Living here in the United States and being handcuffed to AT&T, I could not get the T-Mobile version of the HTC HD2, I had to pony up and get the Telstra version of the HTC HD2 (T9193) to be able to use 3G. At the time it was more than $800.00. So with a device … Read more
In the pursuit of both irony and justice British police have released a picture of a suspect of an RV/camper theft at the scene of the crime taken by a Google Street View car by coincidence (unless you think the Google driver was in on it) and are using it in their appeal to the … Read more

Off-topic rant time! Sysadmins, designers and marketers, please stop feeling the need to include the www subdomain when giving out your website’s address and bouncing visitors who didn’t include the www to a rewritten URL with the www in it – and even worse than that, domains that only accept connections aimed at the www … Read more

Even though you aren’t actually heading to any of the places it may bring you, so knowing what these places look like won’t give you much practical … Read more
Just received news that some ATT stores are starting to have Windows Phone devices in stock. Some stores are probably getting different devices in at different times before the release date, but its nice to see that the stores are preparing for the release!
