As I much I as I hate to see more chain stores coming to downtown Naperville, it isn’t so bad when I can have an Apple Store within walking distance of my house.  Call me a hypocrite I guess! :) For those interested, the new Apple Store is supposed to be opening in the same [...]

Can someone PLEASE buy me this? :)

So you updated your iPhone to version 2.0 (or bought a new 3g iPhone) and want to take a screenshot of your desktop (is that what you would call it on an iPhone)? Easy. Click the Power Button (top of the phone) and the Home Button (front of the phone) at the same time. The [...]

So I am on vacation right now and the unthinkable happened after we checked into our place: there was NO wifi available. The hotel didn’t have wifi available at all (welcome to 1990). No coffee shops or residences in the area where I could see their network. Not a thing. Luckily my dad has a [...]

Warning: This post is extremely nerdy and really “outs” my geek-ish tendencies (though, “no, I will not be writing any MacBreak Weekly FanFic”). :) I listen to a lot of podcasts. For me, they have pretty much completely replaced my listening of live radio. The radio that I do listen to is “timeshifted” through pretty [...]

You know that I love my AppleTV and with the recent updates, it’s even better than ever… Not that I’m an expert on the topic of podcasting, but I got this interesting email from Apple today with some how-to’s/best practices and figured that I’d put it up here so I didn’t lose track of it [...]

So I have been using Twitterific for a while (yes, I am a registered user) but I’ll be honest and tell you that I’ve always been somewhat annoyed with how it displays full usernames (“Mike Marusin”) rather than ScreenNames (“marusin“). Low and behold, there are a ton of “Power User Preferences” that can be done [...]

I caved in on my holding out with the iPhone. :) What can I say, that price drop was really smart for Apple to woo the would-be iPod Touch buyers into the iPhone (which was me a few weeks ago). So far, I haven’t really had the time I’d like to immerse myself in it, [...]

If you ask anyone on the Internet (and why would you do that?) about the success of the AppleTV, the majority of people will tell you that the product is a complete and utter failure. If you happen to ask me (and why would you do THAT!?!?), I would tell you that it’s probably one [...]

Here it is upon us… The day we have all been waiting for: iPhone Day (or what was formerly known as June 29th) If you know me, I’m sure you’re assuming that I will be at the Apple Store this evening in line to pick up an iPhone at release. It’s not unusual for me [...]
