My Thoughts On Google Buzz
Feb 10th
As you may already know, Google has recently launched something called Google Buzz. In this post I will be telling you more about Google Buzz and I will also be sharing my opinions on the service.
How is Google Buzz different?
In my opinion, Buzz is not a copy of Facebook, nor is it a copy of Twittr. Buzz is simply in-between. It is not as complicated as facebook, but is also not as simple as twitter. What makes it different than Twitter is the fact that Buzz lets you comment on other peoples updates and it also lets you upload photos. You man say that Twitter does let you upload photos, but it doesn’t. Twitter only lets you post links to photos and has no native way to attach photos. The only way to post a photo in Twitter is to use a service like Twitic or yfrog. Also, Twitter does not let you comment on other people’s updates. The closest thing to commenting on an update is @replying somebody. The bad thing about an @reply is that it is not connected to a specific tweet, so things can get a little confusing when you are receiving many @replies.

10 Must-Have iPhone Apps
Feb 9th
Do you have an iPhone? iPod touch? Today, I will be telling you about ten iPhone apps that you NEED to have on your iPhone (or iPod Touch).
Tweetie (Website) (Review)
Do you tweet? Have an iPhone? Why not tweet on your iPhone? Tweetie is a great app for doing this and it’s also my primary Twitter client for the iPhone. It is clean, simple, and quite useful. The app supports the new version of ReTweets, and GeoTagging as well.
AutoStitch (Website) (Review)
Ever wanted to make your pictures bigger and wider? Can’t fit all the objects you want into the photo? AutoStitch For iPhone lets you quickly and easily “stitch” your photos together, creating one big photo.
Cube Runner (Website)
Bored? Cube Runner is a free and simple game for your iPhone that is a great time-waster. The objective of the game is to run through the land of cubes without hitting them. The further you get in the land of cubes, the more points you get.
Dropbox (Website) (Review)
So, you want to transfer your photos from your iPhone without syncing in iTunes, or having to Email the photos to yourself. If this applies to you, you NEED Dropbox! There is also a Dropbox application for your Mac or PC that looks like a folder on your hard drive, but is actually syncing across all your computers, your iPhone , and the Drobox website. The basic, free version of Dropbox includes two free gigabytes of storage space but if you click here, you can get 250MB of extra space to store your files!

How I fixed my iPhone
Feb 1st
As you may know, the home button on my iPhone 3G recently just out of the blue stopped working. (I did a post on this!) Well, I fixed it!
How did I do it? JAILBREAK! Yes, my iPhone is now jailbroken. How did jailbreaking my iPhone solve my problem? I used a little app from Cydia called QuickDo. QuickDo is $7.99 and lets you choose what you want to happen when you tap places on the status bar of your iPhone. In my case, I want the app to close and return to the home screen when I tap the status bar so I set it to do so. Now, I don’t need to use the home button when I want to close an app. QuickDo also is a help if your sleep button is broken!
Is your iPhone of iPod Touch jailbroken?
