A Non-Techy Girl Reviews iOS 7

The new iOS home screen is brighter, more open and more ... neon?
The new iOS home screen is brighter, more open and more … neon?

I feel I need to preface this post with the following: I am not a technologically savvy person. I love my iPhone for the reasons most of us love our smart phones: in addition to making calls and sending texts, I can check Facebook and Twitter and email and the Internet wherever I am. It gives me directions when I’m hopelessly lost (sometimes — ask me about the time I wound up in the middle of a field. The phone said turn right!) It means I’m never without somewhere to eat. It is a portable computer I can fit in the palm of my hand. What’s not to love? Continue reading →

A World of Impatient iPhone Users Await the Next Jail-break

Last Friday I spent the day “working from home” because I was anxiously awaiting my new iPhone 4S. It arrived around 1:30 PM Central and activated after about five angry hours. iOS 5 has some nifty new features, many of which where previously available if you got them by jail-breaking your iPhone. The hows and whys of which are a little outside of the scope of this post. Here’s a keen video about why you’d want to jail-break your iPhone, in case you live under a rock or haven’t been paying attention. Continue reading →

The Invisible Hand and Your New iPhone4S

If you’re going to be buying the iPhone 4S, it’s probably time to evaluate what kind of deal you’re going to get by signing a new contract.  With three carriers now, people actually have a choice if they want to get involved with Apple’s baller marketing/demon magic team.  Here’s a quick breakdown of the three carriers and who you should go with if you are free to choose.

The New iPhones Are Here! The New iPhones Are Here!

This morning, In Cupertino, Apple CEO Tim Cook unveiled the new iPhone 4s.  Not 4Gs, because the previous iPhone wasn’t the iPhone 4G.  It was the iPhone 4.  4G is a cellular data network.  The reason the 3G was named thusly was because it was able to take advantage of AT&T’s 3G network.  If anyone starts calling it the 4Gs in the comments, I will firebomb this motherfucker.

Now.  Because I had to sit through like 75 minutes of crap to get to the one thing everyone wanted, I’ve decided that I’m not going to suffer alone.  I’m going to go over EVERYTHING they talked about.

Things We Already Know about the iPhone 5

September is coming soon. Not soon enough as it’s also the month of my birthday. Yes, I’m a lovely Libra. That’s why I’m so balanced. Actually no, that’s the meditation I do in the mornings. Another thing September is likely to bring us is a new iPhone 5 and the rumors and speculation about that are already flying. Calm down though: There are a few Things We Already Know: © Continue reading →

Why Unlocked iPhones are Good for Consumers and Apple

Today Apple began selling unlocked iPhone 4 phones in the Apple Store. I’m not an industry insider and certainly no fan-boy but that’s not going to stop me from shooting my mouth off about this. Lance Ulanoff over at pcmag.com took a very strong stance that Apple will NOT do this and his reason is simply: “Apple isn’t stupid.“ Well I beg to differ and we now know just how wrong he was.

iOS App Looks to “Convert” Homosexuals

The latest anti-gay iOS app is receiving broad criticism for its stated purpose of providing people “freedom from homosexuality.”  The app is published by Exodus International, an organization well known for its “conversion therapy” and hate speech.

On its website Exodus International proudly states that the app received a 4+ rating so it’s not objectionable to anyone.

Exodus International has released its new smartphone application now available through iTunes!  Receiving a 4+ rating from Apple (applications in this category contain no objectionable material), this application is designed to be a useful resource for men, women, parents, students, and ministry leaders.

Are you a man, woman, parent student or ministry leader?  Have you been “impacted by homosexuality?” Then this app is clearly for you and your burning desire to rid the world of those damn gays help gay people stop being gay.
