These are the last three mobile phones I’ve owned. I’ve actually have owned five phones all together but I no longer have all of them with me.

In 2006 I switched from Sprint to Cingular and bought the Motorola SLVR. I liked the candy bar layout and Motorola was pretty popular at the time. Maybe you [...]

Blizzard released the StarCraft 2 Beta for Mac yesterday however they probably should have taken their time with this release because the game runs really inefficiently. From personal experience I was able to run low to medium settings on my 2009 MacBook Pro 13″. Playing online versus human opponents you could really notice the slow [...]

Last week I was seriously thinking about returning the iPod Nano that I just got in August until I found out the new iPod Nano doesn’t take photos. I’m not sure how that would have gone since I already opened it but when I found out that the new Nano couldn’t take photos that was [...]

The first time a launched my Wordpress application on my iPhone I got the following error XML-RPC Service for you blog cannot be found. Fortunately there is an easy fix. It all has to do with your theme. Some themers forget to include the following line in the header.php file.
<link rel=”EditURI” type=”application/rsd+xml” title=”RSD” href=”http://YOURDOMAIN/xmlrpc.php?rsd” />

I just downloaded the new 2.1 iPhone Firmware and sadly there were no big features introduced. That’s what you get for listening to rumors all week. However, this is nice in a way since there were bugs to fix in the old features.

The update is supposed to fix bugs, extend battery life, speed up syncing and have less [...]

As promised, some photos of the Incase Slider for the iPhone 3G. Sorry some of them are blurry…

I just got the new Incase Slider for my iPhone 3G this past weekend and so far it is everything you’d expect from a quality case. One of the first things I noticed was the quality of the plastic and how well the top piece fit with the bottom piece. Also the rubber pads on [...]

Another round of firmware updates have been released by Apple. Unfortunately I still get keyboard lag when I’m writing SMS messages. Apple’s vague description of bug fixes obvious still doesn’t address the keyboard lag.
As always, open up iTunes and plugin your iPhone via USB and a pop-up should ask you to download and install the [...]

Finally! It took them long enough to finally release their most popular case. This is probably the best case you can have for the iPhone 3G right now. The best part is that is looks sleek as hell. Everything looks like trash in comparison. You’ll have to pay top dollar for it though… $35 + [...]
