March 17, 2011

I thought I wanted to try something slightly different for this Photo of the week and show you a real snapshot for once, showing a little bit of where I live. What I mean by “snapshot” is a photo that was born for no real reason other than just to take a photo of whatever [...]

Recommended: Invisible Shield for iPhone 4 by Zagg (also saves your signal)

August 6, 2010

Yesterday I installed the invisible shield by Zagg on my recently acquired iPhone 4. I did it because I also had an invisible shield on the back of my iPhone 3GS and I loved it – it added more “grip” so the phone wasn’t as slippery as it is, without being in a case. Plus [...]

iPhone 4 Not Recommended by Consumer Reports & Apple Removing Forum Threads

Apple is really screwing things up when it comes to the iPhone 4 and its antenna issues.

Well, shortly after he writes [...]
