Dell Dies, And In Its Place..

A MacBook Pro. Yes, and it is awesome.
So the story, my Dell laptop was humming along fine, but then recently I heard some clicking, and was like WTF? Asked Emily “Did this fall on the ground or something”… “No… but I dropped a glass on it”… Oh man, and you know, one month after [...]

More Boring Tech..Atari, Brats, iPhones, Rock Band (fake and real!)

Well, new job is going OK. Not much to report really, as you can see from the lack of posting. No new tech or anything interesting leads to… well, boring posts like this.

When I first picked up my iPhone, I unlocked/jailbroke using SSH (yikes!), and then after a few firmware updates and revirginzings, there were tools. I have been using Independence (on my Mac) lately, and then getting Installer.app on there over SSH, and then unlocking, etc from there.

iPhone and Windows 2008

The iPhone doesn’t do anything with Windows 2008 by default. Usually when you plug it in, it will charge it, and it will show up as a digital camera in your My Computer. Windows 2008 , it just sits there, fails driver install, and does nothing.
If you install iTunes (ugh) , then [...]

iPhone: Google Maps Continuously Crashes

Found this out this weekend, my Google Maps was continuously crashing. I was at the hotel, and the wi-fi for the hotel had the screen where it asks you to accept the ToS, or whatever. I never accepted, but was trying Google Maps on my phone, and it kept crashing. I just had to turn [...]

iPhone Commercial Incorrect?

Just recently going back to the dark side, and getting cable again, I have noticed some new iPhone commercials on TV. There is one where they talk about kind of going on vacation, and show you all the things you can do with the iPhone to aide in planning, etc. If you watch closely, you [...]
