As far as the glass vs matte screens, that's another one of those issues that so quickly devolves into a religious war with proponents on both sides refusing to just accept that tastes and needs vary. Someone really can have a different point of vi…

Seems like it's always good advice to NOT be one of the first purchasers of any new Apple product. The first factory release of model after model over the last few years always has lots of glitches reported, whether it's hardware or software relat…

The blog-o-sphere is afire with rumors of Apple working on 10.7? Is it a slow news day or something? I'd assumed they've been working on this since the day 10.6 was released, if not before. I think it's safe to assume they're working on iPhon…

A seldom discussed, but significant in my opinion, disadvantage of the CDMA Rev A network in use by Verizon is the inability of the cellular device to access both voice and data simultaneously. AT&T's HSDPA network does not have that limitation…

Most of the analogies thrown about re: jailbreaking are not accurate. The real flaw is user ignorance, just like most security flaws. It doesn't matter what system you're on, if you open port 22 (ssh), or any port, actually, to the world, and le…
