No iPhone 4 for me yet?

No iPhone 4 for me yet?

By Jan Dembowski on July 13, 2010

Not really news, but nice to see that Consumer Reports can send people the straight scoop. This seems to put to rest the myth of this being a software glitch. I still plan on getting one. I was going to get the bumper anyways and it’s still an awesome phone despite the antenna flaw. Share [...]

And now an iMac

And now an iMac

By Jan Dembowski on July 6, 2010

I have way too many PCs in my house, but a couple of them have been elevated to “must have”. The notebook in the kitchen had become indispensable, like coffee in the morning. My morning wake up routine became Drink coffee Check my e-mail Check out my social networks Do a little sysadmin on my [...]

The iPad is announced! I just don’t don’t get it

By Jan Dembowski on January 27, 2010

With some fanfare the iPad was announced today. And if I am reading it right, it’s like an iPhone but big and fat. I don’t get it. It’s an iPhone without the phone. It does not multitask.  So while you are using it as a ebook reader, you can’t keep any instant messenger sessions in [...]

The iPhone 3G

By Jan Dembowski on November 8, 2008

I’ve had the iPhone 3G for a week now and have come to one inescapable conclusion: I need to buy a watch. The iPhone 3G is well designed and easy to use.  The screen is larger than my old BlackBerry Pearl but not too large. The built in applications are generally okay but a little [...]

More legal Darwin award recipients?

By Jan Dembowski on December 23, 2007

Looking on Amazon and searching for Steve Jobs and parody comes up with just one hit surprisingly. I don’t usually read parodies since I prefer science fiction but Apple’s lawyers sure tempt me. Anyone who can’t figure out that FSJ blog is, well, fake probably subscribes to those supermarket tabloids. The one’s that say JFK, [...]

Apple really knows how to get good PR

By Jan Dembowski on October 29, 2007

Note from Apple to a 3rd grader: “There is no Santa Claus. The Easter bunny is dead! THE TOOTH FAIRY IS MADE UP!!” Nice going Apple, sending a 9 year old a C&D letter. Share this: Reddit Facebook StumbleUpon Print
