Seriously trivial thoughts
I find it very entertaining the back and forth going on between Apple and Nokia over the whole antenna problem. Honestly, people are making too much of it. The only people that should complain is anyone that wouldn’t use a case. Of course, you’d have to be pretty stupid to not use a case on …
I’ve always been a fan of subscription music and started years ago with Rhapsody using their service to fill my Creative Zen MP3 players. I switched to Napster a few years ago because I preferred their use of WMA files as opposed to Rhapsody’s real file format (Rhapsody now does WMA too :-). Napster (now …
I’ve always hated the way it takes several taps to close a web page on the iPhone browser. Apple takes a similar approach with handling multitasking apps in iOS4, but introduces a much bigger problem. The problem is to truly close (i.e., terminate) a background application, you have to switch to the Home screen, double-click …
Suddenly, every time I ran the Add or Remove Programs on my Windows XP machine, the window would just say “Please wait while list is being populated…” and just stay that way. Well, after reading countless sites I finally found the solution here. Who is the culprit??? F’ckin Java!!! Basically, you just run RegEdit, go …
Got my iPhone 4 via FedEx. The 1-1/2 hours pre-ordering online was worth it. So far the darn thing is awesome. I love it. Here are some notes on my experience: Display is so sharp. Kindle app text looks like paper. I can *easily* read even using the smallest font! The ability to work with …

A few days ago I posted my intention of dumping Nokia in favor of the new iPhone 4. Nothing has changed. However, Apple’s announcement of the iPhone 4 details has stirred up much debate and comparison to the upcoming Nokia N8. The thing that strikes me in those discussions is the comparison based on pure …
I have finally had it with Nokia and will be ordering an iPhone 4 on June 15th. Now, I love the openness of Symbian and hate the closeness of Apple. However, this (apparently) means I’m supposed to live with poorly designed hardware and software in my N97: terrible keyboard, flash bleeding, sluggish OS, memory issues, …
Got tired of waiting for the Acer 1825PT. Found the HP Touchsmart TM2 convertible tablet for just $709 plus tax using a $150 instant off and a $250 coupon code. Looks very sweet and supposedly better build qualities compared to 1825PT. If you don’t know about these type of notebooks, the screen swivels around and …
