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...

The Pursuit of Being Trash, with the Confederate Flag

Racial tensions have been high in the United States for awhile now, and in some areas, very similar to how they were during the 1960's Civil Rights movement. As a result, many problems have been exposed. Most recently, there was the horrible slaughtering of nine innocent churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina. This was without a doubt a horrible, racially motivated event that blatantly showed once again how far America has to go to completely eradicate racism. Not only did this show how racism is still thriving in our country, it also sparked a debate over one of this country’s most racist symbols ever made: the Confederate flag. Everyone is arguing over the flag, but what is the actual argument? Right now, the Confederate flag is flying over the South Carolina capitol building and is currently apart of many states’ flags. Even though the Confederate States of America dissolved almost 150 years ago, they still felt the need to fly the flag. There are states that do not wave...

A New Leaf

Hello everybody; it's been a while. With school, work, and my extracurricular activities, I haven't had as much time as I would have wanted to spend writing. In the two years since I've last posted, I was vice president, president, and varsity captain for my high school's Academic Decathlon team, went to the California state Academic Decathlon competition twice, was a student commissioner for my city's Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, a speech coach for Chinese students learning English, earned my Eagle Scout rank, and was accepted into my dream school, the University of California San Diego. With that in mind, I'm also about to graduate high school. I wasn't the speaker that my high school teachers were looking for as graduation speaker, but I thought it would be remiss if I did not say anything. My original speech would seem a bit out of context as an article, so this is a slightly abridged version. "Throughout my high school career, this...
