Posted June 30, 2009 – in: Blog, Cell Phone, Linux, Palm Pre, TechnologyWTF! After seeing this I would say that bringing the Pre to AT&T will be accomplished before bringing it to Verizon (at least by hack). Hmmm can I drop my SIM card in it?

Posted June 12, 2009 – in: Apple, Blog, Cell Phone, Linux, Palm Pre, Technology, iPhoneIt’s the first substantial piece of software brought onto the Pre via the Konami Hack. Now Doom has been ported to the platform with relative ease (and a few bugs of course). I knew a decent phone with linux for a brain was an awesome bad idea!

Posted April 24, 2009 – in: Blog, Linux, NerdinessIn this review I look at the user-side improvements that come with 9.04. As with my previous review of Ubuntu 8.10, the goal is to look at Ubuntu from a productivity angle, rather than fixating on technological improvements.
