I’ll make this brief. I was excited when Google’s Picasa was announced for Mac since I was eager to try it with my photos. Upon installing it yesterday, I noticed something very disturbing: On initial launch of Picasa, it forces you to scan your computer for images. It gives you two choices: 1. Scan your [...]

My Top 10 iPhone Apps of 2008

In: geek

20 Dec 2008

You know, I never thought I’d cling so much to a phone as much as I cling to the iPhone. When the iPhone was updated to version 2.0, I knew that it was going to make things worse. While many still believe the iPhone to be overhyped and not worth the time, money, and support, I firmly believe it has changed the smart phone market in a very short amount of time.

The iPhone is taking the world by storm. (no pun intended RIM) Yesterday, Apple announced their quarterly earnings for Q4 2008 and the results were shocking to say the least. Apple reported they sold 6.9 million phones last quarter which achieves their goal of 10 million in 2008. Also surprising is that Apple is now [...]

Apple Event Reactions

In: geek

10 Sep 2008

Today, I live streamed my reactions to the Apple “Let’s Rock” event: As stated in the video, I had pretty low expectations overall and was not disappointed unlike half the web. I can’t understand how people get upset at Apple because of their own expectations. It’s September, the holidays are around the corner so you [...]

Apple iPhone 3G Review

In: apple|geek

31 Jul 2008

If you read my original iPhone review, then you know that I was pretty impressed with Apple‘s first generation cell phone. My first impressions were nothing short of stellar. The original iPhone wasn’t perfect, and I pointed out a few flaws in the first iteration. Since that review, Apple has addressed some of the flaws [...]

A Call to Use FriendFeed Rooms for WWDC Keynote

In: apple|geek|web2.0

5 Jun 2008

I covered FriendFeed rooms already and I think it’s a good addition to an already successful system at FriendFeed. Yesterday, FriendFeed rolled out new features for FriendFeed rooms.

iPhone SDK Roadmap Today

In: geek

6 Mar 2008

Today, Apple plans to announce the roadmap for third party development of iPhone applications. This is done through a Software Development Kit or SDK. One thing I would recommend is to set your expectations a bit low. Although Steve Jobs promised a SDK in February, there is no indication that there will be anything released [...]
