So my friend Adrian is a really smart guy. I think he’s completed four or more years of post secondary education, and managed the entire IT department singlehandedly at my company.
I put him up to a challenge to see how long it would take him to figure out how to get the case off [...]

Entry #19: Adrian Vs The iPhone Eco-Shield

The Fall Of Android?
Also, if you still want to be eligible to win a Nintendo Wii, head on over and fill out the survey.
I haven’t been very quiet about my recent reservations about Google. I really don’t think they really have any amazing products any more, and are heading in a downward spiral. People used to [...]

New iPhone Case On The Way
The first order of business with my new iPhone is picking up a decent case to keep it from being scratched. I called around town, but unfortunately nobody has any stock for the 3G iPhone cases yet. So basically the only place left to buy one from was on Apple’s store.

As most of you know, I’ve been pretty harsh (justifiable so) against their iPhone rate plans. The last entry [...]

In addition, the lack of an unlimited data plan, a feature that Bell and Telus have for some of their phones, is also fairly disappointing give the [...]
