Y’know I like Apple hardware, right? Some of its stuff is downright magical. The close attention to detail. The minimalist design. The shiny. As a hardware company, I believe there’s nobody that can really touch them. But as a software company, I find many of the arbitrary restrictions Apple places on software developers and vendors [...]
in all it’s majesty. First, some unboxing pictures. Out of the Box Powering up the Steak[sic] for the first time was exciting. After waiting a few minutes, I looked through the installed apps and menus. Something didn’t seem quite right though. This was not the OS I was expecting, having played with a few different [...]
Two months ago, I ordered a Dell Streak. There were some angry, frustrated tweets about Dell’s incredibly bad customer service while I waited. I got a note saying my device shipped on December 12th.

It’s been awhile in coming, but I think today’s going to be the day I write part 3 in my series of headphone reviews. The deciding factor has been a renewed interest in my Grado SR225s brought about by the sudden and shocking death of my beloved Koss Portapro headphones which finally gave up the [...]
Unless you’re one of those people who doesn’t really pay attention to technology, and if you are, you probably aren’t going to be reading this, you’re aware that Amazon has an electronic book reading device called the Kindle. If you happen to be living north of the 49th parallel (give-or-take) and within a particular band [...]
