Red 3K Scarlet

I'll take one, please. The 120 FPS mode will be great for shooting golf swings. Much better than my 320 x 240, 60 FPS Canon SD550 (which, for a still camera, has done a great job).
Wonder what the cost will be.
Thanks, John.

iPhone 3G Setup and Ready

Picked up the iPhone 3G today. Setup was not too bad: I was able to provision the new phone via iTunes and immediately use a backup from my 2G iPhone to restore most my settings, files, apps, etc. Ran into a little trouble since the backup was from a later version of the OS (2.0.2) [...]

Anyone have a tip on buying a domain that is about to expire? Like, say, September 12th?
I know the original owner has a period of time in which they can renew, even after September 12, but I have reason to suspect they won't be doing so, and I'd like to be first in line to [...]

Ordered an iPhone 3G Today

In white. It should be here in about 10 days (to the AT&T store, that is). When I get it, I'll put it on my line, give my wife the old iPhone, and hopefully everything will "sync" properly and register itself properly when I get back home to set it up on iTunes.
iPhone AppleCare? Still [...]

iPhone Pic: Spell Much?

Extravoganza! Quantaties limited! Get yours today!

Ugh.

iPhone App Updating

I hate, hate, hate that when you update an app on the iPhone, the location (on the screen and within the "pages") isn't preserved.
I'm ten times as annoyed by that as the fact that I can't separate items. What If I want two rows, a blank row, and then a fourth row at the bottom? [...]

Roomba For my Lawn

This is the first year I've really fertilized my lawn, and man am I paying for it! I've already mowed more this year than all of last year. I'm firing up the lawn mower once every 2-3 days. Ouch.
I want a Roomba for my lawn. Slap an anti-theft thing on it, modify an invisible dog [...]

Netflix Keeps Profiles

The people have spoken, and today I received an email stating that Profiles would stay in Netflix! Hip hip hooray!
Dear Erik,
You spoke, and we listened. We are keeping Profiles. Thank you for all the calls and emails telling us how important Profiles are.
We are sorry for any inconvenience we may have caused. We hope the [...]

DirecTV Out Due to Rain

Right now, I'm not getting a DirecTV signal, or at least not one strong enough to show more than the occasional blip of a picture.
I'm writing this because, despite living in Florida (heavy thunderstorms) and Erie, PA (oftentimes some pretty thick cloud cover, snow, and some bigger thunderstorms), I've lost signal due to weather only [...]

On July 11, I'm going to contemplate picking up a 3G iPhone (or more likely, when they are available at Apple's online store). It will depend on whether the wife wants the "old" iPhone I have now or not. If she does not, I have no problem keeping it: we don't have 3G in the [...]

iPhone 3G Don’t Wannas

I don't wanna activate in a store.
I don't wanna pay more for 3G if I live in an area without 3G.
I don't wanna pay extra for text messages. I mean, c'mon.

Digital Radio Recorders

I'm not sure what they call DVRs for radio, but why is it that we're just now getting them in cars, and even then, only the high-end cars?
A lot of times lately I've heard the end of a commercial talking about a special offer, the dates of some event, a funny quote - something I [...]

Nuclear Powered Cars

I've been saying for quite awhile now that if we took the money we spend on the war in Iraq in one week, and divided it up among 5-10 schools, companies, and others capable of doing research, we'd all be driving around in gasoline-free cars within five to eight years.
Ethanol, from what I understand, is [...]

Powerset

So, Powerset has been in the news lately, but so far as I can tell, it kind of sucks.
"Who is the CEO of Apple?" results in Steve Jobs' name first appearing fourth. In first place? Gil Amelio.
Uh hmmm.
