Black Friday is just around the corner, and you know what that means? Yeah, credit card time again

I heard Apple is having their Black Friday sale again too on their online store at apple.com. Don’t expect big price cuts though, price cuts are usually in the range of 3% to 7%. I also read that a bunch of cell phones (read: smartphones) like the Samsung Instinct and a few HTC phones are going to be free (and some will cost $0.01) on Amazon.

Gizmodo’s also got a hold of a complete list of deals on Black Friday.
Take a look at the list here.

Why I Love My iPod

I jailbroke my iPod touch. It’s like, awesome.

Just look at the pictures. Or, you can suffer listening to my nerd talk. Or, you can just look at the pictures.

The pictures with the widgets (the widgets are called Cydgets) on the lock screen are available on Cydia. PogoPlank is also on Cydia. There’s also this little tool called Google that can help you find answers and stuff about things like…um…maybe iPod jailbreaking, Cydgets, and PogoPlank?

Battle of the Networks: Sprint Steps In

Ryan — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 01:30:42 +0000

Ok, you know the beginning. Verizon goes after AT&T, saying that AT&T’s 3G network is bad, and makes commercials about it. AT&T gets mad and tries to sue Big V, but fails. AT&T then attempts to fight back and makes their own ads…and to tell the truth, AT&T’s ads suck. Soon after, Apple makes iPhone ads that say “Can your phone and network do that?” or something like that at the end of them.

This time around, Sprint is saying that they have the most reliable 3G network, and Verizon got a taste of their own medicine. Verizon is trying to sue Sprint, and I’ll have more on that, next time.
