A 3-month subscription will go up from $19.99 to $24.99, while a 1-month plan jumps from $7.99 to $9.99.

Along with the announcement, Microsoft has launched a promotion allowing Xbox owners to renew now for an additional year for $39.99

The service lets Gmail users make free calls to U.S. and Canada and inexpensive calls to phones in other countries. It uses Gmail as an interface and optionally can integrate with Google Voice to receive calls as well.

That is pretty amazing and just shows how many using or have gmail.

Jailbreaking is hacking the phone’s OS to allow consumers to run any app on the phone they choose, including applications not authorized by Apple.

When your finger or hand touches a spot on the phone’s lower left side—an easy thing, especially for lefties—the signal can significantly degrade enough to cause you to lose your connection altogether if you’re in an area with a weak signal.

The tests also indicate that AT&T’s network might not be the primary suspect in the iPhone 4’s much-reported signal woes.  Which is very good news for AT&T which has been beaten up lately.

Apple seems to be clicking on all cylinders and has become one of the biggest technology companies in the world.

The new Iphone has sold at a rate faster than all previous version and in comparison to all of Apples’ other products.

The iPhone 4 is a dramatic redesign. It manages to pack a radically sharper screen; a second, front-facing camera; a larger battery; a better rear camera with flash; and a faster processor into a body that is 24% thinner, a bit narrower, and retains the same length and weight as its predecessor’s. In fact, Apple claims that the iPhone 4 is the world’s thinnest smartphone and sports the world’s highest-resolution smartphone screen.

With the front-facing camera, and clever new software called FaceTime, Apple has brought simple, high-quality video calling to mobile phones, albeit, for now, only over Wi-Fi and only among iPhone 4 owners. In multiple tests, this feature worked very well for me and is a classic example of the value of having one company do integrated hardware and software.

I really like this new phone overall.  It includes some excellent multi tasking functions.  But don’t kid yourself, its not going to replace your Blackberry that you used for work but it does everything else that you want it to do.

In Australia, hundreds lined up outside on the first day of sale.  In Europe, the same could be said.  In London, the demand was strong.

This all bodes well for Apple which overtook Microsoft as the largest technology company in the world.

However, on Tuesday, Dell unveiled its Streak tablet computer, which can double as a mobile phone and will have a front-facing camera for videoconferencing. Sony said on Thursday it would launch an e-reader in Japan by the end of the year.

So for the moment, Apple might be on top of the hill but there are others coming after them.

The solution is to switch to a IPv6 format but everyone has to switch to it.  There are also new hardware and systems that have to be converted to make the changes.  The problems is that not everyone is moving quickly to make the switch.  So until every company and businesses makes the change, under the current system, we will run out of ip addresses in the near future.

Don’t worry this does not however concern the domain name sector.

As long as you have a computer you can go to any free hifi location and start surfing the web like any person with a roof over their head.  Gradually the computer is becoming one of the most essential equipment that all American have to have in tough times.
