    I cleared my inbox and tasks this morning to download the much touted 4.7.0.148 update for the BlackBerry Storm and try to rekindle my love affair with the BlackBerry again. Lately, I’ve been getting that 7 year itch feeling whenever I use the Storm. The younger smartphones like the iPhone are suddenly looking really sexy…

    Time for toy shopping. I’ve been looking into buying a GPS for awhile. My first instinct was to look into what Garmin had to offer. Why Garmin? Well I actually couldn’t find anyone who owned a TomTom to ask them about their experience. So off to the big box electronic store. We were going on…

    To be filed under WTF?!?! I was doing a little research for a post I’m writing on the BlackBerry Storm and I just had to call out BlackBerry for being complete Knobs and still requiring a user to access any of their pages with IE 5.5 or better. As a web developer, this really pisses…
