PaidContent.org is reporting that for your new iphone to work properly you will need an itunes account.  If you want to sync your video and audio content, you gotta have an itunes account.

So I am kicking my T-mobile MDA to da curb. This thing has worked fairly well (especially after updating the bios which was desperately needed) but the dang thing just couldn’t grab a signal with both hands if it was paid to (and it was – by me.) So, since I have to stay with […]

CBS drops $280 Million for a small internet radio station in the hopes of bolstering their terrestrial radio station holdings as only 30% of Last.fm listeners hail from the U.S. (Last.fm is based out of the UK).

The Chinese are very agile in their bootlegging and just as apt at creating one-offs (ok, blatant ripoffs) of hot consumer brands. The CECT P168 phone is modeled directly against the upcoming iphone. They have obviously copied the wallpaper but also many of the specs including: a 3.5-inch QVGA LCD touchscreen, a 2 Megapixel camera […]

So staying at the Atlantis is not a bad gig. What is a killer is realizing that you need a fatter wallet to enjoy the posh scenery.  The following pricing is all in US dollars as the Bahamian dollar is roughly 1-1.  For example: One copy of a daily issue of the New York Times:  […]

I am in the Bahamas at a conference and my cell phone doesn’t work…at all. I guess I should have taken notes about Metroxing’s post of SIM cards, eh? One thing that is saving me is that I brought along the laptop and am using Skype to make calls to the States for about 2 […]
