Apple Confirms: No Online iPhone 3G Sales, In-Store Activation Only
via TechCrunch by John Biggs on July 02, 2008
Reader Steve has been chatting with Apple.com CSRs today - he’s already talked to two - and they’ve both confirmed my worst fears: you will not be able to order the IP3G online and it will only be available in stores and it will be activated in-store, provided you wish to purchase it at contract prices (i.e. $199). What does this mean? It means getting an unlocked iPhone will be incrementally...

via The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) by Dave Caolo on July 02, 2008
Filed under: OS, Mac 101Sharing screen grabs and screencasts is a great way to show someone exactly how to do something with their Macs.

Holly cheap VMC Extenders! $129!!
via Ben Drawbaugh by Ben Drawbaugh on July 02, 2008
I read on TGB over the weekend that Dell.com was offering the Linksys DMA2100 for $199. A few others got the bright idea to see what their Dell employee discount program price was, and when I used mine it was only $129! So of course I ordered two! Then as soon as I got the “out for delivery” tracking update, I put one on eBay for $189 which sold in a few hours. So now my guest room has access...

Amazon’s Connected Home Store page is so well dialed in, it’s scary. Amazon has products broken down by popular Digital Home categories, bestsellers, and even home setup scenarios. And if that wasn’t enough, Amazon is providing in-depth/usage...

iTunes 101: Batch Edit iTunes Video Types
via The Apple Blog by Jenny Kortina on July 02, 2008
I recently ripped a few seasons of my favorite TV shows from DVD’s to MP4’s so I could put them on my iPhone for when I travel; however, when I imported them into iTunes they imported as movies, not TV shows. No big deal I thought, I would just select all, hit ⌘ + i and change them all at once. To my horror and dismay, when I tried to batch change the video type the option wasn’t...
