Look out Apple: Amazon launches Mac App Download Store
When I first read the headline “Amazon launches Mac Download Store“, I thought it was an Onion headline. Somehow it almost seemed akin to Amazon building it’s own Macs for some reason. Yet, sure enough, it DOES exist, and just as the Amazon music store beats Apple’s iTunes in most ways, it looks like Amazon’s Mac App Store is also out doing Apple’s... Read More
Anyone else think it’s time for Apple for to remove the word “unexpectedly” from this error?
Is it just me or is this getting worse lately? Read More
Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton coming to iTunes
As long-time readers know, and short-term readers can probably guess, nothing scares me more than the thought of going to a wedding. I have long said I would rather go to 10 funerals than one wedding, and not simply because I know more people I would rather see dead than happily paired off (although there is probably something to that). No, for me as a non-drinker, non-dancing,... Read More
AT&T eats T-Mobile and I am FURIOUS!
Now THAT’S a Super Moon!” While everyone was distracted looking at that EXTREMELY over-hyped Super Moon this weekend (seriously, what was the big deal? It looked the same as always here…) AT&T announced it plans to buy T-Mobile for $39 billion. This is apparently cause for everyone to run around in circles screaming, because it means there will now really... Read More
Things I didn’t mention yet- Bon Jovi, Apple Stock, and Naked Mime Chicks
I’ve been pretty busy lately, mainly trying to beat @marcusmichaels at Tiny Wings (and failing miserably) – so there’s a couple Apple-related things I haven’t gotten a chance to comment on. So let’s fix that. It’s kind of hard to argue with Jon Bon Jesus First up: Jon Bon Jovi says Steve Jobs is “personally responsible for killing the music business”.... Read More
New MacBook Pros showcase why Apple fans suck
As much as one can feel bad for a company with the 2nd-highest market capitalization in the world, I must say I really felt for Apple during this week’s MacBook Pro launch. No sooner had the MacBooks hit the online store then the apathetic headlines and forum posts began flooding the interwebs. The terms “underwhelming” and “modest upgrades” were... Read More
Will Apple approve Smuggle Truck?
Billed as “The Premiere smuggling game on the App Store”, Owlchemy Labs’ upcoming Smuggle Truck looks on the surface to be a very well made and cool looking physics-oriented driving game. Of course, looks aren’t everything, and some Mexican Americans are apparently up in brazos over the game a full two months before its slated release date. Why? Well, as... Read More
Well, in THEORY, at least
Looks like AT&T has decided to fight the Verizon iPhone by pointing out how Verizon doesn’t let you talk and surf at the same time. Of course, they neglect to mention that quite often you can’t talk on AT&T PERIOD… But all AT&T bashing aside, I have yet to see any real reason why an AT&T customer would switch to Verizon. Maybe it’s just... Read More
Should we be worried that Verizon hasn’t told us what its iPhone plans will cost?
So today Verizon and Apple held a press conference to announce that the iPhone would finally be available on Verizon’s outdated, but more reliable, CDMA network. Hooray. And as happy as I am for Verizon customers, AT&T customers looking to jump ship, app developers who will suddenly have millions more people ready to buy their apps, and everyone overseas who couldn’t...

How many “banned” apps do you own?
I think I’m up to 5 now that Apple has pulled Quick Snap. The first banned app I ever snagged was the legendary Netshare, the first app on the US app store to allow tethering on the iPhone, and the first to be pulled. This was followed by MiTube (the YouTube video downloader), then HandyLight (the sneaky Tethering app which masqueraded as a lame flashlight app – do not... Read More
