iWork on the iPhone? I Hope So.
Take this one with a huge grain of salt, but Pocket Lint is reporting that on the US version of the Apple site that this image was posted showing very clearly that Keynote is on the iPhone. Apparently since Pocket Lint found the problem, Apple has gone ahead and deleted the image, but in a […]
Recycling at its Finest: iBook iPad
This is one of those cool things that requires a second look. The first time I checked it out, I thought, “Neat. Someone put an iPad in an iBook.” But that’s not what they did. They put an iPad and a keyboard in an iBook. This one has been floating around the intertubes for the […]
The Haters Versus the Lovers
I do enjoy my Apple products. Right now I’m hammering away on my MacBook Pro with my iPhone at one side and my Airport Express providing two network connections to the house. But I don’t think I fall into the category of fanboy, no matter how many Apple products I own. Why? I don’t think […]
To Refer or Not to Refer to the Bible App
How do millions of argumentative students, from the world’s different cultures, read, study and translate the Bible for educational debate?

Now everyone can do this easily and can refer to the Christian biblical writings, in 41 different translations, with LifeChurch.tv’s free “Bible” application […]

Printers are a racket. I hate printers, and I hate the way the system works. I buy a printer for a fairly affordable price, and when I run out of ink, I have to put a second mortgage on my house and sell a car just to get the one cartridge I need. And of […]
The iPhone 4 Product No One is Talking About: Bumpers
At the big iPhone 4 announcement on Monday, a few other things slipped through the cracks that don’t seem to be getting a lot of press. These colored iPhone bands are called Bumpers, and they act as a case for the stainless steel wrap around the phone. I don’t know if they’re made of silicone, […]
Do You Qualify For an Upgrade?
Well, it’s here. The new iPhone 4 is just a few weeks away and now it’s just a matter of time before it works our way into our sweet hands. Now it’s just a matter of determining how much you’re going to pay for it. Last year I was in line on day 2 to […]
iPhone 4 – Analysis And Snark
I called my mother while yesterday’s keynote was going on, and told her about all of the cool features on the new iPhone. “How much is it?” she asked. Both her and my father have 3G iPhones, and are a touch jealous of my 3GS. That, and my mother can’t get her iPhone updated to […]
