Apple updates iMac with Thunderbolt, beefier GPUs {TUAW.com}
May 3rd 2011 1:07PM I've been waiting on these for a while now. I'm ready to make my first Imac purchase (27" base unit). I happily went over to my local Apple Store right when they opened only to find out they didn't get any stock. The might get some tomorrow, but they weren't sure. They were willing to sell me an old unit for $100 of though. Um, no thanks.
I know it's only a extra day or two wait, but would it have killed them to stock their retail stores for the release day?
Rumor: CDMA iPhone to be carrier exclusive with Verizon {TUAW.com}
Dec 7th 2010 10:54AM I don't care about carrier excusivity. I just want something, anything, that will allow me to use an Iphone and gets me the heck off of AT&T. I'll pay my early termination fee with a smile if they give me Verizon to jump over to.
Your Radio Shack iPhone 4 pre-order may be a late arrival {TUAW.com}
Jun 23rd 2010 11:33AM I was number 3 on the wait list at my local Radio Shack. I had a bad feeling when I signed up becasue they seemed to be using just a scrap piece of paper for the list and didn't have a clue that they should be asking for size/color info from those signing up. So, #3 on the list and #1 waiting for a black 32Gb unit. The salesman said it should be no problem getting one on launch day. Yesterday they called, they didn't get ANY 32Gb units at all in their shipment. They asked if I would settle for a 16Gb or wanted to remain on the waiting list for the 32Gb. He claimed that I should be able to get my 32Gb unit by the end of JULY. Sigh. Good thing I kept trying and was able to get a reservation through Apple. I won't bother withe Radio Shack in the future.
Movie Popcorn is Bad for You? Who Knew? {Cinematical}
Nov 23rd 2009 10:54AM I occasionally will buy a popcorn and soda at the movies, but it's getting to the point where I need to take out financing to buy the snack. AMC Theaters are the worst. They just upsized their whole menu and upsized the prices. Gone are the old small popcorns and sodas. What used to be medium 3 weeks ago is now the small. A large can feed an African Village for a month. It also now costs the equivalent of a decent used car. Isn't $12 a ticket enough anymore?
Ann Coulter has the most annoying voice ever {AOL TV}
Oct 19th 2009 11:08AM Coulter isn't great, but listening to Nacy Grace is worse than getting a root canal. Not only is her voice grating, but the stuff that comes out of her moutn is even worse.
Review: Where the Wild Things Are {Cinematical}
Oct 19th 2009 11:06AM I'd be hard pressed to come up with a film in recent memory that disappointed me more than this one. I can understand why the reviews are all over the place- it's an artsy kid's movie for adults only. While the visuals were terrific (love the creatures), I found the movie depressing and extremely boring. The "message" went way above the heards of every kid in the theater and even though I understood it, it didn't seem like the main character got it either. The most entertaining part of the movie was watching the flood of families bail out in the middle. The manager of the AMC I saw it at said they were selling a lot of tickets, but issuing a record number of refunds as well.
AT&T remains elusive on official date for iPhone tethering {TUAW.com}
Oct 14th 2009 12:43PM I don't know why anyone's is surprised with AT&T's non-stance on tethering. I can't get my Iphone to make a simple phone call half the time because AT&T's network is overloaded. They blame it on the high data usage by Iphone users. That's just folks using the handheld data. Imagine what their network would be like if they implemented tethering? It wouldn't matter what your data plan cap would be- the network would never connect, so you wouldn't have to worry about it.
In most places the AT&T network is at it's limit. THey totally underestimated the Iphone load on their system. There's no way they'll kill it even more by implementing tethering any time soon.
JetBlue flight attendant accused of sexually harassing a passenger {Gadling}
Oct 3rd 2008 12:22PM Wait... they're NOT supposed to grab your rear and show you naked pictures of themselves? Boy, have I been mistaken while flying lately. I thought these were a couple of the only services left during the flight you didn't have to pay for.
Out of control satellite "weeks" away from slamming into Earth {Engadget}
Jan 27th 2008 12:11PM Everything gets pulled down eventually. The propulsion system is design to give the system a boost upward when the orbit gets too low. Without the boost, it will eventually come down due to gravity and atmospheric drag. Most spy satellites are in a low orbit to begin with, so it was probably getting constant nudges just to stay up there.
NCIS: Trojan Horse {AOL TV}
May 9th 2007 9:59AM I wish they'd kill the whole Shepard on a mission story line. I prefer the straight forward crime stories versus the international intrigue. I usually like Lauren Holly in most things, but I think she's terrible as director of NCIS. Maybe it's the short hair, but I can't stand any scene she's in on this show. The entire crusade against the arms smuggler plot just detracts from what makes the show good to begin with- mystery solving and the team dynamic.
