I am planning a trip to MacWorld Expo at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, California. In the past, I’ve always driven into the city, paid the bridge toll, then paid for parking there.

January 19th, 2010I recently purchased an iPhone 3GS with 16GB of memory. This is my first iPhone and my first experience using Apple’s multi-touch interface. I have never used an iPod touch either.

He had a deadline and asked for my help with reconstruction of the data. » Read more: More reasons for online storage

Google Chrome OS
I recently watched a video from Google about the planned Google OS. It was a very reasonable presentation. For the majority of users it makes a lot of sense. The only reason most people have any computer at all is to get access to the internet. Why not make an OS that is focused on doing just internet? » Read more: Google Chrome OS, will it meet customers’ needs?
