IT guy, weekend SCCA racer, new Subaru owner, Foursquare SU3, PSU alum, gadget lover, Apple user, all-around regular guy.
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 [...]
With the addition of a 4th line on my AT&T bill, I’ve started to really look at the data usage and how much I’m paying for it. With all 4 of these phones being iPhones, each one requires a data plan. And since we’re not heavy users and also not light data users, the 200mb plan is a bit too little… but the 2gb plan is a bit too much. Where’s my Goldilocks plan? It’s [...]
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 [...]
Happened to read a story on Engadget today about AT&T planning on auto enrolling “unauthorized” tethering users in a tethering data plan… The story goes like this: People that have jailbroken their iPhone can use certain apps to enable tethering/hotspot features for free. The very same features that AT&T would like to charge its users for. Up until now, it didn’t seem like they cared too much about it (publicly at least, internally they probably [...]
I’m doing a complete rewrite of this post as I found a better (cleaner) way to do this via an app. My initial post was using an app called Tweetcaster. It worked well enough and offered a free version, but there were some quirks with the filtering that made it a bit cumbersome. This way is MUCH easier. Step one: Acquire iPhone. Go download Echofon for Twitter (available in Free or Pro versions – difference [...]
The idea of AirPrint is great… print documents/photos/whatever from your iDevice (running OS 4.2+) to a printer wirelessly. Problem is that there are less than 20 compatible printers (at this moment)… all of them from HP. So what’s a guy to do if he doesn’t want to run out and buy a new printer? Well, when it was announced, I was hoping they’d be nice enough to include support for printers connected via Airport Express. [...]
Was just reading this story on Engadget about Android eclipsing iOS as the largest mobile platform in the US. My initial reaction? No shit!? There are currently 35 different smartphones available in the US according to Google. And that’s across multiple carries and manufacturers! You know how many iOS smartphones there have been in total? Just 4. On one carrier. Why is this even a story? Of course Android is going to top iOS in [...]
Can people just agree to disagree? For once? I’m sick of seeing this stupid shit on every site and blog I happen to read. I like Apple stuff. Some people might even say I’m a “fanboy” … that’s fine. But at least I’m not a total douche about it and can respect another company’s hard work and effort for what it is. Here, watch how easy this is… Android is great OS that obviously has [...]
Sorry, I just don’t consider any sort of scammer (Nigerian or otherwise) an actual organism… but they are evolving none-the-less. Not too long ago I reported about just another sad attempt of someone trying to scam me out of something on Craigslist. It was a quite sad and pathetic attempt (to me) – though I feel like there are many that would likely follow through with it and lose out… Anyway, I was again the [...]
