Apple just announced the passing of Co-Founder Steve Jobs. As I write this post on one of my many Mac computers and dismiss a call on my iPhone – I draw breath at the sheer impact he has had on millions of lives. We are a wired society thanks in large part to his vision, [...]
During today’s announcement by Apple for the iPhone 4S, their website totally crashed. And I mean “Crashed”. It was down for a little over an hour. And after Apple announced that the iPhone 4S was going to be available on the Sprint Network. Boom, Sprints Phone page crashes… and it’s been crashed for about 2 [...]
Today at Cupertino, Apple had it’s first post-Jobs era product launch. Apple announced 2 things really. The iPhone 4S and the Siri, Assistant Search. This is a much better phone than the Samsung Charge that I have, but it’s not the “iPhone 5″ that was buzzing around the interwebs. Siri Search, makes use of Yelp’s [...]
According to the Wall Street Journal report, Microsoft is close to a deal to purchase Skype, the Internet’s site with the most members. Think Facebook has the most members? Nope. Skype does, and Microsoft is thinking about buying it for $7 billion to $8.5 billion dollars. Why would Microsoft want Skype? Actually my estimation, it [...]
The latest, greatest version of Apple’s iOS mobile operating system, iOS 4.3, apparently has a hidden easter egg, a new “find my friends” feature, MacRumors has discovered. It seems most likely that Apple is building a geo location-based social network to compete with Foursquare, GoWalla, Google’s Latitude, Facebook Places and the million other startups in the mobile, local, [...]
Boom! Apple and Skype finally agree to allow Skype’s popular video chatting compatible with the iPhone. Amazing. The cats out in Cupertino are starting to cooperate with people now. Can you feel the love tonight? And it’s available IMMEDIATELY. We didn’t have to wait for CES or MacWorld! Holy sh#t! I heard of some rumblings [...]
January is quickly approaching. What does this mean for early adopters and lovers of cool tech gadgetry? Only one thing, CES is nigh. This will be a fun time to go to CES, as many companies are preparing to take on Apple iPad with tablets of their own. I expect internet TV to get some [...]
There has been much speculation the past couple months on whether Apple and Verizon will announce a partnership on with the iPhone running on “America’s Most Reliable Network.” or whatever slogan they have, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in early January. The reason is, AT&T’s customer experience is consistently bad. Worse than [...]
So, unless you have been under a rock for the last few months, you have probably heard the name, Justin Bieber. I have heard it, but I had not one clue as to WHY he was famous. As far as I knew, Justin Bieber was a young actor or singer or something. I knew he [...]
As I skimmed the iPad app store the other night, the one app that struck me most (besides Flipboard) was one that actually set way, way down at #55. It was the highly-touted Hulu + app, possibly one of the most hoped-for and touted apps by the iPad crowd. The price was set at $9.99. [...]

Obviously, Best Buy was going to start selling a tablet soon… that isn’t a surprise., however it is a bit surprising that its CTO Robert Stephens shot a few pics of the tablet branded RocketFish and tweeted them out over Twitter earlier today. Beyond the shot above and the one after the break, we don’t know much about the HP [...]
A Taiwanese news organization explains the Apple iPhone saga for those that aren’t up to date. One of the solutions to the antenna fix? Well, just watch the video. Via Gizmodo.
This is the line. You cannot just get into the line. You need to go to a separate line to register to get into this line. The line to register is in the parking garage. On the bottom level. Just follow the sound of the ruckus.

I have had my iPad for about six weeks now and I have to say that for the most part I love it. The screen is amazing, the apps are great and it is extremely convenient for taking to meetings. Here is my one hang up. The accessories are less than stellar. While I think [...]
Steve stands by his capatalism. And rightfully so. Over at Valleywag Ryan Tate and Steve Jobs have a conversation about freedom of expression vs. invention.
For the first quarter in over six years, the Japanese giant, Nintendo, lost money. Heads have to roll! It looks like they may have declared war upon Apple, since apparently, they’ve already defeated Sony. Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo, is believed to have told his senior executives recently the war on Sony is victory. Time [...]
If true, does Apple even need to make computers anymore?

Microsoft has just opened its next Home Server OS to public beta. Microsoft says that the Vail beta only works on 64-bit systems, with the minimum requirements being “a 1.4 GHz x64 processor, 1 GB RAM, and at least one 160 GB hard drive.”
Apple is the low-hanging fruit of tech writing. Things seem to have come to a head with the iPhone 4G leak. It’s time for the blogosphere to stop reporting on Apple at the expense of better, more interesting news.
In a nutshell: Apple engineer has birthday (27), get’s tipsy, and leaves prototype iPhone at a German bar in the San Francisco Bay area. Finder attempts to give phone back to Apple. Apple doesn’t believe them. Finder contacts Gizmodo. Gizmodo pays 5K for phone. Reviews and dissects iPhone 4G. Apple asks for phone back. [...]
Spring is officially here, meaning summer is only two months away. So, why won’t an iPad be in the Frugal Fanboy’s beach bag (or carry-on)? Because even for vacationing, it doesn’t fill a need.
Yesterday, Gizmodo posted a teardown of the potential iPhone 4G, revealing an updated exterior and a plethora of new features, such as a front-facing camera and a better still camera with a flash. It also has a larger battery and possibly a higher resolution display. The announcement is expected in late June with a release [...]
So today I made it to the apple store (got my Jobs badge on Foursquare) and picked up Apple’s case for the iPad. I have to say that this does make typing a lot easier, not that it was hard but I do believe we are going to see increasing cases of carpal tunnel. I [...]
Ok, So I haven’t blogged in a week or so. With work projects moving in fortuitous directions, I’ve been busy. Plus, my free time has been spent consuming mass media on the iPad device. The apps that have consistently snagged my attention are the Oceanhouse Media apps. I’m taking some time tonight and will publish [...]
Great deals on brand-name coffee, an evil designer keyboard, and even on the mythical MacBook Air.
With the new MacBook Pro lineup, featuring all-new processors, we can look forward to forums filling up with nitpicks and gripes and whining from the scads of fanboys who continue to believe that Apple makes perfect products. So, for your betting pleasure, here is the First-Gen Rev.A MacBook Pro i5/i7 Bracket. As you can see, [...]
Or “How To Look Like An Apple Fanboy On The Internet Without Going Broke”
The new MacBook Pro line is nearly indistinguishable from the older model, with the only difference being the larger smile of smug self-satisfaction on the face of the user.
