Working for your Phone
Another great quote from Woz regarding Android. This quote comes from the same article as before, by the same moron:
if you’re willing to do the work to understand it a little bit, well I hate to say it, but there’s more available in some ways
Woz is 100% correct here, Android, specifically ICS, is a better more flexible and stronger platform than iOS, if you are willing to do the work. That...

iPhone is the least frightening thing
Steve Wozniak as quoted in an interview with an idiot:
The people I recommend the iPhone 4S for are the ones who are already in the Mac world, because it’s so compatible, and people who are just scared of computers altogether and don’t want to use them. The iPhone is the least frightening thing. For that kind of person who is scared of complexity, well, here’s a phone that is simple to use and...

Acer introduces totally unique cloud picture...
From The Verge:
Now where have I seen this before……
UPDATE: For the record, I posted this a full 5 minutes before The Verge…..
UPDATE 2: The more I look at Acer’s picture I realize that I am almost certain that font utilized is the same font used in Apple’s iconic “Think Different” campaign (Garamond). Irony at it’s best.

Things Apple won't do
Part two of my series of things Apple won’t do comes to us from Appleinsider. They claim that Apple is set to release the new retina-sporting iPad 3 coming in March. So far so good. Unfortunately, the article did not stop here, but instead suggested that in October Apple would release an “iPad 4” with “killer apps”.
Last year there were similar rumors from sites...

STRIP Act
While as a whole I have had no real issues dealing with TSA agents (over roughly 60 domestic flights in the past 24 months), it would still bring me great pleasure to see them forced to wear a uniform that better describes their authority.
At the end of the day, they aren’t cops, just screeners who can prevent you from boarding a plane.

LTE Nokia Windows Phones Coming Soon....
The Verge has scooped that the AT&T LTE infused Nokia Lumia 900 will be launching next week at CES.
There are only two points about this I find interesting at all:
The 900 is rumored to launch support the 1700mhz 3g band, likely as it was being built in the days of an AT&T/T-Mobile unification.
The phone is STILL running WVGA resolution.
At this point, Windows Phone is consistent at...

Apple NOT to release $299 a6 iPad
According to a report from Digitimes today Apple is gearing up to release a cheaper iPad to compete directly with the Kindle Fire.
The report claims that such an iPad would be based internally on the a6, but feature the same panel on the iPad 2 allowing them to sell it for $299.
My predictions:
There is a 0% chance Apple will sell an iPad, with an a6, for $299. If, and this is a HUGE if, Apple...
