iCloud photo sharing, another surpassed-by-social-networking feature, brought to you by the same winning team that invented Ping for iTunes.

iCloud.com beta site reveals Notes, Reminders access

And, this parallels the distillation of Reminders out of iCal in the forthcoming “Mountain Lion” version of Mac OS.

Apple rebrands third-gen iPad with Wi-Fi + 4G

Using the “4G” moniker either took incredible chutzpah on Apple’s part, or incredible idiocy knowing the limitations.  Hopefully lessons were learned either way.

Apple to add photo-sharing features to iCloud

I really hope that the sharing will not be limited to other iCloud users, otherwise a lot of non-Apple friends and family would miss out (maybe that’s the point).

Apple to add photo-sharing features to iCloud

Good.  That’s the biggest feature of MobileMe that I was really going to miss:  super-easy way to share groups photos on a clean website.  Loved that capabiblity in MobileMe and used it ALL the time.

AT&T CEO regrets unlimited iPhone data, fears iMessage

This clown stated “Every additional megabyte you use in this network, I have to invest capital.”  Mr.Stevenson…Your 2011 1st Qtr profits INCREASED 39% for a net income of 3.4 BILLION Dollars up from 2.5 Billion the previous year!!! You activated 3.6 million iPhones during the same period, a MILLION more then the time a year prior. AND YOU ARE WHINING about how you have to INVEST capital for the few remaining customers that still maintain unlimited plan???  You are WHINING about how you do not like the current Smartphone industry that is MAKING YOUR PROFITS???  You sir, need to pull your head out of the sand, look at the current world economy status and quit trying to pad your pockets more then you are now over your own insecurities!!!

They are apparently making Reminders stand out more, as they’ve been there since iCloud went live—they’re currently in the Calendar screen…

Clarion debuts Next Gate in-vehicle controller for iPhone

That’s a joke.  These radio manufacturers come out with a head unit, and brag about that it is all-touch and compatible with the iPhone or iPad.  All it can do is Play Pandora Radio, have a Map, and read contacts,... lol.  common now. 

These radios supposed to have OLED and display the screen mirror of the iPhone, the thouch screen supposed to let the user intact.  Almost like a remote screen.

The car radio industry needs a person like Steve Jobs who would push for new innovations and not just a re-amp of old stuff.

Apple releases iOS 5.1.1 for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch

Save yourselves the grief and don’t download the update.  My phone has been junk ever since I ran the download. I have lost most of my notification sounds or the ability to play any music through the internal speakers.  It also has reduced ability to be charged or plugged into audio sources.
Don’t download this and if you already have be sure to email your issues to http://www.apple.com/feedback as you will have to pay $35to talk to tech support

Listening to iPod through antique radios

I have an RCA Magic Eye Radio and am looking to do this exact thing (mainly because I want to hear music, not talk radio coming out of a 1930’s radio).

Thanks to the people who were helpful and a big screw you to those who can’t fathom why you would have an antique radio in the first place.

RadioShack also offers $50 off iPhone 4, 4S

Surely the biggest sign yet that the new iPhone is imminent (or at least an announcement). Stores are beginning to shift stock in preparation.

Apple releases iOS 5.1 for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch

UPDATE: I have been able to resolve my audiobook playback position problem. Still very annoying but a solution nonetheless. Within iTunes I right click the file select ‘Get Info’ select Options tab and change Media Type from Audiobook to Music, let it save then go back in de-select both Remember Payback Position and Skip When Shuffling, let it save again. Then go back into the file a third time and change Media Type back to Audiobook and re-select both Remember Playback Position and Skip When Shuffling, let it save and all works well again. Whew!

So it appears that even though both flags are set and the file is m4b I needed to re-establish the settings by turning them off and back on again. Unfortunately when the media type is set to Audiobook the two options are greyed out so you need to change it to music file first.

Why is this happening to me? Not sure but it probably has something to do with the way I am converting the files. These particular books are downloaded from library through Overdrive as wma and converted to m4b through iTunes. There are so many other issues with Overdrive and iTunes I don’t doubt that the problem lies within there somewhere. In the past when I ripped audiobooks from CD and converted to m4b with iTunes I never ran into this problem of not remembering playback position.

Bracketron unveils MetalDock for iPhone 4, 4S

Fanfoot, check out the Kensington Nightstand dock. I’ve been using it for years & it’s great. Plus, it’s much smaller than that giant metal thing.

Apple releases iOS 5.1.1 for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch

Personally, this update didn’t fix any of my iPhone 4’s issues.

It still won’t vibrate, and my iPod (Music) App is messed up because when I go to the Artists, it’s in alphabetical order until I get to Neon Trees which is under O and the Artists who start with O are under P and so on.

But I wonder if it’s affecting other people or just me…

AT&T CEO regrets unlimited iPhone data, fears iMessage

The text messaging all comes down to data and math.

Let’s do some…!!!

It takes about 6000 160 character text messages to consume ~1mb of data. If we use the $14.99 for 250mb data plan it costs $0.06/mb. Let’s give them the benefit of the doubt and say the overhead to transmit the 6000 messages is 1mb of data. That’s 2mb or $0.12 in data usage.

Now let’s look at the messaging plan. We’re paying $20.00/month for a few mbs of of data transmitted. That is completely ridiculous.

Wireless companies need to get off their butts and find new products and services that are worth paying for. Apple did it with their first attempt. Love em or hate em there’s something to be said for what they’ve accomplished. AT&T would be going the way of the Dodo much like RIM if had they not gone with the iPhone. Let’s not forget they were flagging badly prior to iPhone era.

Just my worthless $0.02
