Rumor has it that the upcoming 10.6.2 build of Mac OS X has removed support for the Intel Atom CPU, which is the processor under the hood of many netbooks on the market today, including my beloved Dell Mini 9. This isn’t an issue for most Mac users, but if you’re like me and you’ve [...]

Get Pocket Cocktails Free For a Limited Time!
Pocket Cocktails is a really fun app that I’ve loved having on my iPhone–it’s a really comprehensive library of drink recipes, complete with beautiful “action shots” of what the drinks are supposed to look like it. I reviewed it earlier this year at Daily Tech Diva after using Pocket Cocktails to help find a signature [...]
Want MMS on your iPhone before 9/25?
So, yesterday in my daily perusal of the web, I saw that AT&T had started silently rolling out MMS functionality for the iPhone in small batches. It didn’t seem to have a rhyme or reason–some people on iPhone OS 3.0 had it, some on 3.01, and some on 3.1, all in different locations. Some people [...]
CaseCrown 8.9″ Alligator Slim Case
As many of you tech-loving ladies out there know, it can be very difficult at times to find a nice, feminine looking case for your gadgets. I love clothes and accessories just as much as I love technology, and I hate putting a gadget in a boring case into a cute handbag. I just don’t [...]
Take control of IKEA with SwedeShop
I am a huge fan of IKEA, the Swedish-based furniture and homegoods company. So, when I go to IKEA I usually have a list of items I want to purchase that I made using the website and the yearly catalog, as well as a running total in my head. Plus, once you’re actually in the [...]
eReader Drops Prices – No Book Over $12.95!
I received my weekly email from eReader today, and for a change I was actually SHOCKED when I opened it! Usually I find that, even on sale, eReader books are too expensive. New eBooks often cost more than a brand-new physical copy! Bestsellers have also been prohibitively expensive. Well, eReader is finally answering my wishes–no [...]
My Dell Mini 9 Hackintosh – The Installation
This is Part One in a series about my journey with my new Dell Mini 9 into Hacktinosh territory…I’ll be talking about my installation process, my impressions of the Mini as a Mac netbook, performance, software, and more. I was pretty early to jump on the netbook bandwagon. When I saw the original 7″ Asus [...]
Review – Cocoon Innovations Netbook Case
The Cocoon Innovations netbook case is pretty much my ideal netbook travel case. It’s durable, shock absorbent, airport friendly, comfortable, and it features a unique organizational system that I have never seen before in another bag. There are a few key things I wish I could tweak a little bit, but otherwise I was very [...]
Belkin’s GPS FM Transmitter Knows Where You Are
Belkin has announced a pretty awesome sounding product coming this fall. The TuneCast Auto Live FM transmitter for iPhone is a GPS-enabled FM transmitter that automatically finds the best FM station based on where you are. It uses the GPS to determine your location and then, using the ClearScan Live iPhone application, tunes to the [...]
RIP Dell Mini 9
The sad rumor that I heard this weekend was confirmed today on the Direct2Dell blog…Dell is discontinuing the Mini 9. They are pushing the Mini 10 and 10v as the replacements to the popular 8.9 inch laptop, Dell’s first in the hot new netbook genre. I am pretty bummed about this, though I am glad [...]
Review: CoverBee Netbook Case
Netbook popularity continues to grow every day, but cute netbook cases are still pretty hard to come by. I love my tech toys, but I also love to accessorize them. I like cases that look fresh and feminine, something different than the traditional, boring flat black leather or neoprene. There is no reason that cases [...]
Microsoft LIT, you will be missed
When I am loading up eBooks onto my iPhone, Microsoft LIT files are my favorite. For those of you new to the eBook scene, Microsoft LIT is the eBook format used for Microsoft Reader on the PC and Windows Mobile. There used to be a Microsoft eBook store that sold DRM-locked LIT books, just like [...]
iPhone Case Conundrum!
I am replacing the Power Support Air Jacket on my iPhone 3G with a new case. The Air Jacket was really great and very protective–I gave it a real positive review when I first got it! But, it has a big crack in it and it scratched just a bit too easily for my taste. [...]
Evernote adds Twitter integration
Evernote announced today that they have added Twitter integration into their already wonderful service. I am really excited by that, because sometimes all I need to do is jot a quick note, and I don’t want to take the extra time open up the Evernote Desktop software or open Evernote on the web. All you [...]
