Dear Apple and AT&T – I was very disappointed to hear that your exclusivity agreement would continue through the initial offering of the iPhone 4. I am giving you a few options that I think are decent, and if you make these happen, I’ll be buying a new iPhone. But if you don’t make these [...]

This application lets you use your phone’s built-in 3G and Edge capabilities and, through a wifi network, allow your computer to use the aforementioned to connect to the internet.

Today Steve Jobs outlined Apple’s future in terms of being more environmentally friendly. I hope that other companies follow suit.

Don’t worry, no spoilers here. In last night’s 2 hour episode of 24, the CTU analysts use a 15″ MacBook Pro. Same as me.
