the internets are ringing…

Online voice/video conferencing is probably as synonymous as blogging these days. But up until a couple of years ago, people were left with IM clients to do the deed. Now there’s nothing really wrong about going this route, but if you want the ideal video/voice chat experience you’d be better off going the Skype route. [...]

canada’s apple stores not carrying (3g) iphones

News from AppleInsider.com.

The phone will still be available at Rogers and Fido locations.
Sadly, I still wouldn’t be surprised to see line-ups. Nothing can stop the Apply hype machine.

Think art meets technology. In a nutshell, an artist named Paul St George discovered sketches [...]

Canada gets 3G iPhone.

Watching twitlive.tv stream Steve Job’s keynote (a live stream of a live stream, technology is awesome), and amidst Disney’s Small World theme song, the iPhone is coming to Canada.
Finally? I think so. I mean I know people who’ve gotten their hands on unlocked iPhones, but it looks like Apple’s finally got it together in launching [...]
