On the second day of his “12 Days of Christmas Tech Gifts,” Mike Wendland (freep.com) turns his attention to smartphones. “The best phone period,” he affirms, “remains the Apple iPhone.” “Groundbreaking in its functionality, features, and fun,” iPhone also tops his list because of the App Store, which “gives it so much power that none of the competitors can even come close.”

Tonight is the night that I finally get my new iPhone - its been several months since I planned on getting the iPhone for the first time, but my parents we’re object to it since I was making little money. Since then, I’ve been working many more hours and making lots more money, and just this week I recieved a raise and promotion offer at work - all the better! Thus, tonight my dad and I will make the trek to the mall (in the middle of Christmas shopping season, to boot!) and get myself set up w

There are two ladies in the Learfield IT department. Not only are they smart and competent, they’re hip and attractive. So when they told me my new iPhone belt holster would mark me as a nerdy lamer, I was dismayed. All my Mac buddies keep their iPhone proudly strapped on their hips like 3G Glocks. I tried carrying it in my pocket but when driving in the car it is almost impossible to get it out to answer/make a call. They even sent me a link to this Budweiser Men of Genius spot (Mr. Cell Phon

Well, it could be said that Apple has managed to get itself into a mess over the past couple of days. First, Apple posted an advisory ad telling Mac users to install anti-virus software on their computers. While most who are “in” with technology took this to heart and called it a wise move, Apple apparently did not like all the attention. So, it gets better - Apple pulls the advisory. Afterall, the rather uneducated public, who are also the potential Windows transfers, think (thanks to I’m a P

With producer Stuart Price in London and The Killers in Las Vegas, there was only one way for Day & Age to come of age. Using a remote Logic-based songwriting workflow, band members recorded their ideas in Logic then shared them via email and iDisk with each other and Price, who, a continent away, added drum loops, keyboard lines, and other effects to the songs before sending them back to Vegas.

Has anyone else noticed that ipl2iph no longer works. I think the BBC may have changed something at their end to stop the script working.

Hope someone is clever enough to repackage that into a new version of ipl2iph.

I see today that the BBC has yet again taken the oportunity to beat Apple with its large media stick!

The big difference between Google’s efforts and Vlingo’s is the addition of Yahoo search, meaning users can pick the search engine of their choice

This past weekend was pretty stressful, from a computing standpoint. During my visit to see the relatives down in North Carolina, my precious MacBook Pro decided to take a nosedive. I put it to sleep one evening but when I went to check my email the next morning, the screen never came back on. Reboot…nothing, reboot again…nothing. After some scrambling on the Internet for a little help, I came across a suggestion to reset the PRAM (otherwise known as parameter RAM). This is done by invok
