    Review: iPhone 4

    The iPhone 4 has to be one of the most popular products of the year, up there with the iPad. Today I'm going to both tell you about my buying experience and give you an un-biased review. I woke up at about 5 a.m. the day of the iPhone 4's launch and walked over to my neighborhood Apple Store. As I had already pre-ordered the phone, I didn't expect there to be that long of a line. But boy, was I wrong. By 6:45 ...

    Review: Belkin N+ Wireless Router

Today I will be giving you an in-depth review of the router. The Belkin N+ Wireless Router is a great router. It supports 802.11n, USB network storage, gigabit ethernet, and up to a 1200 feet range. One feature that I thought was nifty...

How Comments Have Changed Online Media

Mar 31st

Posted by Colby Aley in Social Media

1 comment

As  newspapers and magazines get even more expensive and less popular, online news sites are thriving. First of all, online media is typically free to the reader. The reader does not have to pay to read the news. Instead, the advertisers pay the websites to host an ad on the site. Second, online media is usually easier to access than going over to your local bookstore or grocery store to pick up a newspaper or magazine.

Overall, both online and print media have their pros and cons. Today I’m going to be talking about how in my opinion, commenting has changed More >

Are you in search for some great applications for your Mac? You’ve come to the right place! In this post I am going to be going over five of my favorite applications for the Mac.

Tweetdeck (Website) (Review)

TweetDeck is by far the best Twitter client for the Mac. Even If you don’t have a Mac, you can still use TweeTdeck because it runs on Adobe Air, meaning it can be ran on Mac, PC, and Linux machines. In addition to twitter, TweetDeck also supports Facebook, Myspace and LinkedIn. TweetDeck auto-refreshes for you so you don’t to hit that little refresh button every More >

Fully Delete Apps Off Your Mac With AppDelete

Mar 8th

Posted by Colby Aley in Apple

One thing that OS X is missing is a solid and simple way of removing applications, screensavers, plugins, widgets, and preference panes. AppDelete fixes this. When you open AppDelete, you are greeted with a simple trash can on a gray background. Thats it. Except for a few menu items at the top of the window. If you are a neat-freak Mac user or just trying to save some space on your hard drive, this is an app for you. AppDelete is also great for if you’re like me and test out a lot of applications on a regular basis and More >

ShadyURL: Make Your URLs Scary!

Feb 28th

Posted by Colby Aley in Social Media

No comments

Have you ever wanted ot scare your Twitter followers? ShadyURL.com is a service which lets you do exaztly that. ShadyURL takes your URLs, then turns them into something that will scare the people who look at them. It’s like a URL shortener like Bit.ly or TinyURL, except not at all. ShadyURL makes your links longer, but most importantly, makes them scary.

ShadyURL doesn’t really do anything useful, unless you think making people not want to click on certain links is useful. It is a fun service but is deferentially not a service that you would need to use daily.

Yes, I switched over to OS X! Last Sunday I walked over to my local Apple store and bought the 2.53Ghz Mac mini. 4GB of RAM. 320GB hard drive. After using it for a few days, I LOVE IT! It’s great! Fast, small, and elegant, I love the Mac mini.

This is just a short and quick post. I just wanted to announce to everyone that I am now a Mac. Do you know of any good Mac apps that I should download? I have been testing out a few and will be doing some reviews on them later.

Have you ever had a computer break and lost all your iTunes? The other day, this happened to me. My computer would not turn on. After tinkering with it for a few minutes, trying to turn it on, nothing happened. When I bought a new computer, I suddenly realized that something was missing. My iTunes. Probably some of the most valuable data on my computer. Gone. Luckily, I had all my iTunes music on my iPhone. After doing a little searching, I ran across an application called iRip by The Little App Factory. I read about it a little more, More >
