  • 8GB iPhone is So Last Week

    At least in the UK… According to an O2 memo that Engadget got their hands on:

    “Due to the highly successful sales of the Apple 8GB iPhone, supply chain have today run out of stock & will not be replenishing stock of this product as it has now gone to end of life.”

    Yet another piece of the 3G puzzle seems to be failing in place.

    Engadget is also reporting that the 3G iPhone will be sporting full fledged GPS, though breaking rank from the current trend, they’re reporting it could ship as “early as July”. Where analysts and fanboys alike are leaning more towards a June release.

  • Travian

    So I was talking to an buddy on Facebook’s new chat client the other day. We were reminiscing about our days being single and playing World of Warcraft way to much, and he told me about his current MMO habit. A browser based MMO/RTS set at the height of the Roman empire called Travian.

    Travian boasts over eighty-nine thousand active members over their 6 different servers, which an average of fifteen hundred online per server at any given time. Gameplay revolves around collect four different resources (Wood, clay, iron, and wheat) to build and upgrade you village and surrounding land. To say that the gameplay is slow would be an understatement, but for those who like to micromanage and don’t mind leaving another tab open while they work, Travian is a great way to waste time that could be spent working.

  • iMac Refresh Due Next Week?

    Geeksugar is reporting that Apple is set to unveil an update to their iMac lineup as early as next week, and other industry insiders seem to agree. The ever modest folks over at Geeksugar were very quick to point out that they did correctly predict the last MacBook/MacBook Pro refresh, so this has to be legit…

    Details of what the update includes are merely speculaive at this point, but it would seem logically that they would include the new Penryn processors, as well as larger hard drives.

    Guess we’ll find out for sure Tuesday.

  • Shame On Facebook

    After posting on how to run Facebook Chat from your Firefox sidebar, I got to thinking about the other potential usages of popout.php. More specifically, using it as a browser based chat client on the iPhone. Sadly though, Facebook has neglected to allow iPhone/iPod touch users the ability to run Facebook Chat from Mobile Safari. Lame!

    Anyhow, with my limited programming skills I’m toying with a way around this, but don’t expect any miracles since I don’t really plan on using Facebook Chat all that often.
