hacksugar: iPhone 4 jailbreak accomplished but not ready for public release (TUAW.com)

Jun 28th 2010 1:43PM That's bull. I've run iPhone OS 1.1.x jailbroken, 2.x jailbroken, and 3.x jailbroken and have never had an issue with "lost voicemails" or anything of the sort. All the built in functions of the iPhone worked - I could just make my iPhone do more.

You spend more time on MSN Messenger than ANYTHING else (Download Squad)

Nov 7th 2009 4:12PM I don't know a single person who uses MSN. Everybody I know has AIM.

The AT&T MMS launch: How was it for you? A TUAW Poll (TUAW.com)

Sep 26th 2009 4:08PM STILL isn't working for me. Just errors out. I was on a completely stock 3.1. Such bullshit.

Aug 18th 2009 2:45PM I'm a Bing guy.

Windows 7 RTM downloads now available via TechNet and MSDN (Download Squad)

Aug 6th 2009 4:08PM Downloaded, installed, and activated. Works amazingly. Like, if put to gunpoint and forced to never again touch a Windows alternative, I'd be okay with using Windows 7.

Palm's Mojo SDK beta for webOS leaks into the wild (Engadget)

Apple's new MacBook family: non-removable batteries, lower prices (Engadget)

Jun 18th 2009 8:14AM I took a look at the specs of the Lenovo VS the MacBook Pro, and looks like you're a victim of the Microsoft commercials, my dear friend. :(

Advantages of MBP over W500 -
MacBook Pro has 2.53 GHz, W500 only has 2.4 GHz
MacBook Pro has 4GB RAM standard, W500 only has 1GB RAM standard
MacBook Pro has DVD burner, W500 only has CD burner
MacBook Pro has Bluetooth, W500 does not
MacBook Pro has 250GB HDD standard, W500 has 160GB HDD standard,
MacBook Pro has OS X (contains media features), W500 has Vista Business (stripped of media features)
MacBook Pro has built in web cam, W500 does not

The screen is the only attractive thing about the W500. In virtually all other aspects, it fails compared to the MBP.

Netflix Blu-ray movies showing up cracked and unplayable? (Engadget)

Apr 19th 2009 12:30PM I've been renting both DVDs and Blu-Ray movies from Netflix for a while now. I've never had any issue with a Blu-Ray disc, and rarely do I ever have issues with DVDs. I've been a longstanding customer for about a year now.
