Data Whore: Why I Splurged on a 64GB iPhone 4S

Frustrated to near tears the other night I rang Verizon Wireless and asked if I could upgrade three weeks early. The nice southern belle on the phone got manager approval to do so and recommended, after I asked about size, the 16GB iPhone. I was thinking even if it wasn’t big enough, I’d have a lot [...]

Tiny Watch Productions For President

There is a god and he started tinywatchproductions. If you haven’t seen any of these videos, you are missing out on a real laugh. My cousin first sent me the iPhone video. Then I added them to my YouTube favorites. Now I’m a total junkie. From explaining “the Quantitative Easing” while slamming “the Goldman Sachs,” to making fun of Steve [...]

Apple: A Giant Underdog?

It seems no matter how big Apple grows, it always maintains underdog status. The U.S. government’s supposed antitrust investigations (WSJ) are insanely arbitrary and their regulation of food, media and technology equally random. In recent months, anyone that reads a major metropolitan newspaper would have learned that GMO alfalfa is OK, but Apple taking a hefty [...]

The Baby Boomers’ Internet Radio

It may come as a surprise, but there are some people that don’t bow to the Apple Gods. Don’t tell Steve. Though I confess to joining the Apple computing cult, I don’t love Apple enough to switch to AT&T for wireless phone service and contrary to what Americans think, I still think the iTouch and [...]

Beauty To Go

I don’t believe in holiday spending binges, $500 skin creams, New Year’s resolutions, or fad diets. But, in moderation, shopping, nutritional adjustments, short-term goals, and skincare treatments can be paths to temporary happiness. A new lip gloss, a laser facial, or a three-day juice feast may not change your life, but for a few minutes, [...]

BlackBerry Tablet Coming In March?

Will Flash and a secure Enterprise-friendly operating system be enough to lure luxury market consumers and business executives to purchase the Playbook from BlackBerry maker Research in Motion? To the consumer, Flash is a big deal and the promise of a touch screen tablet with the capability to run Flash and Java might be enough to spur sales. But, [...]

Google To Foot WiFi Bill For Holiday Flights

On November 8 search giant Google announced a partnership with AirTran, Delta, and Richard Branson’s Virgin America to offer free Gogo Inflight Internet to passengers during the holiday season. Travelers flying on AirTran, Delta or Virgin America between November 20, 2010 and January 2, 2011 will get free wireless Internet access on domestic flights, to [...]

Coffee 2.0

Is it possible New Yorkers are so much busier than everyone else in the world that prepaid lattes are necessary? This is a theory Seattle-based coffee giant Starbucks is testing out, with a new service available in NYC and Long Island. Available at 300 locations to start, the Starbucks Card Mobile App is available on [...]

Apple iPad: Coming to a Verizon Store Near You

Verizon Wireless customers everywhere are doing a happy dance because the cell network announced it will start selling the luxury tablet from Apple before the end of the month. The news that Verizon Wireless will start selling the Apple iPad on October 28 makes the rumors of a Verizon iPhone more plausible because now there [...]

BlackBerry-Apple Harmony

BlackBerry users are loyal because we sleep with the smartphone and have grown accustomed to the keyboard, which enables typing at standard work speed. When AT&T launched the Torch , CrackBerry users were hoping it would quell the desire to one day switch to the iPhone. That didn’t happen because the pressure to move the [...]
