Finally. There you have it. Thanks to the iPhone Dev Team for making Pwnage 2.0. It took a while all right. It took me 4 hours to get it unlocked to 1.1.4, but luckily it only took me 2 hours to get it to 2.0. Yes, yes, I know Pwnage makes this a simple process that shouldn't take too long but with all the errors I got I had to spend a lot of time reading about it in order to fix it. There, that's my justification.

So far, so good. I love the iPhone!

Sigh, I'm such a fiend for electronics. I'm pretty sure it runs in my family. In feeding my addiction for shiny electronics, I got my hands on a Archos 605 Wifi and an Apple iPhone 2G. I simply want to say that I love them both. I can't really go in depth right about it now because I have a lot of work to do but I just wanted to give all of you a sneak peek. I know, especially with the iPhone, that I'm really late to the game, but hey, better late than never right?

Drool, bitches, drool.


















Oh, the mighty Archos. I've never heard of this PMP before but my co-workers opened my eyes to it. It's a much better media player than any of Apple's offerings and it is a very underrated iPod killer.


















Yes, before you start, I am well aware that the iPhone 3G is out. To you, I say this. Go stand in line for a day and sign that contract dumbass! The new iPhone's improvements lay in it's new 2.0 software which I will have on mine soon enough. Think of it like an old car with a newer engine, runs just as good as the current market cars! Don't even give me stick about 3G. You probably don't even know what that is.

UPDATE: The Pwnage 2.0 tool is out! My iPhone 2G is now running 2.0!

Oh, man. The only thing in the webosphere is that damn iPhone 3G. Jailbreak this, App Store that. Argh. I ran by the Apple Store on 5th Ave and this is what I saw:

There was a club style bouncer and huge ass line. The iPhone 3G is no joke. It was like the Pope coming to town or some thing. Sigh, the battle to get an elusive iPhone is still raging in my head. My brother got his hands on a 16GB one in Canada and he's fallen in love with it. With that said, I got my hands on a Archos 605 Wifi to wet my appetite in the meantime. I will review this PMP soon, right here just for all of you. This little video parodying the iPhone 3G is hilarious!



Also, the deals have not been too jaw dropping which is the reason why there aren't that many deals on here. I know there are tonnes of deals but I'm very selective about the deals that go on this site. FYI. Adios.

This morning, I waved goodbye to the love of my life as her visit to New York came to an end. About a week ago, I proposed to her. Now, I'm happy to call her my fiancee.

I love you baby. We'll be together forever. I'll be home soon.

I know the iPhone 3G is running loose now, but this is just crazy. The description is a little misleading. '3gb iPhone'? Is that the 3rd gen iPhone that is coming out in 2010 or something? $10,000? What? Arghhh.

Holy Cow. Here's a $1,100 savings on a 52" TV! I don't really post up TVs but with a savings of over a grand, you gotta love it.

The Shit Box £15.67

Any takers?

Looks like the Xbox 360 Pro is nearing affordable levels with it's latest $50 price drop to $299.99. For the past week, there have been numerous leaked memos regarding the price drop. Looks like it's official now as Target has been spotted selling the units at it's new price point two days ahead of schedule. Bad Target, bad. So, if you're still looking to get into the next-gen console, Microsoft just made a bold statement with this price cut. Sony, on the other hand, is having too much fun milking people for their money with the PS3 to bother about price cuts!















You can only buy this unit at this price in-store so I can't give you a link for one. Just run to the store then, you know where they are ;)

Hope all of you had a great 4th of July weekend. I know I did. It rained a little in Brooklyn which delayed the fireworks but it was a great show nonetheless. Thanks to the people who shared the weekend with me. You know who you are!

There we were, sitting on the shoreline of the East River looking at the Brooklyn Bridge and this is what we saw.
