Are the Falcons for real???




So...Monday Night Football. Falcons vs. Saints. The Falcons simply need a victory next week to clinch home field in the playoffs. So, some might have expected the Falcons to walk into last night's game and give a lackluster effort. But oh, how wrong those people were. The game was a good one. However, the Falcons didn't end up on top. They put up a good fight but still came up short. Will the result be any different in the playoffs? There's a good chance that these two teams will meet again in the NFC championship this year. Atlanta natives would like to believe that the Falcons will live up to the hype that they have created this year and have a shot at a super bowl appearance, but I'm not so sure that would happen. I'd love to see it, but I'm just not sure yet. The Falcons showed they have the team to do it last night. If it were not for a Michael Turner fumble on the one yard line, I'm pretty sure we would have won last night against the reigning super bowl champions. But only time will tell if the Falcons have what it takes to go the distance in the playoffs. It should be interesting, and I'll be on the edge of my seat every step of the way.

Will Verizon's acquisition of the iPhone mean losses for ATT??? Sources say no...



So a lot of people have been anticipating the change. Patiently waiting for the day when the iPhone would move to other networks. From what it looks like, the day is upon us. Consumer Reports recently dubbed ATT as the nation's "worst carrier". So why aren't customers who stayed only because of Apple's exclusivity deal going to flee to Verizon. Well, its not that simple. ATT still does have some perks that Verizon doesn't. Either way...decide for yourself. Check the link below for a more detailed article on at money.com.

New Google Phone


So here's the new Google Nexus S. The latest and greatest in the always expanding Android market. However, scratch that. I don't really think it is the greatest. It doesnt have a micro sd card slot accessible so that you can add and transfer your information easily like you can on the Evo. All in all, its a great phone, and has a front facing camera like the Evo, iPhone4, and G2. But it doesn't do anything new that the Evo hasn't. It does everything the Evo does. But the camera isn't as good (5mp instead of the 8mp camera that the Evo boasts), and it doesn't really do anything spectacular that the Evo doesn't. But for those who are new to Android phones, this is still a great phone and I would definitely recommend it. If I didn't already have an Evo, I wouldn't be so critical. The phone is extremely fast and I'm sure it will be one of the best on the market as it gains popularity. It looks like TMobile will be carrying it and I'm not sure if it can be unlocked for other carriers or not. But here is an article link below for more info on the phone.

Pitchfork top 50






So, Pitchfork just came out with the top 50 albums of 2010. The list will be included below the end of this article. Pitchfork tends to over- and underrate artists from time to time. However, this year's list was collectively accurate and did justice to most of the artists that I would have liked to have seen on it. Regardless of whether or not you agree with the order of the list or not, it has some good music that you may have never heard of that is definitely worth checking out. Ariel Pink and Flying Lotus are a few bands/artists that I have started listening since reading the list.
