Yup… its called an iPhone :P

'cept for that whole "mounted in the glove compartment" part. if i could control it with a remote that would make it more useful. or maybe I need to have the 30pin go to my USB in and manage it from my car's built-in audio control. hmmm...

A product's placement in a store has an effect on price as well. For example, I like to chew Wrigley's Doublemint. Over the years, they've given us fewer pieces for a higher cost (used to be a 17 pack for about $.79, now its 15 pieces for about $1.00. Here's what I've noticed, though… the individual 15 piece packs are…

My solution was to take my old iPhone 4 with Find My iPhone enabled on it and mount it in the top of my glove compartment where no one would see it and permanently attach the charging cable. It runs 24x7 and makes for a great GPS tracker solution. As a side benefit, with other tracking wares on it, if I ever need to…

Use an analogy to answer your question. If you saw a bag of money fall from an armored truck and you could get it and spend it with no one knowing (no cameras, etc) what would you do? If you found a bag of money on the side of the road, you might not know who to return it to and therefore could consider it a blessing.…

Update: due to investments and deposits over 10K and having to file a return on the taxes from the interest the next year (and perhaps thereafter), I would suggest putting into an interest earning account in the Grand Caymans, Switzerland, etc… somewhere tax friendly.

Open an investment account and deposit it. Let it earn interest. When (not if) the IRS realizes their mistake, give them back the money minus the interest you've earned on it. They don't pay you interest on your withholdings which get refunded to you, so don't them any either. If they don't ask for it back after 10…

I thought the DMCA had a provision for making a backup copy of your media. Does this provision supercede the "don't break the DRM" clause? Or am I truly only free to make a backup copy if I don't circumvent the DRM along the way?

There's only one big drawback to magnets… they're magnetic. The problem is magnets attract metal and metal likes to scratch the surfaces of things like phones and tablets. Even if you put a nice, cushy tip on your magnetic stylus or tool, it itself will still attract small, metallic bits that will scratch your screen.…

This is how people end up with iPad boxes filled with notepads: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2216850/Texas-mom-bought-iPad-Walmart-daughters-birthday-discovers-box-notepads-inside.html

BTW: these particular BT headphones were advertised as sweat proof. However, after about a years worth of using them while running 3-4 times a week, they stopped working and the charging area was corroded. Not exactly as sweat proof as advertised. I believe that all electronics should work at least 2-3 years if not…

This is where registering items comes into play. The problem is, the manuf doesn't really know when you bought them. They made them and they went to a warehouse. Then they set on a shelf at the retailer. Eventually you bought them. But how does anyone know if you bought them 2 weeks after they were made or if they sat…

Maybe you should ask Blackberry to do the same thing? I don't understand why people have been okay with BB for a dozen years, but when Apple makes their equivalent people start bitching. At least Apple isn't knowingly handing out their encryption keys to foreign governments so you can be snooped without your knowledge.

And if it fails to work properly? Hmmm… let's see… you end your call by turning it face down, only the app doesn't work correctly and the call isn't ended. You then turn to your co-worker and start talking crap about the guy on the phone… who is still on the phone listening to everything you say. Then you grab it to…

I'm really not sure why you'd do this when you can just use Parallels or Fusion? Installing Parallels or Fusion gives you 99% of the same options with a whole lot less risk and a lot less headache. There's always risk in changing your boot loader and partitioning issues. If you have full disk encryption enabled…

WTF? SSDs don't generate heat compared to spinning platters. Granted, all devices with electricity flowing through them generate some heat, but whether you have a 1.8'' or 2.5'' SSD or a soldered on version from Apple, the heat is the same. I have a late 2011 15'' MBP with the Apple 2.5'' SSD. I hope I'll get an…

Funny… the pic shows a combo of 2666… which spells anon or anonymous… hmmm

holy sh*t!!! I just blew my leg off. Oh, wait... I don't use it anyway...
