I consider myself to be one of the biggest Apple fanboys around but this one just makes me go really? Wired.com has posted an article which details Apple’s latest defense against the illegality of Jailbreaking. Apple is claiming Jailbroken phones present a danger to the entire cellular network as they might be used to somehow [...]

T-Mobile ETF escape may be on the horizon for some with 9/1/09 fee changes
Word’s trickling in that some T-Mobile customers may be seeing changes applied to their contract come September 1, 2009. According to TMonews the fee changes (which affect some but not all T-Mobile customers) are slated to raise overage costs which would change contract terms and allow those affected to cancel without any early termination fee [...]
Texting, driving, and you
All over the news lately is how bad texting and driving can be. It’s common sense that looking at your phone and driving is a bad idea. But have you ever tried to quantify how bad it is? The NY Times has an interactive game up that lets you “test” how bad you are at [...]
Could Google Voice boost Palm Pre sales?
As we all know by now Apple recently yanked all Google Voice applications from their App Store. These programs made using the iPhone in conjunction with a Google Voice account much simpler. While people have been arguing over who is to blame for the sudden yanking – the Palm Pre development community has been working [...]
Google vs. Bing. vs. Yahoo: Fight!
I came across this website this morning and thought it would make a fun experiment. In the spirit of blind taste tests like Coke vs Pepsi, one website has set up a Bing vs. Google vs. Yahoo. In this blind test, is your favorite search engine the one that reigns supreme? I tested it with [...]
Plantraco’s Micro Butterfly
This has to be the smallest Remote Controlled Airplane in the world. Measuring in at 3.5 inches, the Plantraco Micro Butterfly has a 4mm Motor with 32mm Direct Drive Propeller, a 0.38 gram receiver, a micro actuator for the rudder (rudder only on this one folks) and the remote has a charger for the plane’s [...]
Optimization-world.com fast, friendly and free (shipping)
It seems as though I had just barely gotten up from my computer requesting a couple of items from the Optimized Cable Company website and BAM … the postal service was placing my filled order in my mailbox out front.
GearGames Review: Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars Director’s Cut (DS)
My wife thinks I am insane when I buy something more than once – she considers it extraneous. Generally she is right, and I seldom do it – but there are also times I go overboard. For example, there are several games I own for both Mac & PC so I can play whatever platform [...]
Joby Launches Gorillamobile iPhone Tripod
With the iPhone 3GS doing a nice job taking pictures and shooting videos accessories that make capturing inages and video are more important than ever. Joby has just announced their new Gorillamobile which just might be the most flexible (pun intended) tripod for iPhone (and other small electronics) yet. Better still, it can be useful [...]
RichardSolo BluePack S3 Review
I’ve been a big fan of the products distributed by RichardSolo since I reviewed their first iPhone battery for JustAnotheriPhoneBlog. That battery provided an extra 1200mAh of juice. I liked it! Then Richard gave me the opportunity to review the RichardSolo 1800 for iPhone. It was a bit bigger, bumped the extra runtime significantly and added [...]
The UI challenge: Windows 7 vs. Mac OSX
ITWorld has an interesting article comparing Windows 7 to OSX that’s worth a read. While it is definitely a one sided comparison (the way its written at least), it compares 10 different UI points. I can’t say that I disagree with the conclusions or the UI points chosen for comparison. The items compared include: Startup [...]

Brilliant but Doomed Technology
The Technologizer has an article on cool and innovative, but ultimately doomed, technology over at their site. Its definitely worth a read, especially if you like trips down the road to yesteryear. While you might think this includes things like the Newton and Sony Betamax, it doesn’t, it specifically avoids them. For this article, I [...]
