Rielle Hunter is back, with a tell-all interview in GQ Magazine about her Presidential-quashing paternity affair with John Edwards. Not that I care much for political scandal, even one as sorted as this one. I am happy to see that Hunter took a little …

No, it didn’t take long after getting my iPhone 3GS for me to file an iPod Random Tracks post. Battery-drain be damned, I’ve gotta keep the music flowing during the daily commutes! So this is the first edition of this little shuffled-up tun…

If the idea behind Twitter is to encourage constant bite-sized chatter, the majority of the online flock ain’t chirping: It seems that Twitter is becoming more of news feed than a social network, said Paul Judge, author of the report and chief re…

As with any techie-computer default setting, the “Sent from my iPhone” email signature has become a familiar sight in inboxes everywhere. When the Mail app came to my iTouch, I naturally resented the inclusion of that inaccurate descriptor …

@GaryLaPointe: Thanks for the tips! 3GS is definitely zippier than my ol’ first-gen iTouch.

The battery might last two days, but not if you use it

I just keep this cheap battery in my laptop bag. http://GarySaid.com/iphone-external-battery/

After a couple of years of toting around my iPod Touch, and thus being ID’d as a lookalike iPhoney/iFaux, I’ve finally taken the next logical step: I’ve gotten an iPhone 3GS. And I have to say, Verizon Wireless provided the final push…

I have a friend who has the 3G (3rd generation NOT 3G network) iPod Touch, and he has very similar problems.

Though I will admit, if you have Skype, the iPhone makes a sweet Skype WiFi phone, again that’s if you are getting good signal, otherwise I’m forced to use my N810 either in Speaker mode or use the annoying cheap-feeling headphones that come with it.
(Amazing device the N810 but crappy headphones).

I have the iPhone no contract thanks to my brother upgrading to 3G. So meaning I have the 2G.

When you get a signal it’s awesome, especially after jailbreaking.

But it has one MAJOR disadvantage, you can’t pick up ANY WiFi or BARELY any, when you are a tad far away from the AP.

At my college, I have a Nokia Internet Tablet N810 (truly recommend), it picks up the wireless signal in the parking lot and around the building.

The iPhone only picks it up inside the building or certain random parts outside, NEVER picks it up in Parking Lot, except random, shows up then disappears immediately.

In the same goofy vein as HugeURL, here comes ShadyURL: Don’t just shorten your URL, make it suspicious and frightening. So that populationstatistic.com becomes http://5z8.info/stoleniphones_i7q8e_molotovcocktail. Randomly so, I should add — no real rhyme…

How much of a jolt is yesterday’s announced $1.08-billion sale of local pharmacy chain Duane Reade to Walgreen to New Yorkers? Well, not that much, really. True, Duane Reades are one of those far-too-ubiquitous cornerstore fixtures in Manhattan, …

I don’t chew gum. So why is there a picture of Dentyne gum in this post? Simple: Dentyne’s marketers reached out to me for some blog-vertising action (just one of a recent spate of requests to come this way). They sent on two “bottles” worth of the gum…

So, yeah: The iPad. I can’t say I’m not tempted. In some ways, this was the type of device I was wishing for when I contemplated buying the first-rollout iPhone in 2007, just for the wireless Internet. That was before Apple followed up with the iTouch …
