Just Pre-Ordered Microsoft Surface

Wed, 24 Oct 2012 13:00:00 -0700

I have been using the first generation iPad (sim version) for the last several years and finally have decided to go back to a Microsoft for a test. The iPad is okay but Safari sucks as far as I am concerned and I really can't think of an Apple App I can't live without. Once I get the machine I will update with first impresssion and thoughts on the Surface. It has been awhile since I have tried a new machine out.

Is Advertising Ruining the Internet? Where is the new Proxomitron

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:13:00 -0800

Larry Greenberg wrote a good piece on the topic "Is Advertising Ruining the Internet" back in May 2011. I don't want to be a hypocrite as we take some Google advertisement that pays the hosting cost of MGN every month. But, over the last year the advertising on many websites seems obnoxious. Where is the modern version of Proxomitron that helps you filter the garbage on other devices like iPad, Android etc. I was showing something to someone on my iPad and some ad scrolled across the view. They said "how do you get rid of that?" I didn't know. I want information, I could care less about the advertisement. We all pay a hefty fee for internet access, is there a way we can get information without the loss of privacy and the intrusion into to our personal lives. Is there an Internet wwX that is not so commercial?

Finally did the iPhone 4S Jailbreak

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 09:33:58 -0800

Untethered Jailbreak for iPhone 4S & iPad 2 worked great on my iPhone 4S. Thanks to all the members of the IOS Super Hacking "Dream Team". Just follow the readme instructions and it should go without a hitch. I ran the jailbreak software on a Win7 64 bit machine. Make a donation to the team for all their hard work if you can muster the bucks. Enjoy

iPhone 4S OTA Update extends Battery Life

Thu, 24 Nov 2011 07:51:08 -0800

I took the plunge and did the iPhone 4S OTA update. It seems to work fine. My phone actually lasted all night without discharging. It appears the update helps battery life - at least for my 4S. Be sure to be connected to WiFi. The update takes just a few minutes. Good Luck

Did I OTA update my iPhone 4S yet?

Fri, 18 Nov 2011 14:06:59 -0800

No, I have learned my lesson on updating to soon after a new release. Yes, the phone sucks the juice but will last for 7 hours resting on a full charge. Besides, I am waiting for a jailbreak.

Sprint EVO holding up

Tue, 16 Aug 2011 17:03:51 -0700

It has been almost two years with my Sprint EVO and it still does all I need it to do. I recently stared Skyping again and the video calling works very well. I was out in the middle of nowhere Wyoming last week and with 3G coverage and had a good video call experience with a friend. So far the Android OS is proving robust. The only thing that has happened with the phone was the need for a screen replacement (maybe my fault) about 6 months ago. I took the EVO to a Sprint service center and they replaced it while I waited.
