It had to be done…
30Jan08My thoughts on the MacBook Air
20Jan08Opinions are like assholes; everybody has one and nobody thinks theirs stinks. So here’s mine…
The Sony SZ-series in Carbon Fibre is my benchmark lightweight notebook, a 3.72lb machine that sacrifices nothing. It has ExpressCard, a fingerprint scanner, webcam, and Sony includes an ExpressCard 6-in-1 memory card reader. It even has a modem if you like […]
iPhone Annoyances #12
01Oct07Why doesn’t every iPhone app support rotation? It sure would be nice to be able to use the keyboard in landscape mode for Mail, SMS, Notes, and anywhere else that I have to type. I’ll grant that the on-screen keyboard isn’t as awful as I expected, but I do much better with it in landscape […]
iPhone Annoyances #11

The vibrate function is […]
iPhone Annoyances #8
27Sep07The other night I was on a very long call with an old friend that I hadn’t heard from in quite a while. Every so often the phone would vibrate, and like my first iPhone annoyance post there was nothing on the screen to indicate why. It wasn’t another call, or an SMS. My best […]
iPhone Annoyances #7
26Sep07No games. Sure, we all know that one, but you don’t realize how annoying it is until you’re waiting in line for something. Every smartphone I’ve owned came with some little puzzle game that was great for killing time in 10-minute increments.
