MacHeist 3 Bundle

I just bought the MacHeist 3 bundle, and the organizers have put together a delicious smorgasbord of software. With applications ranging from SousChef (an application for looking up recipes) to World of Goo (the most addicting game ever!) to BoinxTV (a prosumer application for real time video editing), there’s an application for everybody. The main attraction of MacHeist is the price: $1000+ worth of apps for just $39! If you have a Mac, grab your copy of the MacHeist bundle before it’s over! Here’s my invite link: http://www.macheist.com/bundle/u/312912/

iPhone OS 3.0

Apple has sent invitations to catch a sneak-peek at iPhone OS 3.0. Here’s my wishlist:

1. Copy and paste! Why, dear Apple, haven’t you included such a feature? I find myself needing to copy phone numbers, text messages, emails, and other text daily.

2. Push notifications! Apple promised this much-needed feature to us months ago. When one of my friends sends me an instant message, I’d like to know about it.

3. MMS! Apple, name a single phone with a camera that doesn’t allow you to send pictures to other phones.

4. A redesigned SpringBoard! I have 8 pages of apps and it’s impossible to manage them all. If I install a new app, it’s next to impossible to move it to the first page without destroying the layout.

5. The ability to record video! It’s been proven that the hardware can handle it, so why not allow us to record video without a jailbreak?

AT&T Quick-catch-on-fire?

Sorry I haven’t posted anything new lately! I will do my best to post often!

My sister got the AT&T Quickfire a few months ago. She was having trouble with the touch screen, so she got it switched out for a different phone. Then AT&T sent her a text message that basically said the phone could spontaneously combust if the charger is inserted incorrectly. I found it kind of funny that the AT&T Quickfire could, in fact, catch on fire. Oh, the irony!
