The tug o’ war with iPhone ringtones
The iPhone is a wonderful phone. I love it. However, today I upgraded my firmware to 1.1.1 and Apple tricked my phone so that if I open up a ringtone menu, it loses my custom ringtone setting. The ringtone’s there and will still work if you don’t open that menu, but opening the menu wipes [...]
Some thoughts after the price drop bomb was dropped
When Apple announced last week that they were dropping the price of the iPhone by $200 (that’s 33%), I admit I was kind of miffed. The iPhone was the kind of device I’ve always wanted and although I knew the price was a little high, it was also a very unique device and was willing [...]
Kudos to Apple
Steve Jobs just wrote an open letter stating that early buyers of the iPhone will get a $100 credit. I’m impressed. http://www.apple.com/hotnews/openiphoneletter/
The price of being an early adopter just went up
When you’re the first on the block to buy something new, you know that you’re paying top dollar for it. Eventually the price will drop, we all know that. However, today Apple kicked its loyal users in the teeth by dropping the price of their 8GB iPhone by $200 after only being out 60 days. [...]
Should iPhone unlockers not jump the gun?
So the iPhone is unlocked. Reports are claiming that people are buying phones just to use them on other networks. Personally, I think it’s a great idea. I have nothing at all against Cingular/AT&T, they’ve been a terrific carrier for years. However, I think that the iPhone should be for everyone, and not everyone likes [...]
Is the iPhone honeymoon over?
It’s been 6 weeks since the iPhone got into the hands of the mortals. Is it all that was promised? My idea of a perfect phone was something that allowed me to either stop carrying around two devices (phone and iPod), or at least limited the use of one of them. The features of my [...]
Apple posts $1 Billion in profits!
IN PROFITS! 21 million iPods 1.6 million Macs Go ahead, make fun of Apple. I dare you.
Boot Camp, Parallel, brings XP to the Intel Macs
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’d know by now that Apple released their Boot Camp application which allows you to run Windows XP SP2 on your Intel-based Mac Book Pro, Mini, or iMac. I put off buying an Intel-based Mac for a while, mainly because I don’t really need one right now. However, [...]
Mac on Intel
Yeah, this is late. I’ve been busy. I see that a lot of people are quite ticked off at the fact that Apple’s going to be using Intel chips in their new machines. Can you blame them? Steve Jobs promised dual 3.0 GHz G5s two years ago. The best we have now is dual 2.7 [...]
Is Stuffit relevant anymore?
For as long as I can remember, I used Stuffit Deluxe for my Mac. When Apple released Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, Stuffit Expander was not part of the installation for the first time in many years. Since OS X has .zip creation/expansion built in, I suppose they think that there’s no need for Stufit [...]
