I figured I’d be using Evernote since that’s what everyone else is using. But a comment from a co-worker made me take a second look…

    Yes, I know, I’m going straight to hell. But then Lord Jobs probably wasn’t going to let me in to heaven anyways! It’s been over a week now that I’m using a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc and I still always try to spell it Experia! Unlocking the phone to use on my network was the…

    I will follow up to edno’s hardware laden post (nice one, BTW) with my own brand of DIY tutorial happiness. NOTA : This is a simple tutorial and by no means THE definitive soldering How-To.  I’m not an expert but the job I did with the oscillating tool, as related here, worked as it was…

    When similar reports have surfaced in the past, pundits often speculated that Apple initially over-orders to ensure appropriate volume is available, then it cuts back on those orders to adjust for realistic sales estimates.
