The dream machine 27-inch iMac has started shipping
According to AppleInsider, Apple has started shipping! I’ve been bouncing back and forth between which machine I want when I upgrade – the biggest, best iMac ever, or another Mac Pro. I’ve had my current G5 duo for several years. I got it just before Apple switched to the Intel chip. It’s still able to run everything I need to run, but not at the speeds that I’d like. Plus my monitors are aging and need to be replaced. My initial instinct was to go with the tower, since it’s upgradable, but then it occurred to me… the only upgrades I’ve put in my current tower have been a second hard drive and additional memory. The lowest price tower retails for $2500, and the highest (standard) iMac retails for $2000. Plus,...

Still playing with my iPhone
Well, I tried posting with the iPhone, but it wasn’t cooperating. It didn’t want to enter text into the message field. Bummer. My new hobby is finding cool little apps for it. Plus I need to hack it to make it work on the t-zones network. I was trying to use iFuntastic, but it didn’t like it. Will give one of the windows apps a shot later. Share and Enjoy:
Playing with the iPhone
This is one nifty, toy! I had to wait a few days to play with it because it got here after my sister came to visit and I couldn’t spend the time figuring it out. Since I got a “hacked” phone, I’ve got to tread carefully, otherwise I’ll have to re-hack it to work with t-mobile. For instance, since it’s running older software, right now, I can’t seem to put any cool ringtones on it. Another “peeve” (I knew about this before I got it) is the inability to use voice commands for dialing. I think a hack will come along rather quick to fix this, especially with the new law going into effect in California requiring hands-free equipment for using cell phones while driving. (It will probably be a decade before they try...
Impatiently Waiting…
I bought an iPhone on ebay Monday night. As of Wednesday morning it hasn’t shipped. It’s new and has been hacked to work with T-Mobile, which just tickles me to death. I paid about $60 more it than one from Apple, but the ones in the Apple stores right now have a firmware version that can’t be hacked. No way am I switching to AT&T, while their family plan only costs $10 more than T-Mobile’s, they don’t offer a $5 internet plan-they only offer a $60 plan with the iPhone. (My $5 internet plan is really slow, but mostly I just use it for email.) Of course, this is just an 8GB model, which means I’m really going to have to pare down what I store on it (my 30GB iPod video is 3/4 full!). I ought to be able to get $150 for my MDA...
