Apple Avoids Class Action Over iPod Hearing Loss
Posted by Mic W. on Jan 02, 2010 | 15 Comments
A federal appeals court rejected claims that Apple is responsible for hearing loss caused by the iPod, reports Reuters. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals confirmed an earlier ruling that the iPod causes no unreasonable risk of hearing loss. The plaintiffs believed that the ear buds were designed to be placed deep in the ear canal, which could cause hearing loss. Speaking as someone who has used Apple headphones before,...

Fight Fire With Fire?
Posted by Mic W. on Nov 19, 2009 | 7 Comments
AT&T seems to have been irritated by the recent Verizon ads. First AT&T fired back with a lawsuit about Verizon misrepresenting AT&T’s 3G coverage. Now AT&T has came out with its own ads to show that it’s 3G network delivers the best quality and that they have the largest selection of smartphones….. But nothing about setting the record straight on coverage?

AT&T Sues Verizon Over 'There's a Map for That' Ads
Posted by Mic W. on Nov 04, 2009 | 1 Comment
AT&T is not too happy about the way Verizon depicts there coverage in the recent TV adds. AT&T claims that the ads are “misleading” customers and resulting in the loss of “incalculable market share.” The lawsuit may backfire though as AT&T draws more attention to the ad campaign and the shortage of its own 3G network. AT&T doesn’t claim that the information related to 3G coverage...

Halloween is just around the corner…
Posted by Mic W. on Oct 26, 2009 | 1 Comment
With Halloween less than a week away I thought I would put together a list of applications that can put you in the Halloween mood …
Hallowcarver
The app itself is pretty simple. Pick a pumpkin, pick a background and then draw on it and it actually “carves” what you draw into the pumpkin. The fun part is that you can upload your jack o lantern to their website where other people can vote, post it to facebook...

iPhone LTE Edition In Testing

4G is essentially the next-generation of cellular networks, designed to carry data and increase the speed and capacity of mobile networks. Although the rumor is unconfirmed, it would make a lot of sense for Apple to hold out for the LTE deployment in order to get more mileage out of the R&D dollars it needs...

Posted by Mic W. on Oct 14, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Apparently, Apple isn’t taking this whole iPhone jailbreaking hooplah too lightly.

The cat and mouse game between Apple and the infamous Dev-Team has been going on since iPhone version 1.0. Every major hardware or firmware update has broken the jailbreak tool of the time-...

Looks like it is about to hit the fan…
Many of us are less than happy about the inability for AT&T to deliver what is a standard feature on every other phones data plan. They have told us that MMS is going to be available mid.-late summer and by the looks of my calendar they are running out of time.
And now the folks down in Louisiana are saying COME ON ALREADY! And there are a lot of people , including myself,...
