Apple provides tips for long iPhone battery life
2007-08-17 17:01:00 Apple provides tips for long iPhone battery life By Justin Berka | Published: July 23, 2007 - 03:18PM CT One of the biggest criticisms of the iPhone is that, unlike many other mobile phones (particularly smartphones), it lacks a removable battery.... The iPhone has pretty good battery life compared to many other phones, though, so the need for battery replacement won't be as great, but $85 is still a lot to pay for a battery. Perhaps in response to criticisms, Apple has put up an informative and rather amusing site to help iPhone users keep their batteries in good shape.... iPhones need to be kept out of places like hot cars, and also may need to be removed from their cases if the case makes them hot when charging. The usual battery life suspects make an appearance too, reminding you to keep your phone locked as much as possible and to turn your Bluetooth and WiFi off when not needed.... Last but not least, keep your iPhone updated, since future firmware versions may help your... More About: Life , Apple , Iphone , Battery , Tips
Low Cost Batteries? Really?
2007-08-17 16:46:00 I hate buying a new product (i.e. the iPhone) knowing that the battery has to be replaced through it's original manufacturer and that its purchase costs a fortune. For a battery you say? Oh Yes! Some brands hike up their prices and can sell some batteries upwards to $400. Take a breath, not all is lost. Many websites exist for that kind of problem and offer great deals on batteries that you can replace yourself. The best I've found, with the best deals and greatest service is LowCost Batteries .com. LCB offers batteries for practically any product that exists in the market at an unbeatable price. More About: Low cost , Erie

To Post or not to Post
2007-08-16 20:09:00 There is a site called PayPerPost that has gotten a lot of attention in the past few months and offers advertisers a direct approach to marketing their products or services to bloggers from all around the world.... When I first signed up to PayPerPost, I first discovered how professional and neat the site looked and felt. It takes a few days to get your already running blog set-up within the system and once you're up and running you can view the different opportunities offered to brand new posties. The number one feature, in my opinion, of this site is the amazing forum with almost instant help from more experienced members. Everyone is helping out and answering questions, there is truly no competition and everyone feels like there are enough opportunities for all posties at one time. Most bloggers that I've spoken to have and will use their money earned on PayPerPost on their current bills and as an extra cushion for a sweeter life. Some run multiple blogs (20+) and have 2 ...

7 Reasons Why Keeping the iPhone Locked Down is Stupid and Arrogant
2007-08-14 15:35:00 I say easily because if you’d read my book (iPod and iTunes Hacks) you’ll know that with some trickery (ok, a lot of trickery) you can do things like install Linux on the iPod, and customize the interface somewhat.... By not allowing the numerous creative and innovative developers out there in the Apple community access to the iPhone Apple is simply stifling innovation.... - Third-party calendars that people actually use (Now-Up-To-Date) - The office suite - Any number of interesting iTunes add-ons and additions - Social software, ie, tie-ins to Facebook, Digg, Macitt, etc. that Apple would never do 2.... Verizon is so wonky that they take any interface designed by any mobile device (including the much-lauded Blackberry) and make it their own.... Stupid Reason #4: Niche markets and use-cases are lost Apple has shown a bizarre indifference to the corporate market over the years....

Eight Financial Reasons You Should Use Mac OS

Now more than ever before, the Mac OS is the most cost effective operating system of all. The debate over the financial advantages of various OSes first sparked around 15 years ago, when the Gartner Group industry analyst firm came up with the concept of total cost of ownership (TCO). Since then, a number of other theoretical models have also been coined to weigh the business pros and cons of various OSes.read more | digg story...
