As many of you know, Macs can name a file anything. And I mean anything.
You can name files using !, /, ?, “, etc…
On windows, you cannot use these symbols, or certain words. For example, you cannot make a folder and name it “con” (no quotes). You can do this on a Mac.
I know it [...]

Push mail is the only reason that I personally would pay for MobileMe.
I know that it has other features, but they don’t appeal to me. While they may apply to others, they just don’t do it for me. I have no use for most of them. I use my iPhone for all my mail though. [...]

I am a huge Zune fan, and when they made sure there was no chance of a Zune phone, I was sad and waited a month or 2 hoping there would be a glimmer of the Zune phone.
I didn’t see any light. I went ahead and ordered my iPhone on July 15th. A few days [...]

I just updated my version of AppDelete. I found out that you actually are forced to donate money in order to use it. It’s not an annoyance to you by popping up and counting down until you can use the program. It actually just won’t let you use the program until you actually donate 5 [...]

AT&T has decided to prevent you from seeing someone’s name when searching by order number. How? By removing the option of using order number. Wouldn’t it be easier to just remove someone’s whole name? Now we can’t use queue programs like www.whereismydamniphone.com. I was very upset with this until I checked my order status and found [...]

I don’t know if anyone else on lockergnome, or anyone who reads lockergnome, has used AT&T’s direct fulfillment to get an iPhone. From what I can tell on AT&T’s forums, they are going in a random order for people who ordered the same phone from the same store. What I mean by that is if [...]

If anyone saw the Photo frame on Woot Sellout last week, it looked like a good deal. I got mine in the mail and I will say, it is costly at 100 dollars, but still worth more.
The colors are ok, and it doesn’t have the greatest viewing angle, but its a 12″ photo frame for [...]

This may come as a ShOcK, but there are no iPhones available in my area. I decided I wanted one, so I just went to the Apple store to get one. They told me I had to wait anywhere from 2 to 6 hours in line.
I don’t want to wait in a line in Texas [...]

I’m back home and will start adding new posts regularly now.

In Illinois at the moment. Going to go to Niagra Falls. I may not get to do any cool tech stuff for a while. Depends on if I get bored on the road.Go to Flickr to see my pictures as I update.
