In: apple

This iPhone 4 Thing Is Out Of Control
In: apple
15 Jul 2010As an iPhone 4 user who doesn’t have reception issues with or without a case in areas with or without a signal, I have a certain perspective on this whole “iPhone 4 death grip” issue. What I see here is a corner case (no pun intended) of a risk that I discussed in my “cons” [...]

New Core i5/i7 Macbook Pros
13 Apr 2010Released today. Personally, I’m loving my Core i7 desktop here so I know you Macbook Pro users out there will enjoy the performance boost. I think it’s also insane that they’re actually allowing 512GB SSD drive upgrades for a mere $1,300!! What a bargain! *cough* Yeah, SSD is still too expensive for my tastes. I’ll [...]
