Destroy all phones: Portable GSM phone jammer

Paul

Want to know why I don’t got to the movies anymore? Because consistently and without fail all the times I’ve gone in the past two years I’ve sat behind or in front of — always very near — people talking on the phone. Seriously. So in leiu of throwing Junior Mints at them, I suspect I’ll just get this portable phone jammer for $166 and cut them off at the source.

I don’t suggest buying this because it is illegal in the USA and I personally don’t like the idea of someone jamming my cell phone in case of an emergency! You can buy it in Japan.

iPhone update: facts and fiction

Paul

If you haven’t already bitten the bullet and taken your unlocked iPhone down that scariest of paths, the 1.1.1 update, we’re here to sort out a bit of the hearsay from the actual and fairly inconvenient truth. Even if you have already updated, or never even unlocked or jailbroke your iPhone to begin with, there’s still a lot to learn, so let’s dive in, shall we?

Some Apple Geniuses Restoring Bricked iPhones

Paul

You know damn well that when you unlocked your iPhone, it’d only be good until the next software update. Don’t kid me. You knew it.

Now your iPhone is an expensive paperweight and Apple says you voided your warranty. Try to take it to an Apple Store or send it back to Apple and you’ll get denied. Lucky for you, some Apple employees working the Genius Bar have compassion and will restore your iPhone back to its original, locked state. Hey, be grateful and take what you can get.

No word yet if the restored iPhones were even originally bricked. Some people are even claiming that Apple employees are straight up swapping units with brand new ones for customers. If your iPhone got bricked from the updated, I highly suggest running to your local Apple Store(s) and getting it fixed before store managers come down on employees with great fury.

Oh I bet Apple isn’t happy about this!! I hope the people at the Genius bars aren’t going to get fired over this.

Happy Birthday Graig Crossman and Thank you

Paul

Last night I email Craig to say Happy Birthday and he was giving away presents to all his loyal listeners so I ask him to send me something. I do not know what but I’d be willing to guess it’s the Keyboard and Mouse! 😉 He didn’t give it away to anyone last night. 😉 I do so hope so it would make a nice thing for me to use with this laptop so I can make my own base station. 🙂

I do know that he said one the second hour around 3 mins into it that a podcast listener wanted something and it was a gentle man so I am guessing that is me!! 😉
