The Secret World New Video

So many teasers of the Secret World, so long to wait. When it hits the shelves I'm all over it. What class are you going to play?

G-slate coming to T-mobile April 20th

It's speculated that the G-Slate will be released on April 20th. Who's going to be in line for this device?

I'm going to break down and get it when it's released and trade in my Galaxy Tab. My mouth just waters looking at the video. I was going to hold out for a quad core processor but being a techie I need the latest and greatest.

Art Institute of Vancouver one of the Top Ten Video Game Design College

According to Princeton Review & GamePro Media, The Art Institute of Vancouver, BC, Canada is listed as one of the Top Ten Video Game Design College. As a matter of fact they came in at number 4. The list started out with 150 colleges in the US and Canada and they whittled it down to 10 based upon a set of criteria the college must meet. I'm not going to go into all the detail on how they made it into the top ten but let's just say the competition was fierce and the criteria was intense.

If you want to see the list of schools that made the top ten then head on over to GamePro Magazine.

Kingston Technology Revenue = $6.5 Billion in 2010

Now I know you have heard of Kingston Technology. If you have not you probably have been living under a rock. Looking at the numbers they must be doing something right to have that type of revenue. According to the press release "the $2.4 billion increase in sales over 2009 was attributed primarily to a rise in average selling price (ASP) and increased shipment volume."

Increasing the cost of the product would be one of the major factors, especial if the demand is present. Great Product + Great Marketing = Demanding Customers = Company Meeting the Demand = Satisfied Customers = Increased Sales = Small Justified Price Increase = Increased Revenue.

It's a numbers game people and timing is everything!

Will Sprint buy T-Mobile USA?

It's been the buzz in the tech world and it's all over the news. Will Sprint buy out T-mobile USA? I sure hope not! For the longest Sprint and Deutsche Telekom (T-Mobile) have been in talks so it's hard to say if it will happen. Today Sprint's stocks have risen 5% at the news of the buy out.

Let's face it, both companies have problems. T-Mobile has a marketing problem and not so great a selection of phones. I must say that I am loyal customer of T-Mobile. Some people are calling this a win situation. I'm calling it a fail situation. Two struggling companies coming together equals one big struggling company with plenty of resources to fail.

Why am I saying that the merger will fail? Let's look at the track record. T-Mobile's 4th quarter sales where down. The Phones T-Mobile offers suck. They both have problems attracting new customer and combining the two current marketing departments would fail. They need new blood that understands the market. Not only understands the market but listens to the customers. Sprint fails and T-Mobile struggles with this.

3 years ago I had Sprint and I left them for T-Mobile. I hate Sprint with a passion. Here is a list of why I hate Sprint:

• Customer Service Sucks!
• Pricing/Data Plan Sucks!
• Phone Selection Sucks!
• Company as a Whole Sucks!
  

What can T-Mobile USA do to attract new customers? How can they improve their marketing? I don't have the answers.

Ok, so if they merge what will the name be? Will they continue to call the company Sprint? or will they change the name. Let's have some fun with this... Trint Mobile? SpriT Mobile? Tnt Mobile? Or how about a new name... SpurT Mobile?

One thing I do know is that if Sprint buys out T-Mobile USA I will be taking my family plan and my 4 phones over to Verizon!
