iBook G4I’ve been seriously considering the purchase of a 9-inch Eee PC for one primary reason: it’s small. Right now, I have 12-inch iBook that I purchased in 2005. I love the look and feel of the notebook, although it could be a little thinner and weigh a little less. It’s not in...

Last week, I purchased Twittelator Pro, the mobile Twitter app for iPhone, from Apple’s App Store. There were several features that Twitteriffic and Twinkle simply did not have, and I figured that the $4.99 price tag was worth the risk. Since then, I have not used either Twitteriffic or Twinkle...

For the last two weeks, I’ve been participating in two threads on Apple’s support forums. Like many of the users there, I saw the backup time for my iPhone go from a few minutes to over two hours. This is completely unacceptable, and I’ve been meaning to write about it, but simply haven’t...
