Imagine what the Golf/Sporting industry would’ve been like if Tiger Woods didn’t have text messaging? Or how about text messaging that “self destructs”?

That’s right… the folks over at X Sigma have used the Tiger Woods example as an opportunity to scrap together something totally sweet. They’ll allow you to send a text message that will automatically delete itself on both the sender’s and recipient’s phones after a pre-determined period of time.

So let’s go in to detail. You want to send a booty call SMS to your mistress while your wife is away on business. You “tigertext” her with a message kill time of 3 days. She gets the message, comes over, you have your fun and then the text will automatically be deleted from her phone as well as YOUR phone after 3 days.

Go get em tiger, get em tiger, get get get em tiger.

One word… WOW.  There will be quite a handful of prestigious car tuners at the Geneva Auto Show this year, but this Porsche Panamera stood out to me. This CLR 700 GT puts down 691 hp and is based on the turbo Panamera engine.

IBM is trying to dip their pen in to just about everyone’s ink now a days! Not necessarily a bad thing of course. They’ve announced that they will be conducting studies to virtually “eliminate” automotive traffice. They’ll be using advanced analytics engines to build personalized travel routes for commuters.  Naturally the routes will adapt depending on driving volume, time of day, route history, etc.

I’m not too sure if they’ve heard about it, but two words IBM… Google Maps.

We spoke about AT&T’s MicroCell appearances in Charlotte, NC a few months ago but things have changed for the better. Initially it was supposed to be a fairly inexpensive device “up front” but there was going to be a monthly surcharge for usage.

Now the MicroCell is available in five different markets:

• Georgia
• North Carolina
• South Carolina
• San Diego
• Las Vegas

AT&T is hoping to get this in to everyone’s hands for around $150 and NO monthly fees. NICE! If you have no idea what I’m talking about…… you take the MicroCell, connect it to your broadband router and it will automatically boost your AT&T network signal strength significantly. Great if you live in a deadspot or if you have thick cement and steel walls that don’t allow the signal to penetrate.

Now it all makes sense. Just when I was beginning to feel dissapointed about V-moda not delivering, I just found out about the new V-moda Remix earbuds. Boy do they look sweeeet as heck!

The headphones are a totally new design and have drivers optimized for bass and clarity. The remote control is built on to the cord and will allow iPhone 3GS users to make/recieve calls, adjust volume and change tracks. The buds feature 9mm V-MASQUE neodymium units(wow!) and have a “Beat-Port” airflow system to improve the soundstage. I’m totally blown away. Best of all, you can buy them at the Apple Store right now for $99.99! They’ll be available online in March.

I’m running straight to the Apple store……literally.

O2 has announced that they’re going to offer a “SIM-only” service for existing iPhone owners who feel that Vodafone and Orange are not cutting it. What does this mean? It’s simple… if you HATE your network provider(Vodafone or Orange), you could simply take a stroll over to an O2 store and have your pre-existing iPhone working on their network in minutes. Luckily their “SIM only” option will allow you to use your Visual Voicemail, unlimited SMS, data and Wi-Fi starting at £15 per month. Not Bad at all!

Don’t get me wrong, I still feel that V-Moda makes a phenomenal product, but it seems like Apple is pulling them off their brick and mortar shelves. Not too sure why, but it time to start looking elsewhere should I ever run in to an emergency. We all know that Bose ear buds(as well as ANY of their products) suck @$$, so here is my proposal.

Should your beloved V-Modas(or sennheiser, etymotic research, shure, etc) fail, the Klipsh Image S4i is a STRONG BUY.

For $100(retail) you’ll get yourself phenomenal sound quality for your buck and they’re very comfortable to boot.  Klipsch is even kind enough to include a storage box and cleaning tools. What I really like about this particular set is that it has call answer, ipod playback and volume controls right on the cord! Nice!

Don’t forget that the cord should be managed using the handy ID badge clip we posted a few days ago. Remember, V-Moda… I still love you, but my warranty has run dry and should something happen….I’ll have no choice.

You guys asked for it, so I’ve decided to deliver. The real honest truth here is that I don’t “blog” for the money, I do it because I like to regurgitate ideas to the world using  a simple easy to use interface.

So here you guys go! No more annoying pop ups with scripts running in the background, just pure unadulterated blog!

Mac Rumours has released a few photos of the iPad Keyboard Dock which is looking to be quite promising….. but have you noticed the blank key on the top row right above the number “6″? What is it for? Is it something customizable? Is it a “hot dock” button? Is it a “home” button? Who knows, but the person who posts a comment and is right will win a ridiculously cool Tee Shirt from the Premium Skurban Designer, Moral Fabrix. Check them out @ Moral Fabrix/Black Diamond Skateboards!

If you’ve built yourself a machine and are trying hard to avoid pirated software, Nero has a nice option for you!  They are offering you a “basic” optical media burning software which will allow you to burn and copy discs….. FOR FREE! Download Nero Lite 9 now!

The file is 32MB, which shouldn’t be too bad for most of you.

So if you’re tired of putting on your reading glasses everytime you want to goof off with your Nintendo DS, it’s time to grab yourself a DSi XL. Nintendo has announced that the new device with a larger screen on March 28th. If you’re confused, this is the exact same device as the DSi LL in other countries.

The screen on this model is 93% larger than the DS Lite, with a wider viewing angle. Expect this unit to sell for $190 with Burgundy and Bronze color options(WTF?). It will also be pre-loaded with a few games, such as Brain Age Express: Arts & Letters, Brain Age Express: Math and Photo Clock.

So you’ve been striving for perfection, but the only thing slowing you down is your slow hard drive that you cheaped out on. No problem, if you’re ready to shell out $800 for Crucial’s 256GB C300, you are in luck. This hard drive will definitely boost your “Windows Experience” rating past 5.9 that you’re getting with your 10,000RPM drives.

If $800 isn’t quite in your budget, no problem! Crucial also has a 128GB version for ONLY $499.\

Someone over at Samsung got a bit too excited and let a few 3D HDTV’s loose a month or so too early. Amazon and Sears both are carrying the UN55C7000 and the UN46C7000 models and they’re both available for immediate delivery!

The UN46C7000is available for $2599.99 and the UN55C7000 is $3299.99. If you’ve been waiting around to buy a TV…this is the one to get. If you haven’t been able to figure it out, the cheaper one is for a 46 incher, and the more expensive one is for a 55.

According to a recent study, AT&T has stepped up their game in several major cities over the past 8 months. The chart above speaks for itself…. I don’t buy it

An insider has spilled the beans about LG’s upcoming HDTV lineup, which includes the 3D LX9500 television which is expected to ship mid May.  There will also be a more affordable version called the LX6500 which will also support 3D.  In order to take advantage of the three dimensional capabilities, they will also give you the option of purchasing their BD580 Blu-Ray player and active shutter glasses which are expected to be available sometime this April.

Another cool feature to look out for is the 720HD Skype camera option, which will turn some LG sets in to video VoIP stations, also expected to show up in May. If 3D doesn’t interest you, how about a .27 inch thick LED backlight display that will support 480Hz with sizes as large as 72inches?
