Apple tablet? Just say no.

I keep reading stories about how the long rumored Apple tablet computer is just around the corner and how great it will be.  People on sites like Macrumors.com and technology blogs all seem to be looking forward to the day when they can finally see this mythical computing device brought forth by Steve Jobs at some [...]

Jail-Broken iPhones Vulnerable to Rick-Rolls

It was recently reported that jail-broken iPhone users in Australia were getting hit by a virus that was changing their desktop backgrounds to a picture of Rick Astley with an ominous message that “ikee is never going to give you up”.  While the attack may seem humorous to the outside observer, it is probably pretty [...]

Windows 7 in for a rough ride?

The biggest problem I heard about Windows Vista was that it broke people’s old programs.  No one wanted to change their lives around by purchasing new printers, peripherals, or software to do the work that they had gotten done with few problems in XP.  Here comes Windows 7 and it has not promised any new [...]

National hide-your-kid-from-Obama day?

A lot has been made recently about an upcoming video broadcast by the President to millions of school children in order to talk about goals and the importance of education.  Some conservative groups and conservative commentators have even gone so far as to push forward the idea of a national day to keep your kids [...]

NFL bans Twitter

The National Football League recently announced a new ban on the social media site Twitter 90 minutes before a game starts and continuing until after the press conferences have been concluded.  They have not given a clear reason for this but one can assume that it has a lot to do with protecting their image.
