How about 24 free iPad 2s? I’ve been a fan of ZAGG for a while now. Their InvisibleShield is a fantastic screen protector and I’ve had it on my 3GS, 4, iPad, and now my Galaxy S2. I’m also on my 2nd set of SmartBuds headphones (first set developed a short while I was traveling). In the social world ZAGG is probably best known for their crazy give-aways. An iPad per week. An iPad per [...]
Overall I’d still say I’m more than satisfied with my Galaxy S II. The device itself is fantastic. It’s thin, light, powerful, has a gorgeous screen, and decent battery life. I really cannot find any faults with the hardware. Some of the software, on the other hand, I take issue with. Android as a whole is nice. But there are some things that either don’t make sense to me, or I don’t care about. The [...]
So I’ve come to a situation with my phone (to be explained later) that has all but required me to root it. Well, basically it HAS required me to root it because I have yet to find an actual solution that doesn’t involve rooting. Anyway… I’ve been reading root info and stuff for the last few weeks and all I can say is that the way these people write these things, it doesn’t seem as [...]
I wouldn’t say that I was “disappointed” with the iPhone 4S. Any rational thought would have said there was basically zero REAL evidence of the iPhone 5 being announced that day – as all of the tech blogs were eager to point out the morning of the announcement. You know… just days after they continued to run story after story of iPhone 5 rumors. Derp. Anyway… the one thing to manage in these situations is [...]
We get it… you don’t want to play foursquare like everyone else. But STOP HARASSING LEGITIMATE USERS FOR BADGES. I have a Fitbit. It’s awesome. Part of the reason I got it (well, really, just the final deciding factor that pushed me over the edge) is that it will link with my foursquare account and potentially earn badges. Today I earned my 20K Step Day badge (after a LONG day at the Vintage Grand Prix [...]
I’m not going to bother going through what the Fitbit does and doesn’t do in terms of features… if you want to know that, you can go read their own website for details. I’m going to share some of my thoughts on actually using the thing and what it’s like to live with… I think that’ll be more helpful. Actually wearing the thing is something to get used to. I initially started using the belt [...]
This past Christmas, I was at my aunt & uncle’s house for our usual family get-together. We wanted to play some Wii, so it was up to me to connect it to their Sharp LCD TV so we could laugh hysterically at family members playing Just Dance 2. Poking around behind the TV, I noticed something strange… composite cables for audio/video. I actually did a double-take because I knew they had a blu-ray player… They [...]
I don’t like Facebook. That’s no secret. Problem is… if you want to see and be seen, you practically NEED to be on Facebook. I find it quite annoying. I also find all of their settings/options/functionality very annoying. Nothing is simple or straight forward. At all. Enter Google. It’s still WAY too early to tell… but they may have something very cool on their hands. And if you’re lucky enough to get in at this [...]
Yesterday I published a nice Subaru logo wallpaper for the iPhone (that I’m currently using on my iPhone 4). I now have a couple other simple Subaru wallpapers for you. Just generic STi and WRX wallpapers. I think they’re quite clean and simple (like the other one I published). As with the other one, you can either save the image from here or click on it and save the one that pops up. [...]
In trying to keep my mind off of other things, I thought I’d make a new wallpaper tonight for my phone. I’m sure there are plenty of them out there… but I haven’t seen any specifically like this. So here you go… if you like it, feel free to use it and share. This particular one is 960×480 (optimal for iPhone 4, but should work just fine on other models). I did it that size [...]
