Virtually Benevolent

My new years resolution: 1080p

Unjailbreaking my iPhone. Only did it for one app and I wasn’t that impressed with having it. Vanilla iOS 5 really has satisfied my craving.

It’s not easy to delete a tweet using new TweetDeck. By not easy, I mean impossible.

This Nokia Ace phone may be the Windows Phone that makes me switch from the iPhone. Maybe.

IT dept got my Lync Mobile account setup. IM’s on my phone! What a noble concept.

I’m seriously pissed at Verizon. For many reasons. Canceled and returned my hotspot. Better believe I’m not paying any damn activation fees.

Hey Verizon, this is makes it so much easier to return my hotspot tonight. $2 for paying my bill? Try again buddy. tipb.com/2011/12/29/ver…

It seems that Argentina isn’t really banning iPhones after all. Oops. neowin.net/news/argentina…

Rackspace joins the list of tech companies opposing #SOPA neowin.net/news/rackspace…

But you know who does? AT&T - they just rolled out their LTE in KC. Verizon one is going back tomorrow and AT&T Elevate 4G will be ordered.

So it seems the reps at Verizon lied to me in two different stores. LTE hotspot I bought doesn’t qualify for wife’s 20% corporate discount.

I keep wanting to force myself to use the new TweetDeck, but find myself just reverting back to Twitter for Mac.

Windows Phone Marketplace reaches 50,000 apps mark neowin.net/news/windows-p…

6.8 million Android and iOS devices were activated on Christmas day, 1 billion new app downloads expected this week neowin.net/news/37-millio…

Dear Verizon, if I wanted LTE service that didn’t work, I would have gone with AT&T. Get your shit together. Thanks.

Klout now thinks I’m influential about Stanford University, Subaru and Honda. I wish on the first, and I own neither the second or third.

Google+ growth increased in December, but does anyone really notice or care anymore? neowin.net/news/study-goo…

Argentina halts the sale of iPhone and BlackBerry devices, claims they want to help stimulate local economy neowin.net/news/argentina…

So it seems Verizon’s data network took a big dump today too? My LTE hotspot is not happy about this.

Only thing I hate about the unteathered iOS jailbreak is now I have to have an internal debate on the merit/need of doing it on my phone.

Charlie Kindel, former Windows Phone evangelist, speaks out on why it hasn’t taken off neowin.net/news/former-wp…

Pervasive Software, your lack of phone support during a client’s system outage is really quite depressing.

Though the GoDaddy PR failure continues, they have lifted restrictions on transferring domains to Namecheap neowin.net/news/godaddy-m…

GoDaddy may be attempting to thwart transfer attempts neowin.net/news/godaddy-m…

Namecheap says GoDaddy is now blocking transfer requests to them, in violation of ICANN rules community.namecheap.com/blog/2011/12/2…

I wish I could do something for all those poor unfortunate people this time of year. So many BlackBerry users, so little time.

For those of you like my who didn’t know about Emoji keyboards on the iPhone see support.apple.com/kb/HT4976 and thank my sister.

4 years with an iPhone and it takes my sister visiting from Texas to show me how to load the Emoji keyboard. Nice.

Have a Fantastic Festivus everyone!
