Is this perhaps the worst leak out there? There’s a video on YouTube with what appears to be an Apple Tablet, despite the name on the top of it as TimeInc.
Perhaps this is one of the video demos from today’s Apple release?
You be the judge!

That’s right, I just sold my 2006 15″ Macbook Pro, and now I’ve picked up a brand new 13″ Macbook Aluminum uni-body design.
I was a bit skeptical of the black keys and black around the screen, but I must say that I’m quite pleased with it, and the design has grown on me.
I was able [...]

So, the phone came, I’ve put a few apps on it. One of them is for wordpress so I can blog super-easy and upload photos right from my phone.
I’ve also got this addictive bowling game. It uses the motion sensing within the phone… If you have an iPhone checkout ibowl.
Attached is the first photo I’ve [...]

Well, so far I don’t have my iPhone yet. I spoke with a CSR at Rogers, and there’s no tracking details, which means the order hasn’t been processed.
Anyone want to place their bets on when I’ll get it?

I’ve been debating switching over to Rogers for about 3 years. I’ve called in several times to see what they could offer me, and nothing has been able to beat my Bell plan.
Over the last week or so, I decided to start calling in to sign up and port my number from Bell to Rogers, [...]

Ok – not sure why Microsoft decided not to make this an option in their software. Actually, it’s something that’s annoyed me for about 2 years now. There’s no option (per e-mail basis) that allows someone using it to set a read receipt for an e-mail. It’s pretty basic functionality that’s been available on various [...]

I’ve been having a problem with audio since I upgraded to Parallels v. 3 rev. 4120. It just doesn’t work. Also they claim that the iSight works in v3. Not the case. Mine doesn’t work. Maybe the next version will work properly.

iWant one of these… it’s the ultimate in geekdom. The phone runs a version of OS X, which means that it [...]
