Apple Answers to The FCC Regarding Google Voice

Apparently there was some controversy regarding the Google Voice app that Apple did not authorize to put on the Apps store. There were numerous other applications that try to take advantage of the cellular data network to place voice calls, rather than using the regular voice call network (which is limited in airtime, of course, to the users).
It’s not the case in Canada but in the US, most iPhone users enjoy unlimited data through the AT&T network, which really enables iPhone users to get the most out of their smartphone …

John Chow just informed me that he was one of the first to get the pre-release edition of the iPhone that is being officially launched in Canada, with the new version 2.0 software mounted in it, which means installable 3rd party applications to make your iPhone do even more (like it needs to!!!).
John Chow used to be against macs – he said to me, when I first got my Macbook Pro, “Should have gotten a PC!!!” but recently he got a Macbook Pro (same as mine!) and is loving it. …

According to a recent news flash, Toshiba, who is behind the HD DVD format, is considering withdrawing from HD DVD as it seems apparent that Blu-Ray DVD technology is projected to be the winner.

On Sunday night I was driving at 2AM after spending some time with a friend and I was on my way to return my DVDs. My battery light had been on all weekend and I was going to have it checked out on Monday. However I didn’t make it very far. My radio died first, and then a few blocks later my engine started slowing down. No electricity means no sparks, hence no engine piston strokes. My car came to a dead stop as all the electrical circuits went dead, …

I bought a pair of BOSE Speakers today for my office. It’s intended to be a small speaker set for casual music listening and what not. My old set by Creative Labs was dying out. The sound quality was messy, and the volume would fluctuate at lower volumes – probably a circuitry problem. Anyhow, I went to Future Shop to test out some new speakers.

There’s always debate and hype about which type of computer is better. Should you buy a Microsoft base computer with Windows Vista or XP on it for business computation purposes? Or use an Apple computer with the OSX Leopard installed in order to experience smooth and easy computing with more drag-and-drop? Is Apple more stable? But isn’t Windows better for software compatibility and high-caliber business applications?

It is true that, overall, Apples are more stable, and are less likely to crash. But then there’s the issue of software. Just this week …

I know it sounds incredibly cocky of me to say this but I now consider myself a pro in this Design, Marketing and Internet field. I’m not saying I’m the best, but I definitely do have an edge as well as years of experience in this area so I will reveal the software and hardware I use. When I choose these these things I take into consideration multiple angles and purposes. Not all of my gear is top-notch gear that provides best performance – some of them are optimized for …
