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 quality of the pictures in 1080l is superior and I have never seen a game where a 1080i image was not able to give you a clear picture and the action going on.  I think it just a bogus excused used by television station that will not paid the extra money to get a 1080i camera.

In this day and age, and especially during the playoffs, there is no excuse not to use anything but 1080i.

Watch when the Lakers play the Celtics in the NBA finals, you will see games in Boston in 720p and games in Los Angeles in 1080l.  You till me if you can tell the difference or not.

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.

The top then cities are as follows:

Berkeley (average speed: 18.7Mbps), Chapel Hill, North Carolina (average speed: 17.5Mbps), and Stanford, California (average speed: 17.0Mbps).  Durham, North Carolina (average speed: 13.6Mbps); Ithaca, New York; Ann Arbor, Michigan; College Station, Texas; Urbana, Illinois; Cambridge, Massachusetts; University Park, Pennsylvania; and East Lansing, Michigan.

Asking for your car key is an attempt by the dealership to prevent you from walking away during negotiation.  Don’t hang over your must valuable bargaining tool – the power to get up and walk away if you don’t get the deal that you are looking for.  If they pressure you or do anything that you don’t like just get up and leave.

You can’t do that if they have your keys.
