Verizon gets to end up with the iPhone. I’m sorry.
Verizon’s been building up over the last week to this supposedly major announcement to happen today. Today came and went, and the biggest thing to come out of that announcement? The iPhone. Naturally, there’s a sort of but not really appropriate level of fanpeopleism over it–it’s an Apple product; what’d … Read the rest

Mac app store jailbroken after a day. Now who didn’t see that coming?
last week, the app store for Mac OS was released to the general public. No more than 24 hours later, it’s been cracked for the general public. You probably didn’t need a crystal ball to see this coming–try and lock something down, and you’re only challenging people to find ways … Read the rest

A very small note to Windows mobile.
When I try a quick and dirty hack to convince you to send mail through an alternate port, that would be the time for you to decide to send the offending email. Not after the account has been appropriately whiped from the system, and then subsequently reentered. And certainly not … Read the rest

Once again, I called it. Apple’s software download site? Dead.
A few months ago, I dared to predict Apple would be slowly herding developers and users to their new app store for the mac in place of the ability to download apps of their choice from other sources. One such other source, which is currently accessible on Mac OSX, is … Read the rest

Update: Delicious isn’t dead. Yet.
Fans of the previously mentioned Delicious website may be entitled to a tiny little bit of cellebratory partying. According to clarifications that floated across my desk today, they’re possibly not, in fact, shutting down. Updates directly from Yahoo!, courtesy Shane’s blog, indicate they may be selling off the service … Read the rest

If a delicious falls off the internet, does anyone notice?
I don’t know anyone who’s ever actually used Delicious, or del.icio.us if you’d prefer, with the exception of maybe those folks over at Lifehacker. Yeah, in spite of the fact damn near every social networking plugin/add-on for a website has the service available–nearly as available as Facebook. … Read the rest

So long, TekSavvy. It’s been fun.
I used to be in love with TekSavvy. I recommended the thing to anyone looking to escape the clutches of Bell Canada. Their plans were awesome, their service rocked my world, the lack of bandwidth restrictions made my geek heart do the happy dance. And on the rare … Read the rest

Attention 1310 news: there is nothing “special” about Victoria’s stolen iPhone.
Sometime last week, a University of Ottawa student wound up needing to replace her iPhone. Someone decided she didn’t really need the one she had, so offered–rather forcefully–to take it off her hands. Two things make it headline worthy, according to 1310 news–one of which is untrue. The girl in … Read the rest

Warp 1, engage! No, seriously.
This is kinda nifty. Scientists apparently may have just found a way to contain antimatter. For the trekkies among the readership, you already get the references. For everyone else, have this as an explanation. “This is science fiction become science fact,” he said in an interview Wednesday. Antimatter is one … Read the rest

Email is dead. Unless you don’t use Facebook. But then you don’t care.
Every so often, something will come along that threatens to kill email. And nearly as often, that ends up dying instead. And now, as of yesterday, Facebook has its own answer to email–and it’s even being advertised as something to give Gmail, Microsoft etc a run for their money. Before … Read the rest
