BWAHAHAHA!!!!

September 28, 2007

Waxing poetic today.
They said Apple wouldn’t intentionally “brick”* unlocked iPhones:
They did!
Apple said they didn’t care about third party apps on the iPhone
They do because they removed them!
On the bright side, iPod Touch updates has fixed the screen problem.
Some Geniuses have taken pity and magically (and relock) “bricked” iPhones.
*By brick I do not mean the usual [...]

iPhone Evil. Apple Evil-er

September 25, 2007

Unlocked iPhones will become iBricksFirst let me say, that while I have refrained from talking about the iPhone (Because I don’t want, can’t use, and frankly am sick of hearing about it), I can’t let this go without mention. Well, I could, but I chose not to.This may be a bit of knee-jerk reaction [...]

Transformers in IMAX!

September 25, 2007

If i have one complaint about Transformers is that a lot of the action is real tight, cut real fast and a a lot of the robots look pretty much the same close up. As a result when I first saw Transformers I sometimes had a hard time keeping track of what exactly was going [...]

Apple Fanboys Strike Back

September 22, 2007

Right on article in iLounge about how Apple’s screwed up in the past month. I don’t blame them too much for the Ringtones racket because it is a racket everywhere, and I can’t blame them for not wanting to leave money on the table, but it’s still a little shady.
The crippling video out on the [...]

Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, or iMac? — Part 1

September 18, 2007

I need to buy a new Mac to run Leopard. I’ve got a Mac Mini (the original Mac Mini like probably the first one that rolled off the assembly line) and the last version of the PowerBook G4 12-inch. I could run Leopard on the PowerBook, but I really shouldn’t. It would probably be Vista-bad. [...]

Are Pigs Flying?

September 18, 2007

I shocked, stunned, mouth agape, when TUAW published this snide, bitter post about Apple closing some ringtone hole in the iPhone. I had to read it twice because I wasn’t sure if they were talking about Apple or Sony (my own snide bitterness).  First of all I got to say that this whole obsessive cracking [...]

iPod Touch Flying offf the shelves..and maybe back to the store the next day

September 15, 2007

The iPod Touch is in stores! Sadly (or maybe not so sadly,,more on that later) I can only sit and look at all the unboxing photos since $399 (I need 16GB) is a little steep for me right now, and with Leopard coming out (precipitating the need for a new Mac) I don’t know what [...]

New iPod nano (with video) Interface, from iLounge.com

The wonderful plan Steve Jobs has for your life

September 6, 2007

Today’s keynote was one of the few Apple events where despite the fact that almost all of the rumors were true (even the fat Nano) and yet I was still surprised since even the more fanciful rumors were true (iPod with WiFi). Just a quick recap:

Ringtones — yawn. I don’t have an iPhone although ringtones [...]
