Posted on 21 March 2007 by

Why is it that stupid people always have too much money? Take a look at this auction, and you'll understand what I mean. I just can't get my head around the thought process that goes into something like this. I'm not talking about the person selling the fake item, I get that. They just want to make some quick cash off ... continued »

No JAJAH on the iPhone?

Posted on 21 March 2007 by

Bad news for users hoping to use JAJAH VoIP on their iPhone. It seems that ATT/Cingular doesn't take kindly to free conference call services.

Posted on 20 March 2007 by

It seems that Apple has updated its iSync software to include support for a bunch of new phones. That's great, you can't support too many phones. But looking through the list, there's one important phone that is still missing. Yes, the iPhone still doesn't make the cut. What does that mean? Honestly, I don't really think it means anything.

iPhone already being sold?

Posted on 19 March 2007 by

Yes folks, someone is selling an iPhone. Though neither Apple or Cisco will be seeing the profits from this one. The iPhone has inspired many other companies to rethink the way phones are designed, and many iphone “clones” have been floating around. This is one of the first iPhone “rip-offs” that I've seen thus far. At least you won't have to worry ... continued »
