Supposed New Apple Phone

Well, the rumor mill is once again churning.

These pictures below from Engadget are supposedly of the new Apple phone or "network testing."



It seems like a Samsung SGH-x497 (below) with a badly cut Apple gift card stuffed into the SIM card slot.

Off For A Long Time

This blog will be off for a while until I finish fighting Heathcote through my grade 12 year and a spot in university. It will then be started back up again.

Either way, the new iPod video came out today, comment if you wish, you all know where to find pics and specs (yes the Apple website :P).

Damn That Fine Print...

Ever been swindled by the fine print in a promotional deal or anything of the sort?

Well, somebody just made $200 USD by selling their PSP box.
Yes that's right, just the box. Now the description clearly states that but I guess that was lost on some people.



Go here to see the auction for yourself.

Car Shopping

Well, the time has come for a new car. The 1990 Honda Civic just isn't cutting it anymore at all.

Discussion with the parents seems to be to wait to see what direction I will be going in university, and then to buy any car, preferrably small because a big car for us is useless. I've got my eyes set on the new Acura RSX.



Ya it is one sexy car, and it drove great when I went for my test drive. I'm wondering if anyone has any comments on it or anything? Post in the comments section and we'll see.

The Ostermayer blog is a haven for many things tech (much like Online Madness). However, to sweeten the deal, Dan offers t-shirt patterns that you can iron on. His newest one is below:



He has many more so be sure to visit his site and check them all out.

iPod Gets Coloured

Now, for the same price as regular iPod's up to a week ago, you can get an iPod Photo. Except they just call it an iPod now because they all have colour screens, including the U2 Edition. The only iPods without colour screens as of yet are the mini's and the anyways screenless shuffle.

If you just bought a regular 20 gig iPod, prepare to kick yourself in the ass. Bad timing or what?


On another note, iTunes 4.9 was released and it has built in "podcasting" capabilities, however many people have been having problems with the subscriptions.

What If Dr. Seuss Wrote Tech?

What if Dr. Seuss wrote technical manuals?

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!

If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash,
And the double-clicking icons put your window in the trash,
And your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash,
Then your situation's hopeless, and your system's gonna crash!

If the label on your cable on the gable at your house,
Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
But your packets want to tunnel to another protocol,
That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall.

And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss,
So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,
Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
"Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk,
And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary RISC,
Then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM,
Quickly turn off your computer and be sure to tell your mom!

Pac-Man Turns 25

Yes, it has actually been that long. Back to the glory days of videogames, go play some original pac-man right now, or wait for the Pac-Man 3-D, or Pac-Man World to come out.
