iPhone + AT&T: Secrets and Surprises

Here I sit, money in hand, ready to plunk down $499 x 2, plus buy my way out of SunCom for a hundred or two, plus sign up with AT&T for two years. I’m obligating myself for at least $2,200 EXTRA for a couple of cell phones.

Without knowing how much AT&T will charge?

Not bloody likely!

The Browser Link Menu

This week I’ll cover the third menu you can use in your web browser. I’ll call this the Link Menu, since it appears when you control-click (or right click) a link. As with the prior menus, the terms might be different from browser to browser.

Thoughts on Safari 3 Beta

I’m going to stretch my prognosticatorial wings here and write about that of which I know very little. (Yeah! I do know the sentence sucks.)

The Basic Browser Menu

Last week I discussed a browser contextual menu to use for images in websites. Well, there is also a “Basic Menu” (what I am choosing to call it) you can use to navigate your way through a site, and more. Like the menu discussed last week, this menu has different options in different browsers. It also might have different phrases for various actions. I’m just going to cover the standards.

Celesta Titanium Silver Keyboard – Review

I have read and heard about premium keyboards, but never used one until recently. Celesta by Aevoe/Moshi is a class act, expensive and worth every penny, especially on a per-keystroke basis. Construction is high-tech rugged, and design and styling are high-tech gorgeous. If you are unhappy in any way with your current keyboard, set your dollars, euros, or yen aside until you can come up with the $120 US to purchase Celesta in black-on-black or white-on-silver.

Ubercaster
Review

Ubercaster is very different from GarageBand in one important way. The program does many of the things needed to do in GarageBand in post-production all within Ubercaster’s workflow BEFORE you begin recording. It has a unique layout that is reminiscent of most good Mac software, drag and drop. There are four layers to the program and each is well structured for making podcasts.

The Browser Image Menu

Have you ever found an image on a website that you wanted to print, or save, or do something else with? Saving the entire webpage won’t help, and printing the entire page for a little image is a waste of ink. Well, you can use a contextual menu which I will call the Image Menu for the purpose of this article. This menu is built into every browser, and accessible by control clicking (or right clicking) on an image in a website.

i.Sound Concert To Go
Review

I’ve been using C2Go as my full-time audio playback system for a month, and I’m very impressed. Music quality, volume, and tone are consistently excellent. When not attached to my docked iPod, C2Go has a cable AUX (auxiliary) connection to my G5 tower. In a word, music sounds great.

Kevin O’Neil’s Imagine Poker
Review and Interview

If you’re interested in playing a game of poker anytime you want, then mosey on over to http://www.candywriter.com and check out Kevin O’Neil’s Imagine Poker.

To longtime My Mac readers, the name O’Neil may ring a bell. That’s because Kevin’s dad was Mick O’Neil, a MyMac.com writer from 1997 until his untimely passing in 2001.

TrafficJamZ
Review

Each FM transmitter I haev tried had a different problem. Some were difficult to program, or did not cover all of the frequencies on the FM dial. Some broadcast so weak a signal, that I was constantly moving the thing around, or switching stations (not advisable) to try and keep a connection. So it is with some trepidation that I try Newer Tech’s TrafficJamZ
