I recently decided to bite the bullet and get Netflix for my family. My super home theatre plans are indefinitely on hold, and until that changes, I figured that Netflix was the best way to go. For $8.99 a month, I get as many DVDs sent to my house as I can watch (one at […]
The Long Strange trip of my iPad Camera Connection Kit
The day before the iPad Wi-Fi+3G was announced, I went to my local Apple store to talk to an employee about how the process was going to be handled. While I was there, she mentioned that I should buy my accessories now, because soon they would be out of stock and I’d want to get […]
iPad 3G Class Action Lawsuit Expanded
I bought an iPad Wi-Fi+3G model for one reason: road trips. My logic was that if I needed to use an internet connection on the road for my laptop, that most times I could get away with using the 3G in the iPad instead. For $30, I’d have unlimited data, and that was cheaper than […]
Apple Has Sold Even More iPads
When the Unicorn Tablet was first released, many people said that it just wasn’t going to sell. Just 21 days ago, I said that apparently, everyone either wants or has an iPad. I guess those people who wanted it bought one, because Apple announced yesterday that they’ve sold three million iPads in 80 days. Wow. […]
Find My iPhone App Released
To say that I pay $99 a year for MobileMe is not an accurate statement. I paid $99 back in 2008 when I got my first iPhone, and since then I’ve been paying $69, mainly because I buy a new Apple product at least once a year which typically allows me to renew my contract […]
The iPad and my Mom – One Week Later
Frequent readers of this blog may recall that last week I bought my mom an iPad for mother’s day. Not only did I instantly win a “Best Son Ever” award, I think I may have converted her into a Mac fan. My mother works with my dad at their software company, where she handes all […]
Make the Neighbors Jealous With Your Gold & Diamond iPad
We’ve talked about Stuart Hughes here on AG before, and it never ceases to amaze me how much money people will spend on a product. For example, take this gold and diamond-encrusted iPad. Please. For the most elite individual, we bring you the worlds 1st solid gold and diamond ipad. Encrusted with 25.5 cts of […]
MobileMe Mail Evolves – Rumors Swirl
You know MobileMe, right? For $99 a year, MobileMe syncs your iPad, iPhone, Mac and PC all together, making sure your contacts, calendars and e-mail is all working in glorious harmony. There’s also an online gallery, iDisk – a version of Dropbox by Apple – and Find My iPhone. The price seems a little bit […]
The Case for an Expensive Case
I love cases. I’m not sure exactly why, but I think it has something to do with my ridiculously anal organizational tendencies. I prefer the feeling that everything has its place, and it’s protected along the way. Since the last case didn’t work out, I’ve been hunting for that messenger bag of my dreams, and […]
Lulu Offering Books in iBooks Store
I’ve got a little bit of a secret to tell, and I feel like I should get it off my chest. Here goes. I’m working on a book. Actually, I’ve been working on a few different books over the years, but I haven’t actually had the nerve to push forward and try to get them […]
iWork Suite for iPad Making Metric Tons of Money
When I first bought my very first Mac, I bought Office 2004 with it, as my security blanket. Now I find myself using the iWork suite more and more, mostly because of its ease of use and really cool features. I love me a spreadsheet, but it’s got to look good, too. Numbers does that […]
The iPad and Printing
I can’t get over this picture, it gets me every time. As it turns out though, there may be something coming down the pike.I’m not one to report on rumors, but MacRumors has Steve’s latest e-mail (he’s been quite vocal, recently) and it’s pretty clear. The question: Dear Steve, Why no printing on the iPad? […]
Productivity Killer: Marvel Comics on the iPad
My life’s hobbies have come in phases. I started with Legos, and obsessed over them for years. Then I sold all of my Legos in a mammoth garage sale, and started my comic collection. For the next few years – until I moved on to the next hobby, cars – I lived in the world […]
Mother’s Day and the iPad
A little over a week ago, I was with my wife and we were discussing what to get my Mom for mother’s day. For the past two years, we’ve been wanting to get her an iMac for either Christmas or her birthday. Of course, that’s a lot of money, and it’s not like we could […]
ClamCase: Make Your iPad a Cheap MacBook
When the iPad first came out, many people thought that it would be a lot better if it was a laptop. I’m not really sure why, but it was a hot topic at the time. Turns out that someone else had that same idea, so they went out and made it happen. It’s called the […]
