I like to be last second with these things as you probably noticed last year with my Macworld Keynote predictions. Since I bombed on those pretty badly, there’s plenty of room for me to go up with this one. 1) There will be a tablet. 2) It will run on iPhone OS 3.2, which will […]
Get a free $50 iTunes gift card. Join this group. Get a free Mac Book Air. Join this group. After getting a couple of these messages on my Facebook account, I did some digging and found out the root of this problem. The invite will take you to the group’s homepage. Contrary to what it […]

Now that CES is over, news is starting to roll out of the tech world. It’s time for another of my signature Tech Dumps: • Firefox 3.6 has hit release candidate status, though I’m still not sure I’ve found a reason to download it. Sure Personas makes things look pretty, but I’m eh on it […]
