Apple’s Magic… Trackpad?
So, I usually applaud companies that try to set the curve for new user input standards, and such innovations are usually met with an “ooh ahh” by me… but to be honest – I don’t really know what to make of this: I mean, it’s kind of cool looking… I guess… but the “buy this [...]
Library of Congress rules jailbreaking legal
Do you know what the Library of Congress did for you today? Ruled that jailbreaking an iPhone was not a violation of copyright as Apple has been claiming: The Library of Congress, which has the power to define exceptions to an important copyright law, said on Monday that it was legal to bypass a phone’s [...]
To John Gruber: Grow Up
What I can only imagine being a response to continued criticisms over Apple following their press conference yesterday, John Gruber (a popular Technology and Mac blogger, for those not in the know) has been spewing some Android, Nokia, and Blackberry hate on his blog, Daring Fireball, this morning. His first post of interest at 5:28AM this morning [...]
Apple Censoring? No Way!
So, Consumer Reports announced yesterday that they were reversing their recommendation on the iPhone 4 in a blog post on their website. What’s interesting is that (as Gizmodo points out) they had previously recommended the iPhone 4 before fully testing it. Oops. That makes them look silly. Now, it seems that you guys have taken to censoring any posts [...]

Steve Jobs and the Signal Bar Disappearing Act
There has been much talk recently of the issues with signal reception in Apple’s new golden child, the iPhone 4. Ever since the first I heard about it from Gizmodo – I feel as though I’ve been hearing about it from everywhere. I hate to be that guy in the back of the room saying [...]
AT&T is giving away money? Not likely.
There has been a lot of speculation about AT&T allowing people to upgrade to the iPhone 4 early. If you don’t know what I’m talking about click the link at the bottom. If you do, I just wanted to highlight this paragraph: The other, more intriguing theory is that there’s something coming in the next [...]
Web Programmers Never Get Cars…
When he was 17, George Hotz poured hundreds of hours of his summer vacation into a special project: learning the iPhone’s secrets. His unpaid labor eventually paid off. With the help of a soldering iron, he was the first to unlock the iPhone, delivering the handset to international networks before Apple had a chance to. He got [...]
Apple Tablet?
So, I’ve obviously had my head buried in books for too long, because I completely missed this until now: Apple’s lips are sealed about its widely rumored tablet computer, but technology experts are giddy about the device, already exclaiming it will be the gadget to end all gadgets. [...] If the rumors are true, the tablet will [...]
