iPhone madness

Never thought I would see a line of 40-50 people in front of the Mall of NH AT&T store.

I am definitely getting one in 2008…question is, when in 2008.

iPhone Guided Tour

This guided tour make me want an iPhone. NOW.

Unfortunately due to that thing called money (thanks to an upcoming wedding, honeymoon, etc.), I probably won’t get one until 2008. At least by then, the price may drop and stuff like 3G wireless added.

When was the last time you saw any cell phone manufacturer or provider do a video showing you the various functions of a phone? Never? Well, that is because the phone interfaces are complete jokes.

The iPhone’s interface is the most revolutionary UI in the history of a consumer product.

If I could buy only the TV channels I wanted

It seems like being able to choose what TV Channels you pay for is back in the news again.

So it made me wonder: what TV channels would I want if I paid for them individually?

So I decided to make a list. Key factors: I would only select HDTV channels, unless there is no HD version of the channel.

  1. CBS
  2. NBC
  3. ABC
  4. FOX
  5. NESN
  6. Fox Sports New England
  7. ESPN
  8. ESPN2
  9. Food Network
  10. Travel Channel
  11. HGTV
  12. MSNBC
  13. Discovery Channel HD
  14. National Geographic

By my count, that is 14 channels. If it were $3 per channel, you are talking about $42 a month, which is about $20 cheaper then what I pay right now.

Well worth the discount, since I don’t remember the last time I watched something outside of those channels.

LogMeIn.com offers Mac support

Ever wanted a quick and easy way to remote control your Mac (or PC for that case) from any Internet connection? Try out LogMeIn.com. Fantastic service, secure, it is free, and works great.

I have mine setup to remote into my home Mac and my family’s computers.

Only downside is now I can’t use the “oh, I will have to take care of it when I am visiting” excuse when someone has a computer problem…
