Get a Quirky Beamer for your iPhone (hint: it's not a car) {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Nov 9th 2009 3:02PM the one from flashmac looks huge.
what i like about the quirky one is that it's otherwise indistinguishable from other close-fitting cases.
Adobe engages Apple in passive aggressive warfare with iPhone's Flash message {Engadget}

it's not just bad blood, but dysfunctional family-style bad blood.
Adobe engages Apple in passive aggressive warfare with iPhone's Flash message {Engadget}
Nov 2nd 2009 3:27PM "Dear Wannabe Flash User,
We'd love to be able to deliver annoying ads to you that use up your data allocation each month and make us money via our delivery platforms. After all, it's all about us - not about you.
But mean old Apple won't let us."
If Adobe and their pimping subsidiary Omniture so desperately want to deliver wireless ads, they should introduce their own ad-supported cellphone. Any number of carriers would seem to want to jump at the opportunity.
And, if Apple eventually allows Flash on the iPhone, I hope they concurrently allow an Adblock/Flashblock app via the AppStore .
Offshore iPhone/iPod USB power adapters: Caveat Emptor {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Oct 15th 2009 2:27PM i had a similar idea, but started at amazon rather than ebay.
i ordered from two vendors. in each case where the product was described as apple product with an apple SKU and had photographs of the apple boxes in the description.
these types of cables are differentiated by the engineering and assembly of the dock connector.
what was delivered in both cases as the "OEM" cables were far inferior cables that caught when used with my iPhone, and one whose dock connector plastic sheath split in half the first time i tried using it.
one of the firms did not accept returns at all for their product.
but when i pointed out in one of my reviews on amazon that the product was not genuine as advertised, giving it a rating that reflected such - the vendor offered (finally) to take them back, refund my money etc - but only if i changed my review of their product taking away the description of it as "not genuine."
i wouldn't.
they keep emailing every couple of weeks trying to get me to update my review, but the answer is always the same.
i don't want anyone else falling into the same mistake that i did.
Only 443,000 CableCARDs deployed into consumer's equipment {Engadget HD}
Sep 30th 2009 9:44PM i've got a cable-card based Tivo HD (with upgraded drive) - and have to agree - the Comcast rep did everything he could to discourage me from getting cable-card based equipment.
This was in June 09.
Eventually it got working and everything's fine - but it took three visits on three different days for them to get it right.
BTW - if you are looking at Tivo HD vs Tivo XL - choose wisely if you want to upgrade your drive. MFSTools has the tools and info - but in short, if you want 2TB total, you have to start with the XL. Otherwise, if 1TB total is good enough then the HD is fine.
