Something that I’ve been working on with a couple friends is a website called About This Mac, found at www.aboutthismac.com. The three of us are Mac nerds who get the odd *cough* Mac related question from friends/family. We thought we might as well put the answers we’re giving out there on the internet [...]

One of our biggest distractions right now is a iPhone/iPod touch game called Wurdle. I’ll let this review tell the story but basically it’s Boggle for your finger:

Bonus points to whomever can tell me where the title of this post is borrowed from?

Apple has finally announced iPhone availability for Canada - July 11th. It’ll be available from either Rogers or Fido, though neither site has pricing/plan information as of yet. Most likely it will be around $200 for the 8GB model and $300-$400 for the 16GB model. Worth waiting for if you’re in the [...]
