I'm a front-end developer with an interest in client-side development through the use of HTML, CSS & JavaScript. I'm an evangelist of HTML5, CSS3, jQuery, standardization & open-source. I don't design the sites you use, I make them work.
First and foremost, I'm a fan of Apple and their products, but what I'm about to share is just unacceptable in my opinion. Now of course, I'm the "idiot" who stood in line from 11PM the night before release until 11AM the morning of release to get 2 iPhone 4's and maybe that's explains why I'm bitter.
Or it could just be the fact that I shelled out over $400 for two devices that have a major design flaw. I'll be honest though, I still love my iPhone 4 and my wife loves hers...but should this really happen this easily? I'll let you be the judge.
As a recent Apple convert, I continue to be amazed. I've had my current iPhone 3G since February of this year and recently had a couple issues (not with the phone itself).
The first dealt with the USB cable that allowed me to charge my phone and sync it with iTunes. The wiring sleeve had started to separate from the USB end of the cable ever so slightly. It still worked just fine, but I didn't want to wait until it was too late and it started affecting connectivity.
During a lunch break I headed on over to an Apple store, where I was greeted by a gentlemen as I walked in, asking how he could help me out. I briefly gave him a synopsis of my issue and showed him the cable. Since he seemed so helpful I proceeded to tell him about another issue dealing with my iPhone earbuds. The left one would pop at high volumes as it had been blown.
It was bound to happen. Simply a matter of time. I should've seen it coming. This describes just a few of the thoughts that raced through my head as I watched my iPhone plummet onto the pavement. That and the yelling out of "Oh my Gosh! You have got to be #@%* kidding me!"
On the heels of the "Let's Rock" iPod event, it seems there are rumors pertaining to the announcement of new MacBook's coming. I've read this on a few different sites but have also been told by a friend of a friend, who is currently an intern at Apple. While I'm not sure I am totally sold on the validity of this information, it does make sense. The MacBook and MacBook Pro are overdue for update.
Well, the Apple Let's Rock event has come and gone. The highlights were basically on the iPod and iTunes but an announcement was made about a new iPhone update as well.
The iPod Nano is now slimmer and offers "Genius" functionality that allows you to create a playlist on the fly, based upon the current song you are listening to. Want to
