Podcast: Leaving the iPhone behind

Tweet I have for you a tale of tragic abandonment. It tells the story of a little boy who was raised to believe that Santa Claus was real but didn’t like his neighborhood and that Apple products could do no wrong when paired with AT&T’s network. It’s a coming-of-age story that illustrates how far a person can sink when he’s...

Using Netflix on the iPhone 4

Tweet Watching DVDs is old-school. So is working a full shift at work. Enter the Netflix iPhone 4 app. It’s the coolest thing since getting movies in the mail that you put in a Que of desired movies.

What journalists should know about Facebook Places

Tweet Facebook has gone geo. It’s sort of the next big thing on the internet. That means that anybody with a Facebook account in the U.S. has the ability to check-in from Starbucks. We can thank Foursquare’s vision for the Facebook rip-off. On this site, though, I’ve dedicated my free time to finding ways for journalists to do stuff with...

The fix for the iPhone 4 antenna problems

Tweet Apple decided to fix the iPhone 4′s notorious antenna problem by saying every phone manufacturer in the world has the same problem, then offering up free cases to iPhone 4 users.
