I’d sell my Wii for an iPhone

Monday, October 15th, 2007

Everyday I am reminded of how I bought into the wrong technology. I bought a Nintendo Wii, when I should have bought an iPhone. After careful consideration I have decided that my Nintendo Wii will go on the eBay auction block this week. I would love to raise enough money for an iPhone, but I guess we will see if a Lightly Used Nintendo Wii with Tons of Extras can make over $400. I think that people had better get them now to beat the Christmas prices. Interested? I will put out a link to the auction when I get my Wii on eBay.

A lie is a lie. A rumor is a lie (often).

Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

I enjoy visiting gadget websites as much as the next geek, but I’ve got to tell ya, the rumors have got to stop. It’s amazing to me that rumors are taken as “almost” fact by some people. The funny thing is I could write something here like this: Apple is releasing an iPhone next month, with GPS, dual touchscreen, and 3G data connection. Indeed it holds much the same truths as the other rumors that fly around the gadget community. What’s the difference? Because it’s on Morrise.com and not Gizmodo, Engadget, or Macrumors. I guess there credibility lies in the fact that they sometimes, and I mean sometimes they get it right. I’ll tell you right now though, I could come up with a bunch of Apple rumors based on my “analysis” of various things I hear around the internet and I could make up some pretty good things too.

I touched an iPhone

Sunday, July 1st, 2007

I know that most people are sick of hearing about the iPhone. I admit that I am even a bit tired of it, but today I finally got to share in some of the iPhone-mania. I went up to the Apple Store in Salt Lake City to feast my hungry hands on the iPhone. And boy let me tell you, it is sweet. I’ve watch all the demo videos and unboxings and all of that other stuff, but this was way better. I was really impressed by the small size of the thing. Most videos don’t tell you much about the size because you have no idea how big or small the person is. The iPhone is a great size. It has a huge screen for a phone, but it’s extremely thin and would fit well in a pocket. My favorite part was turning the iPod section from landscape to portrait and watching the thing switch beautifully over to coverflow mode. Beautiful. The screen is awesome, typing on it wasn’t bad, and I thought the internet browsing experience went just fine despite only being EDGE and not 3G. Well, I don’t have the money for one, but I would love one nevertheless.

Nintendo Games on the iPhone

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

Recently Engadget had a story talking about the possibility of the iPhone being able to play Nintendo games. If they created the Wii then why not? The iPhone has the multi-touch surface that would allow those ingenious guys over at Nintendo to build some sweet stuff. I’m not thinking we’d see traditional games however. Can you imagine play Super Mario 3 with a virtual controller?
Although as a young teenager it was always my secret desire to have Super Mario 3 running on my trusty TI-89 calculator, I’m sure whatever Nintendo will come up with for the iPhone, if they do make games for it, will be mighty sweet!

Steve Job’s secret mission: make you clip your nails

Long Fingernails

Unknown to even the most hardcore “Apple Geeks” out there, Apple CEO Steve Jobs has a pet peeve that is beyond anything you can possibly imagine; He HATES long finger nails. Many geeks have been seen around the WWDC sporting long, dirty, and uneven finger nails. Steve himself has often cringed at the site of these Apple worshipers. What’s the solution? The iPhone. As everyone knows, the iPhone is entirely touched-based. You know why? Because to use it, you have to use your fingers thereby forcing you to clip those hideous nails. Oh sure, you can use your iPhone without clipping your nails, but you’ll end up with a mini recreation of the grand canyon right down the middle as your scrolling to find your Aunt Bessie’s phone number. Is Aunt Bessie really worth it? I think not.
