Like many other people I rely on my DVR to watch sporting events. It allows me to get up when I want and fast forward through annoying commentary and commercials. Naturally this means I do not know who won the game right as it ends because I have build up a little buffer on my DVR. Well thanks to CNN push notifications I have now learned who won the Gold Medals at the Winter Olympics, the winner of the Super Bowl and the winner of the World Series all in the minutes before I got to watch for myself.</div><div><br /></div><div>Someone reading this has to be saying "Hey idiot! Don't subscribe to push notifications." I get that, but I also like to know when things like earth quakes happen or when an important political decision has been made, and CNN push notifications are the best way I have found to get that info.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>So I plea: CNN, please give us categories to choose from for push notifications. At least give us the option to turn off sporting events. I rarely want to wait on my DVR to see who won a political election, but like many other people I love my DVR for sports. </div><div><br /></div><div>What say you?</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Protzman Technology Solutions, LLChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12607640297404899972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401508902473066624.post-3164918766299383072009-11-24T06:58:00.000-08:002009-11-24T07:10:30.787-08:00Woot giving you one more reason to check out their site every day.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtqVARpQvIWcjT7tgrbn_LQT6LK7QgK_qkKhf6GOPp5PAeofZOi-_Gy_VR509ASlKvIVErFS8iNYLADm9k2U5xWbgknpDGKu0YJA94BaXWqnwUC4uvd8ha6ATu2-f7SC8GopvGUvDow5Q/s1600/dealswoot.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 257px; height: 60px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtqVARpQvIWcjT7tgrbn_LQT6LK7QgK_qkKhf6GOPp5PAeofZOi-_Gy_VR509ASlKvIVErFS8iNYLADm9k2U5xWbgknpDGKu0YJA94BaXWqnwUC4uvd8ha6ATu2-f7SC8GopvGUvDow5Q/s320/dealswoot.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407685515314713618" /></a>Joining sites like slickdeals.net, bensbargains.net and fatwallet.com Woot is entering into the bargain shoppers network as a place to find bargains on the web.<div><br /></div><div>From <a href="http://deals.woot.com">deals.Woot.com</a>:</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Calibri, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; line-height: 14px; "><dt style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: transparent; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Calibri, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.1em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; text-align: left; line-height: 1.4em; "><a id="q2" style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: transparent; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Calibri, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><b> What is Deals.Woot?</b></a></dt><dd style="background-image: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: transparent; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Calibri, Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 20px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: normal; text-align: left; line-height: 1.6em; ">A place where wooters can share the latest intel about what’s cheap and where.

The technology side of these devices has me very excited. I have had many conversations over the last month regarding my dream e-book reader. I want color. I want touch screen. I want wireless content delivery. After looking over Crunch Gear's <a href="http://protzmantech.blogspot.com/2009/09/compare-e-book-readers-via-crunchgear.html">e-book reader comparison chart</a> it was clear a winner has not arrived. <div><br /></div><div>Fast forward a few weeks to a meeting I was in last night. Like any good meeting attendee I stared down at my iPhone seeking an escape from reality. My latest escape comes in the form of "cheap" apps from the iPhone App store. As I was digging around I came across Kindle for iPhone. Have I had my dream e-book reader in my pocket for every one of the dream e-book conversations I have had? I spend no less than 2 hours per day reading news, tweets and emails this way. Can I read a book like this? </div><div><br /></div><div>I loaded up a couple of free books from the Kindle store.

We thought there should be a better way to connect to the right person than using those dreaded touch-tone menus. We thought there should be an easier way to keep track of those calls and give feedback. Turns out, companies are just as frustrated as consumers with the limitations of the current technology! So we created a system that helps <em>both </em>sides of the equation by painlessly bringing existing phone menus into the 21st century." - <a href="http://www.fonolo.com/">http://fonolo.com/</a>Protzman Technology Solutions, LLChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12607640297404899972noreply@blogger.com0
