I recently got a new MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM. If you’re looking to see an increase in “free RAM” after running and quitting several programs, the simple fix is “purge”. Open a terminal windows, type in “purge”, hit enter and see your free RAM shoot up.
Lately I’ve noticed that downloading things from PSN has been extremely slow. Now, I did recently switch out my wifi router for a different brand, but researching on Google about this issue has turned up a lot of scary results. In order to really test out if PS3 wifi is slow or if it was [...]
I stood in line for 2+ hours yesterday at the Pioneer Place mall in downtown Portland, Oregon for an iPhone 3G. I hadn’t planned on buying a 3G iPhone because I honestly felt, and still do feel, that the original iPhone is still a pretty damn good phone. However, I have technology lust syndrome and [...]
I’ve been a user of Apple products since grade school where I fell in love with them. When I was 13 my parents gave me an Apple II+. 20 years later I still use Apple products on a daily basis. The recent release on the iPhone was an exciting day for me. I’ve used previous [...]
I spent a good deal of my morning researching the my Apple iPhone Credit issue, even with a nasty hangover (Neighborhood parties FTW!). After trying multiple times to get the credit via Apple’s online web app, I decided it was time to take my iPhone back to AT&T and see what they could do for [...]

How could my phone have been replaced when the IMEI number on my original receipt and the IMEI on my iPhone match? /boggle Apple says my iPhone isn’t eligible for the credit because I no longer own it. You see, Apple says I returned [...]

I don’t know about you, but I feel as though blogging has lost it’s excitement, it’s luster to now other methods of [...]
Signed up for Twitter today. Seems like the cool thing to do. Especially with the iPhone since there are already some mobile apps written to take advantage of both. Perhaps now that I’m mobile again I’ll find more time to banter. Typed this whole post on the iPhone. The keyboard isn’t that bad at all [...]
And I seriously thought I’d be able to resist the temptation to own an iPhone. Haha! That lasted about 12 hours after the official release on Friday. So far the phone has been fantastic. I really didn’t buy it because it’s a phone, I consider that a really nice bonus. I’ve been wanting a new [...]
NASA-Funded Scientists Discover Tenth Planet and yet it doesn’t seem to be a very popular news story. Pretty interesting to me, I’ve always enjoyed looking up at the stars. When I was much younger we had a telescope powerful enough to see distant stars and planets.
