The iPad is The Future Of Laptops

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

You can read it over at TMO (where there are some *great* comments) and/or watch it in my interview with TheDigitalLifestyle.tv. Or, you know, right here below.

iPhone OS Multitasking Idea

Monday, February 1st, 2010

I had what I consider to be quite a fantastic idea for solving a lot of the complaints about the iPhone OS’s lack of multitasking support for third-party apps. I wrote about it over at TMO, so you can see it there. Enjoy!

My Lightning Lessons

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Just posted an article about my lightning experiences and lessons learned over at TMO that *should* have gone live a year ago, but got lost in the system. Thankfully a conversation sparked up this weekend on the Macworld Forums about Chris Breen’s related power experiences, and it sent me to seek out this old article [...]

Skype for iPhone thoughts

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Skype for the iPhone came out last night, and I spent a little time with it, and wrote a lot about it. Don’t worry, I’ve been using Skype regularly for years, so most of what I wrote is actually real stuff I didn’t make up! The article’s posted over at iPodObserver today, and even includes [...]

Thoughts on Kindle for iPhone

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

Amazon released the Kindle app for the iPhone last night, and this morning I released my thoughts on it over at iPodObserver. There’s already an interesting stream happening in the comments over there. Enjoy!

I Want a Trial!

Friday, February 20th, 2009

At the risk of sounding even more egotistical than I have been recently (difficult, I know… but I’m going to try!), I’ll quote myself from an article we published over on iPodObserver regarding the iPhone App Store today: I would love to be able to download an app and have a 24-hour trial period. If [...]

No Sirius iPod Coming Soon

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Every few years, the rumor mill perks up with talk, speculation, or simply hope that Apple and Sirius will team up and put Sirius content on the iPod. It ain’t gonna happen folks. At least not any time soon. And the reason is simple: Apple makes money selling music on the iTunes store. Until Apple [...]

Mobile blogging

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

For years I’ve complained that the only time I think to blog something is when I’m away from my computer and, hence, nothing gets blogged. My blog frequency certainly supports that. Now that WordPress for the iPhone is out, perhaps that will change and you’ll hear more from me here, as well. Time will tell.

Winter Migration (of the Computing kind)

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

As many listeners of our Mac Geek Gab podcast know, I recently purchased a new 2.6GHz 15″ MacBook Pro from Apple. It arrived yesterday, but I really didn’t get a chance to even begin setting it up until today. Honestly, if I wasn’t traveling to Austin, Texas next week, I probably would have waited longer [...]

Hamilton’s Gadget Law

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

Everyone who bought an <insert name of gadget here> on day 1 *knows* that it’s going to be cheaper at some point down the road.
