Changes


It has been over a year since we first started Mobile Tech Note. We have seen many new advances in mobile technology such as Windows 8, Windows Phone 8, Android Jelly Bean, quad-core processors, and 1080p displays. Laptops have gotten even thinner, faster, crazy high-resolution displays, and they can flip and twist in all sorts of ways. To those of you that have been with us this whole year, thank you very much. If you are reading for the first time, welcome. We have some news for you.


We will admit, or website did not look very good. It wasn't elegant, smooth, or pleasant to look at. It had a dated design, even though we found it during many design changes. We know that some of you out there like our writing and regularly read our articles, so we decided to update our website's look. Now our website has a brand-new flat design. The rounded green buttons looked bland so we turned them into flat, transparent black buttons with green wording. This transparent look adds a little more complexity to our regular news. We wanted to keep our grey background, but make it more complex than solid grey. To make it more interesting, we added a grey cube background to sit under the posts. Our font color has changed from standard black to white, to stand out more from our predominately black and grey website. We refreshed our website's look to make it look modern, and to benefit you the reader. You should be able to have your cake and eat it too.

There have been many advances in consumer electronics over the past year, but we have only covered the news in mobile electronics. Even though laptops, tablets, and smartphones can be very interesting, we felt that we were missing out on covering some of the latest news in technology. Having our website geared towards mobile electronics also made us miss out on reporting the latest news in science culture, nerd culture, and people culture. We are now opening our news coverage past mobile technology to include all of technology, science culture, nerd culture, and people culture. We will also bring you more editorials to show you our opinions on the latest issues. To show you what electronics we choose to buy ourselves, we will also be writing articles about what we carry and use every day. Since our news coverage will be covering more than mobile technology, we felt that Mobile Tech Note was not a good name for our site. Mobile Tech Note will be changing to Tech & Co. soon, and our URL will be changing to techandcompany.blogspot.com just as soon. Don't worry if you still find yourself going to mobiletechnote.blogspot.com after our change. We will be re-creating our old version of Mobile Tech Note on a new blog, and put links that refer you to our current blog all over the place. So stay tuned for our new coverage, and our new types of articles.

Technology is a very complicated thing. There are all sorts of numbers, terms, and different names flying around. Tech savvy people will keep up on all of this and know it by heart (like we do), and they will always know what they want. The rest of the world is not like this. Everyone else will probably not know the differences between everything, and why they should pick this over that. We realize that some of you might have questions about technology, so we have decided to start a new kind of article called "Ask Tech and Co.". You can email us at techandco@outlook.com, or tweet at us on Twitter @Beatlesunion if you have any questions for us. We will answer your questions as posts on our website, and we will respond to you when they are done. Hopefully, this will help you make the right choices in the technology world.

Those are some of the many new things to come to our blog. We saw some of the areas that we could improve, and so we sought out to fix them. Our goal is to provide you with the best coverage of technology, technology culture, nerd culture, and people culture that we are physically able to. To those of you that have been with us this whole year, thank you so much. To those of you that are reading for the first time, welcome and stay tuned for great new stories.

Review: The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water

It's 7:15 at night. The sun has been below the horizon for quite some time, but it is not yet my bedtime. I go to the cashier and ask her if they are showing my movie. She gives me a puzzled look, checks the queue, and luckily finds the tickets I am looking for. After asking my age she assures me that I have nothing to be ashamed about, nothing to fear. I then pass through the doors and embark on a journey I have been waiting for more than a decade to begin. Back in 2004 Nickelodeon, Stephen Hillenburg, & company released the very first feature film of the SpongeBob Squarepants franchise: The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie . The cartoon had been around for less than five years at the time, and many people did not expect much from its box office release. However, it did do very well for a television cartoon movie grossing more than $32 million opening weekend and receiving average scores of 66/100. This might sound mediocre compared to Oscar winning films, but this is incredib

Qualcomm debuts Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 processor

Earlier today, Qualcomm unveiled their new Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 processor on their developer tablet in San Francisco. This processor is the successor to the S4 processor that we see on many of today's flagship mobile devices (ex. HTC One X, American Samsung Galaxy S III's, HTC One S, Motorola Atrix HD, etc.), and is one of the greatest mobile chipsets on the market. Based on the scores we have seen from  Engadget , this new processor seems amazingly  fast. This new processor blows away the competition and beats every other mobile device you could imagine in every single benchmark category. This processor is like a Bugatti Veyron drag racing against a Smart Car. We can not explain how much faster this device is compared to the devices that are out right now. This new processor leaves every single top mobile product in the dust. The Snapdragon S4 Pro beats the AT&T HTC One X, all of the Samsung Galaxy S III's, the Nexus 7, the international HTC One X, and probably

Hands-On with the new Macbook: Too Hot

Hot damn. Apple just recently added a new laptop to their lineup. No it is not just an iterative spec update, but rather Apple positions this as the laptop of the future. Well, the future of now. They say your next laptop will be like this, and maybe even the one after that. The company wowed the world with the MacBook Air back in 2008, but can they do it again with the new MacBook? Most of you will hear "MacBook" and a few different laptops will pop into your head. There's the current MacBook Pros, MacBook Air, and then the old black and white plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2011. The 2015 MacBook is an entirely new beast. Apple is not pushing the boundaries on what a laptop is supposed to be, but they are pushing the limits in many other areas. The new MacBook comes in three colors: space grey, silver, and gold. The space grey looks exactly like the space grey on the iPhone, and the silver model is identical to the MacBook Air. But if you pick
