iPhone can not win? It already has.

Sorry Mr. Wilcox over at Betanews.com, I disagree. I don’t know how you can suggest that the iPhone won’t win, or can’t win the smart device war:

“Put another way: iPhone is to Android — and somewhat Symbian OS — handsets as Macintosh was to the DOS/Windows PC in the 1980s and 1990s. The Mac’s rocky [...]

I don’t even care when iPhone OS 3.1.2 was released.

I’m updating my iPhone right now. And I’m hoping that this fixes the problem. After having 5 of 6 phone calls in one morning [which led me to not use my phone for that day and the next], I called AT&T which was generally dismissive of the issue. “I’ll transfer you to Apple because there [...]

Dear AT&T… I understand constant monitoring is straining the system…

But can you please not drop 5 out of 6 of my calls? It started a few days ago. But today, the first 5 of 6 phone calls which went beyond 6 minutes were dropped. Including one while I was talking to an AT&T rep about the dropped calls. My wife had the same problem, [...]

MixWar.com, another example of where I want it to go.

MixWar.com has been a project which has been in limbo since I acquired the domain. It basically is a ladder where creatives compete for prizes and other awards. I can’t find or write the correct software for this, but what I want it have is a simple site that allows people to challenge other artists [...]

Day 4: Look Mac, don’t give me that stuff about your battery.

So, this is Day 4 of Once you Go Mac, you never go back.
Seems true enough, my desktop fell asleep, and instead of sitting down and letting it boot up. I left it to sleep quietly on the floor and grabbed my MBP. Since I’m putting in somewhere between 3-8 hours a day to learn [...]

Day 1 : Working with the MacBook Pro (Happy 4th)

The interface for the Mac is very intuitive as expected, it has been years since I used OS X and its earlier iterations. I’d like to use Chrome, but it isn’t operational yet. Firefox is, and I’m trying to figure out how much software is compatible and easily installed [installing software on a Mac [...]

Big Change here at Hatch Central…

I’m changing my primary platform from PC to MAC, and will talk about my transition here on my blog. I’m also going to learn to code for the Apple platform, specifically for the iPhone. I have about 8 ideas for applications. Since I’m pretty much unskilled in the area of coding [I can direct a [...]

Saw this with xFeed today – Chevy Volt + xFeed quick review.

Trying a new App called xFeed.
This shiny little black car is the first real Chevy Volt—the first of many hand-built but bona-fide production-intent prototypes that will roll out of GM’s pre-production workshop in the coming weeks. This car is the next big step in the production process after the testing of the Volt “mules”—test cars [...]

The iPhone and the Death of Conventional Instruments

I’m becoming a huge fan [not "fanboi"] of the iPhone, and as I run amuck in the AppStore, I find some great musical instruments. I have always wanted to learn the piano, the acoustic guitar, the electric guitar, the violin, and the saxophone. The first three have a large presence in the AppStore… the last [...]

iPhone App Data Security & PageOnce

As a recent iPhone purchaser, and consumer of security technologies [Software firewall, Hardware firewall, Antivirus, VPN, TOR, anti-spam, creator of anti-spam mail server, and so on with their various security levels], I have one key ability that I don’t seem to have with my iPhone unless it is communicating with my WiFi : Monitoring Packets.
You [...]

iPhone App Quick Review – Let’s Golf

I remember having to run cable across the floor to link computers together through a slow hub, and conventional CRT monitors, slow boot times, paying $60 for an application… each seat of it, and when you have anywhere from 4-10 people sitting around having a LAN party, well, anyway.

The point of this blog post is [...]

Ouch… AT&T, doing me [and many others], wrong.

So, get this. I had heard rumors about Apple dropping a new Mac [iTablet] during some upcoming date. WWDC was rumored to be that date, but it was some time away. Meanwhile, I needed a worldphone that could be used in Ireland and I didn’t see the point in having a phone domestically that can’t [...]

Shipping Tycoon – an iPhone Application with TWO purposes.

As an MBA student, and a person who is constantly looking to solve problems, I loved being in an MIS class recently because of the assignment. Although I did the presentation on the fly because I wanted to try my hand at a TED style presentation, I thought it just went okay. Perhaps a bit [...]

Eucalyptus – The Library, to go.

Okay, so, Eucalyptus [AppStore] is a reader by “Things Made Out Of Other Things” [James Montgomerie] and sells for $9.99 in the App Store. It is the first reader that I know of that was banned initially from the AppStore because you could potentially download adult material. Everyone is using the Kama Sutra as an [...]

New iPhone will have Video capabilities?

Well, this is a frustrating turn of events. As a new iPhone 3G purchaser, I’m reading that the WWDC in June will be very interesting. It may be announced that there will be an iPhone 4G with video as easy as the Flip. MacRumors talks about it. Since I’m not deeply entrenched in Apple, I [...]
