I figure it’s worth explaining this. All of the tech news stories and all of that goodness has today been moved over to a new project of mine called Latest In, which you can find here.
This website is not gone by any means though. This will be used everyday, for me to post new videos my personal reviews etc. For the latest news, use Latest In. For the rest stick here. Also as regards to my blog, I will be using that daily now as well. The reason I had been slacking on that a bit, is because I was working on Latest In gearing it up for it’s launch. You can view my blog here.
Also all of the most popular stories on here will redirect to Latest In. They aren’t going anywhere
Videos will resume in the next few days, I’ve got a cold rite now though. So thats why I haven’t been making videos. Check back for allot of new content on here, my blog and Latest In.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the new content I will be posting from now on
AT&T was reportedly urging iPhone customers to cut back on internet and network usage. Apple clearly doesn’t like this giving a screw you by unlocking Ustream and streaming applications on the iTunes App Store, leaving people to flood AT&T’s network. Now reports are coming in at how much of AT&T’s network the iPhone uses. The iPhone’s use double what the Blackberry’s are using. The iPhone uses 40% of AT&T’s network, while, on being 3 percent of the phones using the network. It’s not surprising they aren’t happy. I wonder what’s to come from this? Apple can’t easily switch networks because they’re not many GSM networks in America. I assume AT&T just has put up with it.

Have you ever had thoughts of jail breaking your iPhone/iPod touch?
If so just note that depending on what you do will void your contract with AT&T or warranty with Apple. Jail breaking your iPhone/iPod touch is not recommend by Apple because they do not want you using other software other then there own but please note when you jail break it your warranty is not voided right away. There are only three things that can void your warranty when/while jail breaking. First is if you brick your phone meaning you mess it up while jailbreaking. If you are unable to restore your phone/touch or you can’t get it to recognized in iTunes and Apple knows relates your problem to your jailbreak then you are in some danger when it comes to your warranty. Second if you download hacked apps and Apple knows then your in some trouble. But please note when your phone/touch back for repair the first step you are suppose to do is wipe your data and that does delete your jailbreak… but also please note you do not have to follow that step. Third, if you hack the phone so you can unrestrict things on the 3G network or AT&T’s network in gerenal and AT&T finds out your dead. But the chances of AT&T finding out is unlikly because you have a private poicly plan with them meaning they can’t see what you are doing with your phone data usage but they can restrict data useage to 5GB a month if you go overboard with your phone which is most likely over 5GB a month. So thats it to jailbreaking! MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING BEFORE YOU JAILBRAKE! I JAILBROKE WITH HTTP://BLACKRA1N.COM

Rumors has been flying around wether Netflix will come to the Ninentendo Wii is has been confirmed today in New York Times that Netflix Streaming Video servive is officially coming to the Wii. It’ll launch sometime in the Spring, and will be available to anyone with a Wii, an internet connection and a minimum $9 a month Netflix subscription. Like the PS3, Wii owners watching online movies will need to use a special streaming disc.
The Wii of course is not capable of outputting in high definition, meaning Netflix subscribers looking to use the streaming service on their Nintendo console will have their movies and TV show choices restricted to standard definition content.
The move means Netflix’s online service is now available on all three current generation consoles, making it the most unlikely of industry standards.
