Ok, I’m really ticked off. I’ve been on AT&T for the last year and a few months, the service at my house has been stellar, but when I travel outside of DC it’s practically unusable. I’ve been on their lowest available plan all this time the 550 a month plan because I generally don’t talk […]

iPad 3G Issues
Many reported issues with their iPad 3Gs over the weekend. Everything from slow and spotty connections to not being able to play some plugins that use video – the ABC App won’t play at all, YouTube and Netflix being downsampled into oblivion. I don’t know why I expected anything different from AT&T. I know my […]
iPad 3G has landed
The iPad 3G has arrived. I do find it odd that they are going to start selling it at retail at 5pm today. How silly is that? I know I love to rag on the iPad, but I’ll probably end up getting the 3G version sometime late next week. I really want to buy it […]
Adobe CS5 Now Shipping, Apple be damned!
Adobe started shipping their latest and greatest collection of way overpriced apps today, Adobe CS5. I’ve been playing with an early release of this the last few days and will hopefully have a full review next week. I’m particularly interested in playing with the Flash to Apple Tool and seeing if I can get an […]
HTC Droid Incredible Officially Announced!
It’s been rumored for months, but you all know I don’t like to play the rumor game. It’s now official, Verizon and HTC announced the HTC Droid Incredible today at some event called 99% Conference – is it possible to come up with a dumber name for a conference than this? You go to the […]
Adobe Responds to Apple’s Recent Smackdown
Yesterday Apple updated their Development rules to exclude Apps created with 3rd party tools like Adobe’s upcoming CS5 which is touting the ability to port Flash and other CS5 developed apps directly to the iPhone via a conversion tool. I asked the folks at Adobe for a comment and they came back with this generic […]
Michelle’s iPad Woes. Ipad is iCrap, iPoop, an iBrick!
Believe it or not, the iPad is the first consumer electronic product that I ever bought on Day 1. Not only that but I stood in line for what I knew was a pointless piece of hardware to buy. Instead of listening to my head, I let my need for something new and “different” overwhelm […]
Michelle hates her iPad and is Returning it!
Ok, boys and girls your fearless leader took a few minutes out of her WonderCon day and purchased a 64 Gig iPad. I went to the store at about 12:30 pm and didn’t think the store would have anymore, it turns out they had plenty, but I had to wait in line and it would […]
Michelle’s iPad Review will be late
I know no one visits this site for my ramblings on the state of the tech world, but my review of the iPad is going to be late because I decided to wait for the 3G Version. A few weeks ago, I wrote that I had preordered the 64 GB WiFi version of the iPad. […]
Two New Jesus Phones, one coming to Verizon!
The big Apple rumor of the day is they are working on two new Jesus Phones. If they hold to their pattern, they’ll probably announce brand new iPhones in June. The earth shattering news is the iPhone could finally come to Verizon this summer. I like my iPhone and AT&T well enough while I’m here […]
Sherwood’s Netboxx is a Strong Surround Sound System, Weak Internet Appliance. Michelle’s Review
A few weeks ago I received a review unit of Sherwood’s Netboxx 7.1 Surround Sound receiver. At $649 clams (you can get it on Amazon for under $500) I kind of expected this thing to come with some speakers and a nice base subwoofer, but nope, it was just the receiver. Luckily after a few […]
