New iPhone: or why I cancelled my Rogers account
I’ve had a couple of tiring and rather stressful weeks at work in a row, so I decided to take Friday afternoon off.

My BlackBerry is on Rogers, so off I went to my local Rogers Plus store…
iPhone 3GS overheating- not a new problem
There has been a bit of a hullaballoo lately regarding overheating problems with the latest iPhone, the 3GS.

Yet it has served me very well for most purposes. However, a couple of years ago I started configuring various server monitors at work to send me email messages when they ran into trouble. These messages are generally too long for the SMS service provided with my Razr, and my latest round of updates has resulted in these messages becoming largely unreadable: the emails are too long and complex.
And so I begin to consider an upgrade…

iPhone battery- iPod part 2
Apple learned a great deal from the battery complaints that users had about the early iPods. First, instead of just making it challenging to get at the battery in the iPhone,…
