That is obviously a 15″ MacBook Pro claiming to be a 17″ MacBook Pro.

That is not attention to detail.

I actually think that mine could. 

When I got my iPhone in July, I thought at first that something was wrong with the glass covering on the screen. It was nothing major. Just that it seemed like it sunk down in the bottom right and slightly in the top right, and the bottom left. When I was playing around with other’s iPhones and iPhone 3G’s, I noticed theirs did not. It is nothing major, there is no gap (except a slight hairline one that you can see the backlight through when its dark), so this must be either a defect in my phone, or something I did. Seeing as it was like this when I got it in the AT&T store, I am ruling myself out. The sales associate opened the box in front of me and I didn’t see here do anything that could have caused it, so she is not to blame either. I want to believe that it was either a factory defect, or the iPhone 3G I played with had a defect and didn’t  have this. I don’t think that is likely.

If you know anything about this, or have this as well, let me know. Remember, this is not a problem. This is just something small I noticed. I don’t feel like it is to the point where I should try to return it, but I also don’t think that Apple should use such shoddy workmanship on something they take great pride in (supposedly all of their products, but whatever)

Just leave a comment and let me know!

I have a zune pass, so all my views are based on that. Microsoft made MixView similar to Genius, but with a small exception. That is that with iTunes, it seemed like everything it suggested I didn’t have. I think this may be a move to get even more people buying from iTunes, but zune suggested a few things that I had, and the others I just downloaded because I have a zune pass. Very convenient. Something I was confused by happened a few days ago, I had Flobots playing and Genius recommended all these Black Eyed Peas albums. Now, don’t get me wrong, I have no problem with Black Eyed Peas, but I couldn’t see how this related to Flobots. I used the zune marketplace and used MixView and it also suggested Black Eyed Peas. I moused over it in the zune marketplace and it actually told me why. Black Eyed Peas and Rage against the Machine are related artists and Rage is inspired by the Flobots apparently. I actually learned something new from music. I was also recommended to people who listen to a lot of the same music as me, so I was able to listen to their recents.

The zune marketplace, zune pass, and zune 120 make a seamless music/social networking experience other players just don’t have. I am currently working on filing up the 120 and with the zune pass and all these cool features, it shouldn’t take too long.

Also, Corpus Christi doesn’t have the radio tags like other cities, so I can’t test that feature. If you like the zune or have a favorite player, list it in the comments and say why it is your favorite!

On a side note…. Spammers, rot in hell if you keep trying to comment on my posts. I moderate every comment that goes in and out of my blog. Yours will not be seen by anyone but myself and I will not click on anything. Stop wasting my time and yours as well. That is all

I know not everyone who reads this will have a blog on here, but most of you do. If you feel like you are being spammed relentlessly by spammers too, leave a comment saying it. If it isn’t spam, I will approve you. I know the title to this seems extreme, but there are better ways to make a living that making ads that the public will never see and just annoying bloggers to no end. If you are a spammer. Please do not ever comment on my blog again. No one cares about generic cialis, webcams, or granny pr0n. That is just sick and disgusting to do that on a tech blog.

My rant is over. Have a nice day.

I am the kind of guy that doesn’t want his fancy new iPhone looking bad because of the case. I still want it to look good, but I also want it protected. Finding a case that solves both problems can be a little hard. Let me know if you have any luck finding a solution. I already have a case and will buy a new one if I can find a better one. Here is my experience with them.

Silicone cases bother me to no end. I don’t carry my phone in my hand, I am a guy, so I don’t have a purse to keep a phone in, I keep my phone in my pocket. If you have tried to get something covered in silicone in and out of your pocket, it isn’t easy. They also collect dust and lint. Yes, I know you can just wash them, but I would rather have a case that I can just “Set it and forget it.”

I actually bought the Griffin Wave Case from Apple’s website. It is a very good case, but if you have wet hair when using your phone or sweat while on the phone, your hair will actually transfer water under the case which can be annoying at times. I also use the anti-glare screen protector. I am sorry, but I do not know who made it, or how much it cost. I don’t have the receipt and payed with cash. It is a nice case, so if you see an anti-glare one, it will probably do well. I like it cause you do not see fingerprints, and it works well in sunlight without blinding you.

I am thinking of getting a full body protection case. Something like BodyGuardz or similar. If anyone knows of a good one, let me know!

For those of you wondering, no… I did not die. I am just in a new place. I moved into my dorm for school, and haven’t had time for a new blog post or YouTube video.

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 has to do with the structure upon which the Operating Systems are based, but in the next iteration of Windows, I would like to see them do something about this. I am tired of me having a file on my mac named something, transfer it to my Time Capsule, and not be able to copy it onto my Windows machine. It can read it just fine. It knows the file type, and all the details about the file. It cannot be run or copied though. I cannot even rename it to something Windows would like better. I have to get on my mac, change it there, and refresh in Windows. It is annoying and pointless.

I don’t know exactly why Windows can’t do this, I don’t know much about the hard code of both OS’s, but I do know that there should be some way around this.

I’m not expecting anyone to have a solution, I don’t think there is one. I just think that Windows should find a fix to this. If anyone has had problems with this, please leave a comment letting everyone know how many people it bothers!

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. So Push mail would be a great feature.

I found a very easy way to get push mail. For FREE. You do it using something most people already have!

Go ahead and watch my video where I explain how to accomplish this.

If you have any questions, or any ideas for any more YouTube videos I can do, just comment, or follow instructions on most of my vids!

I didn’t see any light. I went ahead and ordered my iPhone on July 15th. A few days later, a rumor appeared from a memo that one of the head execs sent out. They claimed it hinted at a phone by Microsoft. I only saw one website about it, and I didn’t think too much on it. Now there are a lot of websites listing this. These popped up the day after I got my iPhone. I got the 8 gig btw.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my iPhone. It is the absolute best phone I have ever had. It has so much perfection lodged in it! I just don’t know what the Zune phone would be like. I’m guessing that if it really comes down to it, and I “need” the zune phone, I could always buy it. I have 2 phones as it is…. 1 I pay for, 1 parents pay for. So, if it comes out, and works on Verizon, I could replace my parent’s phone with it.

If anyone knows anything about the Zune phone, or anything similar, please let me know.
