So Beth and I got new iPhones on Friday — I’d say we’re both pretty happy with them. I’m new to the whole smartphone arena but I’m loving internet everywhere and GPS that can orient you in the right direction. I went on a walk yesterday and tracked my distance, speed, etc. The camera seems to do a good job, I’ll have to post some pics and a video to show you.

This article makes me itch for a new system though I don’t really have a reason to build one at the moment. Left 4 Dead runs pretty well on the ol’ Inpsiron 1705. I think when Diablo 3/Starcraft 2 come out I’ll build a new rig.

Gizmodo has a nice little artical/review about a usb dongle you plug into your motherboard and it lets you run Leopard on your computer, really darn easy too by the sounds of it, just have to have Gigabyte motherboard and some other more generic hardware, and it shows up as a hard drive, lets you choose whether you want to boot into windows or osx, theyve got a vid up of it running and all that too, pretty cool imo
