USA Today and others made headlines today reporting “Apple ordered to break into San Bernadino shooter’s iPhone”. The topic of government access to encrypted devices has gotten a lot of attention lately, and I’m not writing this post to take a stance on either side.

Splash Mountain’s Origin
Mental floss has a pretty interesting piece on Song of the South, the Disney movie that the characters from the ride Splash Mountain originate in (as well as the song Zip-a-dee-do-dah). It’s truly an interesting situation: popular franchise characters in a movie that hasn’t ever been released on home video in the US for fairly… Continue reading Splash Mountain’s Origin
Get True Push Gmail on Your iPhone or iOS Device
A few years ago, Google announced it was ending support for the Exchange ActiveSync Protocol (EAS) for most users. Now those of us who were grandfathered in have changed devices, and likely lost that grandfathered status.

Verizon Got $50 More From Early Omnia Adopters!
http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/01/…-attention-now/ “Samsung’s Omnia is nice enough to find a good home in many a professional’s pocket, but in terms of overall desirability it doesn’t quite compare to the iPhone or G1. Why, then, did Verizon price the thing $50 higher than its alternate-platform competition? Your guess is as good as ours, but at least the… Continue reading Verizon Got $50 More From Early Omnia Adopters!
Brighthand Reviews the Samsung Omnia i900
http://www.brighthand.com/default.asp?newsID=14487 “Pretty much the only way to describe the Omnia is as an iPhone clone. No insult intended, that’s just the way it is.
