Nikon D5000 recalled so got a Canon EOS 500D (T1i), a quick comparison

About 3 weeks ago I bought a Nikon D5000 as my first DSLR and I was thrilled with the pictures it took. Not only was it extremely easy to use for a total photography newb but it also made me look like a much better photographer than I was. Can't complain about that. All was well until a little while ago when Nikon published that they had found a fatal flaw in the circuitry of the D5000 and would need to recall [...]

Leaving AT&T for Sprint….something I never thought I’d do

So I recently moved away from the iPhone 3G to a Palm Pre, and as a result from AT&T to Sprint. This is something that I never thought would happen but the more time goes by the better I feel about it. To start with, AT&T's 3G service is a complete joke unless you're in the middle of nowhere and that place happens to have 3G service which are usually mutually exclusive. Why you ask? Because AT&T's n [...]

Yes, I got an iPhone…the irony doesn’t escape me

After writing a rather scathing post on the iPhone and posting quite a few negative things about it, I decided to put my money where my mouth is and give it a shot. It turned out that the AT&T store near me had quite a few in stock and not a ridiculous amount of people waiting for one so I got one on Friday, June 29th at 6:05pm! The reason I decided to even give it a shot is I came to the realization that th [...]

11 iPhone Gotchas (Drawbacks)

Want an iPhone? Of course you do. It looks sexy, it's innovative, and--for a while at least--it'll be the ultimate status symbol. But in the fog of iPhone hype, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that the latest Apple sensation will still have its share of disadvantages. read more | digg story [...]

All-in-one iPhone looks nifty, but should you put it on hold?

The iPhone's battleground is outside the home, where for nearly a decade, digital alchemists have searched for the ultimate hand-held gizmo: a true all-in-one device that will not only make phone calls, play music, e-mail, manage an appointment calendar and take pictures but also surf the Web. This type of device has been done many times but never well. read more | digg story [...]

Dell Selling PCs and Laptop Preloaded with Ubuntu Linux

In what can only be called as perhaps one of the biggest if not the biggest milestone for desktop Linux in recent history, Dell recently starting sell three systems (2 desktops and one laptop) that come pre-loaded with Ubuntu Linux. I used Ubuntu for quite some time now and the newest release, Ubuntu 7.04 is a huge improvement from last year's 6.06 release but it's still got a while to go yet. First of all, Ubu [...]

5 Problems With the Upcoming Apple iPhone

Ok, lets get it out of the way. This is only my personal opinion and should only be taken as such especially by the Apple faithful. So where to start? Well as everyone probably knows a while back now Apple commander-in-chief Steve Jobs announced the iPhone and the Apple world collectively starting weeping with joy. Mind you a lot of folks who aren't real hardcore Apple users were also mesmerized by the shiny de [...]

First public beta of JiveTalk for Blackberry released

I just tried out this killer multi-client chat app and it truly is an evolution from previous chat applications for the Blackberry. It's currently in public beta so it's free during this time, although not sure what they're thinking of charging once it's officially released. I highly recommend anybody who is remotely curious - no anyone who HAS a Blackberry - go to www.beejive.com/download on your Blackberry bro [...]
