That isn’t Zuckerberg in the picture… yet. Facebook continues to establish itself and gain a foothold in the online identity aggregation market.

If you’ve got a flithy mind and like to party, this will be a killer event. Make sure to RSVP! Im going to be there.

Social: digg / del.icio.usI wrote last month about how great Mozy was. Well, It’s a month later and I was never able to backup my 30 gigs. It was slowly getting there. I had 3 gigs remaining.

One of the biggest problems with the iPhone is how it handles email (especially if you use gmail). If I read something on my iPhone, it was still unread in my gmail, and my inbox.
Basically, the way it should work is: if I read it on my phone, my laptop, my desktop or the web, it should be marked as read everywhere. You couldn’t do this out of the box. Read the rest of this entry »

For those of you living under a rock, facebook has virtual gifts that they sell. The gift for October 25th, a unicorn is set to a limit of 10,000,000 before it sells out. So, based on facebook’s october user numbers of 47,000,000 users, you have about a one in five chance of getting this stupid unicorn sent to you before stock runs out. Read the rest of this entry »

At a secret part of the website, only found by searching for “esavers greyhound” on google, you can find cheap fares for greyhound to NYC.
Unfortunately, I can’t afford to fly like those damn consultants I hung out with the other night. Nor can I justify the price for the luxury bus from boston to new york. I also value my life, so I wont take Fung Wah. I’ll take Greyhound!

So, you’ve hacked your iPhone, but how do you get the most out of it on T-mobile? T-mobile has an under publicized plan called “T-mobile total internet add-on”. For $19.99 a month extra (you need a voice plan first), you get unlimited data on your iPhone in addition to included hotspot access at Starbucks.
T-mobile also sells hotspot access for $19.99 a month, but you’d have to be stupid to pay for that. I switched from my blackberry data plan (also $19.99) to t-mobile Total internet with no hassles, and no problems. When you call up, t-mobile can tell you’re using an iPhone and generally the staff there is pretty interested in helping you get the most out of your iPhone on t-mobile.
