Is AT&T robbing you blind?
A report came out yesterday at Macworld that AT&T may be cheating iPhone and iPad users out of some data that is rightfully theirs. As everyone is well aware, AT&T switched to a system last summer that changed their data plan offerings from having unlimited data for $30/month into two tiers of data plans. One [...]
Apple is learning their lesson
Many apologizes for not getting a blog post out yesterday – or even getting a substantial post out today. The nature of being a student means that sometimes you hit bad weeks. But, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to comment on Apple loosening their restrictions on app developers. CNN Money reports that Apple is taking efforts [...]

Well it looks like the jailbreak honeymoon is over. Stories about how iPhone jailbreaking code could potentially be used to create iPhone rootkits have started surfacing.

Nokia Shows Off Ways to Hold Their Phone
So, Nokia published new tutorial about different ways to hold a Nokia phone. Someone spent the time to figure out how to build a smartphone that you can hold a multitude of ways… it’s just silly. It’s like they’d rather have a phone that works than one built out of helicopter glass. Weirdos.
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.

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.
