Vengeance must feel sweet for iPhone 4 owners who suffered through the infamous “death grip” issue. The iPhone 4 suffered a “death grip” problem that resulted in excessive signal drops. It was fixed by applying a “bumper” to the phone’s case (the next iPhone had dual antennas). Now we hear that the upcoming Droid Razr…
The forums are lit up with iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S customers reporting excessive battery drain after the upgrade to iOS 6 but the problem does not seem to be occurring across the board.
Oh Tim Cook, you’re killing us. Your apology was heartwarming, touching even, and made me feel your pain. I truly felt anguish for the Apple Maps embarrassment. Then I thought, “What would Steve Jobs do?” Well, he sure as hell wouldn’t have sent his customers over to Bing and Google.
Tim Cook issued a letter to iPhone owners today apologizing for the Apple Maps fiasco. In the letter (see below) he summarizes the problem and suggests customers try alternatives like Bing, MapQuest, or Google Maps.
Benchmark tests of the iPhone 5 against powerhouse devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S3, are showing that the A6 chip is indeed a very capable processor. During a teardown of the chip, it was discovered that the ARM core blocks appear to have been laid out manually – as in, by hand. Laying out…
The iPhone 5 quickly sold 5 million devices over the first weekend on sale, about 25% more than the iPhone 4S sold in its first few days. For a device marketed as a “new generation” device rather than a minor upgrade, it likely should have sold much more. However, the device is now sold out.…
Apple’s “form over function” mentality was blatantly evident with their switch from Google’s mapping service to Apple Maps in iOS 6 and Apple users are irate over the change. Apple Maps in beta was horrible but hey, it was a beta. Then iOS 6 rolled out with the final Apple Maps product installed and guess…
Tim Cook had one job to do and he botched it – and it’s going to change the way we view Apple products. Geeks know that Android devices offer superior technology, but that’s not why Apple fanboys buy Apple products. Steve Jobs got it. Tim Cook doesn’t.
Apple has posted a PDF schematic of the iPhone 5 for case makers. It’s not a technical schematic of course, but is pretty cool in that it lists all measurements, camera cone angles, and areas of the device that should be given special consideration.
If history is any indication, we can expect Apple to use the iPhone 5 processor in their devices for at least a couple of years. Apple of course has not released any details on their new processor other than the claim that it provides twice the processor performance and twice the graphics performance of the…

Books from Geek Slop Publishing
Living Truth Bible Study Guides
Despite its beautiful prose, you can’t just read Revelation; it requires diligent study. However, ineffective study techniques can lead to misunderstandings. Rather than imposing strict interpretations on the described events, use the concepts we present as a framework for understanding its intricate code. The Book of Revelation indeed provides more than just a foretelling of the tumultuous end of days. It reassures Christians that divine justice will ultimately triumph over evil and promises Jesus' eventual return as the rightful king of the world.
Chronicles of Enigma
While science and reason often seek to illuminate the unknown, there remains a certain allure in the unexplained—a realm where imagination and reality blur, creating a tapestry rich with wonder and possibility. Stories from the Chronicles of Enigma series endure not just as relics of the past, but as gateways to exploring the depths of our curiosity and the infinite potential of our world. Let us be the light that guides you through the darkness.
