Syncing iPhone Contacts with Google Contacts using iTunes 8
Apparently this popped up in iTunes 7.7 but I didn’t notice it until 8.0 and I haven’t seen anyone write anything up about it online. It looks like iTunes added the ability to sync to Google Contacts (thank the gods) from iTunes when syncing your iPhone (or iPod) with your computer. Unfortunately in 7.7 when the feature [...]

Monday, September 15, 2008
Our friend Grant has been complaining for a couple of weeks on how long it takes to sync his iPhone, and the newly released update 2.1 offers no help. It seems as though many people are having the same problem. But this takes the cake….. for Brandon Lusk it takes 8 hours! Seriously Apple? And Apple, [...]

Thursday, August 28, 2008
Todd Swarthout just sent this interesting bit in, it looks Bloomberg News goofed a publication this morning when they accidentally sent the obituary for Steve Jobs (who is fine BTW) out to their external wire of subscribers (instead of to the internal wire only). The story was pulled 30 seconds later. As it turns out, pre-writing [...]

Sunday, July 20, 2008
Remember 10 years ago when voice-recognition and Dragon Naturally Typing was going to replace the keyboard? Yea that didn’t quite pan out how we all thought… I think at some point we were going to replace the mouse with eye-tracking lasers on the monitor and then some sort of brain-tie-in that would tell when you “clicked” [...]

They say that the chain is only as strong as the weakest link… unfortunately for you, if that weakest link is a retarded Customer Service Rep at Apple and he’s reading an email that says: am forget my password of mac,did you give me password on new email marko.[redacted]@yahoo.com And decides “Heck, I should probably email this [...]

Tuesday, June 10, 2008
We have covered it here before that Apple got the long… really-long end of the stick when they partnered up with AT&T for the iPhone 1. Not only were they getting full price for their devices on each sale, but also a portion of the service contract, while AT&T got the rest. It seems that with [...]

Monday, June 9, 2008
In an effort to “lock this bitch down” AT&T seems to be done placating Apple and letting folks buy the phone, take it home and JailBreak it. It looks like the new iPhone is going to require in-store activation along with requiring more expensive AT&T standard data/voice services to function. I think the days of buying [...]
