Too Late?

Augusta’s finally get­ting an “offi­cial” Apple Store, but is it too late? ifoAp­ple Store reported yes­ter­day: “All of Georgia’s Apple stores are clus­tered within a 27-mile cir­cle north and east of Atlanta, but not for long. Apple will open a retail store at the Augusta Mall in that city, 125 miles east of Atlanta. The 1.1 mil­lion square-foot … Read the rest of this item

Why I Still Won’t be Getting an iPhone

PCWorld offered up 5 Rea­sons to Buy the iPhone 3G and I’m here to tell you why I won’t be buy­ing into the hype. Before I go on, I should note that I own an 8GB iPod touch and use a Motorola E815 on the All­tel net­work. This arti­cle specif­i­cally addresses the points made in the PCWorld arti­cle. I rec­om­mend read­ing it first. … Read the rest of this item

Amazon takes on Apple with DRM-Free Music

Ama­zon takes on Apple with DRM-free music. I’ve used iTunes since it was first released in 2001. When music was first sold via iTunes, I bought into the idea right away and stopped buy­ing CDs alto­gether. I didn’t care about DRM and I didn’t care about bit-rates. When they started sell­ing TV shows, I didn’t hes­i­tate to buy shows … Read the rest of this item

WTF Apple. srlsy?

So… in order to get func­tion­al­ity that prob­a­bly should have been included with the iPod touch to begin with… you’re going to charge me $20 for it. Are you out of your eff­ing gourd, Apple? This is in bad form, espe­cially con­sid­er­ing this prod­uct is only around four months old, and today’s update was soft­ware … Read the rest of this item

iPhone owners to get $100 credit

Fact: Early adopters always pay too much for new tech­nol­ogy. Yesterday’s announce­ment that the iPhone would be receiv­ing a $200 price drop cre­ated a pretty strong back­lash. Enough so that an Open Let­ter to iPhone Own­ers from Steve Jobs was posted to the Apple web­site today. Long story short, if you bought an iPhone any­time in … Read the rest of this item

Why I won’t be getting an iPhone

Sorry for the light post­ing as of late. I’ve been swamped at work, and try­ing to spend less time online at home. That, and I didn’t really have any­thing to post about… Any­way. My wife asked me last night why I didn’t want an iPhone. And as soon as I came in this morn­ing, cowork­ers were ask­ing to see … Read the rest of this item

Safari on Windows

I think that it’s pretty safe to assume that by this point you’ve either used Safari on a Mac or you haven’t. I’ve used Safari for a num­ber of years, but it has never become my browser of choice. Why? Quite sim­ply: Fire­fox is more exten­si­ble and Camino is quicker on a Mac. The intro­duc­tion of Safari 3 to … Read the rest of this item
