of different places within OS X if you'd like)

The back and side of the Mac Mobile resembles a sort of iPad Mini / iPhone look and comes with 4 USB 3.0 ports, 2 lightning, and one ethernet. A Mag 2 connector allows charging and docking from the tablet. The gray plate at the bottom will extend to work as a kickstand on the go. The overview shows that the Bluetooth 4.0 keyboard works with the Mac Mobile and acts as a Matte Black backlit keyboard.
