Apple’s WWDC keynote yesterday was probably one of the more exciting one’s we’ve seen for a while now. We got a few quick looks at Snow Leopard (and it’s amazing $29 price tag) and we got the big announcement of the new iPhone. I for one was completely excited. Unfortunately, there’s a huge stink brewing on the internet from iPhone 3G[pre-s] customers who are upset that they wont be able to take advantage of the $199 and $299 price points. To those people I’d like to say the following: “Owning a iPhone 3G[pre-s] is not different than owning a Blackberry, Motorola, or any other cell phone. If you’re ineligible for an upgrade, you have to pay more”.

Earlier today I was joking around with some of my friends at work. One of them made a comment about Marine’s being brainwashed and I immediately started screaming the Marine Corps Rifleman’s Creed. Well, at least to the best of my ability. This resulted in us doing a quick Google search, studying up on the actual creed, and eventually giving me the brilliant idea to appropriate the text and create the Mac User’s Creed. And this is what I came up with. Click here to read more »
I know that just last Friday I wrote a blog post about my intention to buy the new 3G iPhone, but I guess I’ve had a little change of heart since then. It’s not really that I want the phone any less, it’s just that I’m feeling more and more satisfied with my current phone. The fact of the matter is that I honestly can’t justify the cost and the rate increase for what little of an upgrade it actually turns out to be. Click here to read more »
From the moment I unboxed my original EDGE iPhone, waited more than 10 seconds for a webpage to load, and maxed out its hard drive with one video and a few CD’s, I knew I would one day buy it’s successor. Then when the SDK was announced and they admitted the iPhone 3G’s existence, I committed to buying one right away. Finally, when I found out that my Bush Stimulus check would be arriving the same day of the subsidized phone, I decided it was fate (lol). So this morning I decided to take a little stroll over to the ATT store to fulfill my destiny. This is what happened instead.
So this morning I woke up a little earlier than normal with hopes of possibly procuring an iPhone. I normally wouldn’t want to pick one up on Launch day (because of the mayhem), but I’m going on a camping trip this weekend and I won’t be able to pick one up till later next week. So, without too much expectation, I decided to just drive by a few ATT stores on my way into work Click here to read more »
Have you ever noticed how irrationally overprotective we are over new possessions when we get them? It doesn’t even seem to matter how expensive or how fragile the object is. For some reason during the first few days or weeks, we act as if that new toy or gadget, is made of glass. The strangest part about this condition, which I am dubbing “The ‘Oh no, it’s new’ Effect”, is that after a short time the protective nature is replaced by an almost negligent behavior towards the possession. Take for instance, my new MacBook Pro. Click here to read more »
