Summary iPhone Alarm does not loop, large gap between end and start Description Set an alarm on your iPhone Let the alarm start ringing Expected: Alarm tone should sound and continue to repeat until dismissed. When tone is repeated there should be no gap between the end and the start of the tone. Actual: Very…

Final verdict: More barebones than iMovie and only exports WMV. Useable and easy but falls short for Jack. As you know, I’m in the midst of seeing if I could switch back to Windows. Using Windows Live Movie Maker made me miss iMovie dearly. Mostly because iMovie is very familiar to me and I was…

I was pulled into a late meeting at work yesterday between my team. After we got the official business out of the way, we started talking about random stuff as armchair analysts of the computer industries. Stuff like the deal between Microsoft and Yahoo, Google’s current state of innovation and its investor appeal, and pondering…

The data I share between my phone, my laptop and my PC.

This blog isn’t sponsored in anyway whatsoever (I’m lying, today’s episode was brought to you by the letter ‘F’), but I like to give shout-outs now and again. I’m a humble consumer and I’m pretty happy when a seller does that little bit extra for me. This is a big part of why I love…

Ok blah blah. This is all I talk about these days. Let’s get this out of the way and then we can start making out. I figure I should tell you the bad things because Apple has very powerful marketing and you’re just one tiny middle-class person with a burning desire to express your individualism…

I said I would revisit buying the iPhone in a month’s time so here I am. In terms of coolness, I want the iPhone 3G more than ever. It lives up to the expectations I had, the App Store looks like it’s the bee’s pajamas. My one reservation would be the battery life. I never…

A few of my friends read my post about wanting an iPhone and they couldn’t understand why I would even think about paying so much for mobile internet. I don’t blame them. I feel exactly the same way about the ability to phone someone whenever you want to. I mean, it made sense back in…

Lately, I’ve been thinking hard about how I could magically afford an iPhone. Personally, I hate hate hate ongoing fees and I would rather put up with the upfront costs so I’m going to show the total cost over the mandatory 24-month contract.

Ok, keynote is over. I was busy refreshing the live Gizmodo site and Fake Steve’s Twitter for that whole 90 minutes. How did my predictions for the keynote turn out? I’d pretty much say they were all wrong. My iPhone predictions were correct but I was just regurgitating the news of the leaked update anyway….

So in about 10 days or so, Macworld Conference & Expo 2008 will start. All the Apple rumors sites are gearing up to try and figure out exactly what it is Steve Jobs will be announcing to the world. In 2006, Jobs announced the transition from PowerPC to Intel processors. While that means nothing to…

Quicksilver Wallpaper by Sigalakos For those fans of the Mac’s most indispensible utility, Quicksilver, you’ll have noticed the site has been down for a few days. Rest assured, MacUpdate has a mirror of Beta 52, Build 3813. I can tell you that in Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5), Quicksilver no longer incorrectly appears up in…

The iPhone. I sat down at this table of bloggers and this guy was more than happy to show off his iPhone. It’s about as I imagined and I don’t know if it was the intuitive interface or the sheer amount of iPhone knowledge that I have but everything made sense. I browsed around, I…

There was a big meeting today and the speaker promised a surprise at the end. When I heard this I got really excited. Like, “Wow, maybe we’re all getting free iPhones.” This was not the case. It seems the only presentations I watch today are Steve Jobs’ keynotes and I expect surprises at the end…

For those that don’t know, I don’t own a car. I’d like to own a car but really, I don’t need one. Worst case scenario: I might spend $50 on cab fare if I go out on both a Friday and a Saturday night. It has never happened. The weird thing about not owning a…

You know what is the best thing coming out of Apple right now? It’s not the iPod. It’s not the newly bumped-up MacBooks; it’s not the mighty MacBook Pro; not the iPod shuffle; not the 8-core Mac Pro and not that little teevee box they done have. It’s not even Steve Jobs and his turtleneck…

You guys know the light bulb riddle right? You would have studied it at some point if you are a computer scientist and you’ve ever had to go to a job interview. It is the sort of ridiculous question they will never ever ask at an interview but people believe they might anyway. Vancouver is…

Yes, the iPhone is real and it’s out. Big photo Apple iPhone More photos here. 4GB model will be US$499 with a two-year contract. 8GB model will sell for US$599. Available in the United States in June. People are speculating that Australia won’t see it until 2008. Specs only one button big ol’ touchscreen wireless…
