Gearfuse

Today is the day, baby. Most of you who reserved a PS3 Instant Stream disc will be receiving yours today. I happened to be one of the lucky ones who got their hands on a disc a littler earlier in the day so I’ve taken the liberty of reviewing the disc for those of you who were still on the fence about going through the trouble of reserving your own copy.

The whole process is pretty seamless. The first time you pop in the disc you’re required to go through a very simple activation process, but after that you’re home free. The cover flow UI is easy to navigate after you get used to the slightly clumsy square-button led navigation. The quality is MUCH better than I expected, almost reaching DVD quality and definitely out pacing both my PC and my Mac.

Enough of my pandering. Check out the video and see for yourself!

But in all honesty, come on, I mean… cooooooome oooonnnn, come out of your shell a bit. We’re the nice sort of geek that offers free candy and promises of gadgetry. Oh, oh, plus special exclusive discounts every once in while for our social users. It’s an offer you can’t refuse.

Now get outta here before I smack ya head.

I was recently sent a copy of Richard L. Brandt’s “Inside Larry and Sergey’s Brain,” a book which attempts to delve into the inner circle of two of the most hermetic CEOs in tech, exploring the path of Google’s evolution and the company’s meteoric success in the process. The book provides some insight into one of the most close-knit triangles in tech history between Larry Page, Sergey Brin and the slightly more social CEO Eric Schmidt.

Rather than personally analyzing the two men (though there is a fair share of personal analysis,) Brandt delves into the men’s business ethos and the culture built behind the company. Much of the information presented is history which can be read else ware, though Brandt collects a series of public and private accounts into a chronological internet fairy tale. What I found the most interesting were the peeks into the psyche of Larry and Sergey and the view we receive of these two men’s vast influence of the internet. I highly recommend this title to anyone interested in learning more about the culture of Google and how Larry and Sergey’s personalities have come to shape that culture into what we know as Google today.

A few months back I was interviewed by TrendHunter about Gearfuse, the blogging industry and the art of trends. I didn’t initially notice but the interview was posted back in mid-August!

If you want to check out the interview you can take a gander here. All in all it was a ton of fun and hopefully it can provide some aid and inspiration to you inspiring bloggers and GEARheads.

The only thing more important to us than the coolest geeky shit on the web is you guys. Where would we be without you? Well, for one, we’d be homeless. Two, we would have shut down long ago. So really, thank you, thank you, thank you, for being so damn awesome.

Now, the meat and potatoes of this here post. We’d love if you could throw us a follow over at Twitter. You can find us @Gearfuse. Every once in a while you’ll find an exclusive contest or deal going down over there. We try to make it worth your while.

If you ever want to say anything to me personally like, “Yo, what up Andrew, you should really shower more often cuz you reek, son” or just want to pop-in and say hey, you can always e-mail me at andrew -@- gearfuse.com. And as always, you can request that I check out your geeky gadget, book or service for a potential review on Gearfuse.

Thanks again and we love you all. Every single one of you.

I’ve already ordered four shirts (including the one pictured above). This deal was way too good to pass up.

In honor of 09/09/09, Threadless has lowered the price of all of their t-shirts to only $9 until 4 PM CST (6 PM EST) today. The usual price is $18-$20 so you’re getting a significant discount. Threadless has some of the best tee designs in the biz, some which we’ve featured right here on Gearfuse, so this is an offer you probably shouldn’t refuse. Go, go, go!
