    Tethering TO an iPad 3G

    Sure. You can jailbreak the iPad using the Spirit app and install myWi or whatever to turn it into a wifi data connection. Nothing to it.

    Reasons the iPad is Better than a Netbook

    Riiight....you know, there are plenty of forums on the net that have already been taken over by obnoxious, know-it-all poser tools who can't write a sentence without using profanity and belittling anything and anyone that doesn't march in locked goosestep with their opinion. Try...

    iPhone OS falls to No. 3

    I seriously doubt that I'm going to bother with the iPhone any further. It's nice and all but compared to every other phone I own it's reception is bad and AT&T has reached the point of being unusable at home. Since Apple can't seem to rid itself of AT&T, I'll have to rid myself of Apple. Too...

    Reasons the iPad is Better than a Netbook

    Uh...that's not even close to true. I have a Sony Vaio P series netbook that has a screen that's smaller with a much better resolution, USB ports, VGA and CAT-5 ports with a much smaller footprint, half the weight of the iPad, 4 times the storage and runs Windows 7 which is almost infinitely...

    The Home made Wireframe iPad Stand

    I was at Coldwater Creek with my wife and noticed these stands they used to prop up dinner plates (yeah, I don't get it either). I mentioned it to one of the women that worked there and how I couldn't find any so she said just take that one. Turns out they sell them at Hallmark stores for about...

    What does iPad better than other devices?

    Likewise, the battery life and cheap data plan sold me, also. My Sony Vaio netbook is pretty sweet with a much better resolution and Windows 7 (considerably lighter, too...the iPad is a brick!) but even with the big battery I bought it goes 4 hours, tops. Also, the Verizon card works well in...

    Am I the only one sad enough .....

    I've always had a matte screen cover on my iPhone and I got one for the iPad, too. Seeing your reflection better than what's on the screen gets pretty old after a while, plus it helps minimize the fingerprints.

    The iPad is Not Welcome in Yankee Stadium

    If a stadium can't be held liable for catching a loose bat in the head, I seriously doubt anyone is going to care if your laptop was lost or stolen. Kind of makes you wonder why Yankee Stadium has free wifi tho....

    HTML Select Tag

    Ah yes, I see it with the multiple tag. The cheap "solution" would be to replace the onChange event with onBlur which still works. The better solution would be to investigate the onTouch... events and determine how to detect when a list item is changed, the Done button is tapped or something...

    A note of caution?

    I don't really see what's so surprising about that. It doesn't take much reading to realize it's not a replacement for a real computer. Then again, how many people bother reading anything about what they buy anymore?

    Wyse PocketCloud

    I have a very nice computer and fast network and it's still pretty jerky when watching the local hockey and baseball team's streaming flash of live games. The sound does more than make up for it tho. Maybe if you make the resolution really low and then play the video full screen at that...

    iPad and facebook

    To scroll your friends list takes two fingers. Hold one finger down on one side of the list, scroll with another finger on the other side of the list.

    iPhone OS falls to No. 3

    A new system with a few new features isn't going to do anything about the problems with AT&T. It might make existing users who aren't bailing because of the lousy service happy but I seriously doubt that it'll attract many new buyers. Now that I have an iPad, I absolutely refuse to buy another...

    Use your iphone simcard and get free 3g data on ipad 3g.

    Then it's not free, it's just not more on top of your iPhone bill. By now everyone knows that AT&T's definition of "unlimited" is 5GB and while you don't get booted or turned off when you cross the line, AT&T may well start watching your usage and eventually kick you off. What you can do...

    iPad and facebook

    LOL....please spare us the aluminum foil hat 2012 garbage, please. I can't imagine facebook will go too long without releasing an iPad specific app. Unless you can write it yourself and give it away for free, a little patience will go a long way.
