    Welcome to The Cloud, where you can sync your address book on your MacBook to your BlackBerry, your iPod Touch and even your work laptop if you feel really adventurous and like to cross your streams.

    This latest announcement from Google must have old Schultzter so excited right now. You see his two biggest Geek passions are coming together: OpenSourse OSes and Google is what can only be described as the biggest Nerd Marriage Geeky Offspring ever.

    Part 1 and part 2 of this ongoing series looked at visual clues that Google didn’t really believe in their mantra of “Do no evil.” In this installment I’m going to investigate some operational evilness on Google’s part.

    I cleared my inbox and tasks this morning to download the much touted 4.7.0.148 update for the BlackBerry Storm and try to rekindle my love affair with the BlackBerry again. Lately, I’ve been getting that 7 year itch feeling whenever I use the Storm. The younger smartphones like the iPhone are suddenly looking really sexy…

    All the Fat Dads really love Google products, so we’re kind of biased and even a little when it comes to reviews on their new products.
