Special Apple conference doesn’t impress Consumer Reports.  iPhone 4 still not recommended.

Looks like Apple and Consumer Reports won’t be golfing buddies anytime soon. En lue of of the iPhone 4 press conference, CR has updated their blog, stating that even after the iPhone press conference and accompanying events, they still do not recommend the iPhone 4…. Consumer Reports believes Apple’s offer of free cases is a good first step. However, Apple has indicated that this is not a long-term solution, it has guaranteed the offer only through September...

[Update] AT&T CEO not like Steve Jobs. Emailing him will net you a nice C&D. AT&T consumer support = F

[Update] AT&T CEO not like Steve Jobs.  Emailing him will net you a nice C&D.  AT&T consumer support = F

Steve Jobs may be quite the little chatty kathy with end users sending him emails, but his acquaintance, AT&T CEO Mr. Randall Stephenson is not. Engadget reader Giorgio Galante contacted Stephenson on two separate occasions. The first email asked Stephenson to shorten his contract length so he could upgrade sooner and to inquire on tethering options. His second letter wasn’t nearly as cordial, voicing his extreme disgust for AT&T’s new data plans and...

AT&T: “Me too — We also serve 220+ countries”

AT&T: “Me too — We also serve 220+ countries”

Hey, if your biggest, baddest competition is claiming seemingly impossible feats of reality (such as servicing more countries than there actually are), your company had better come up with something bigger and better.

Once again, need we remind both parties that there are not 220+ “countries” in...

Microsoft restricting Xbox 360 units from Army because the sale wouldn’t give them enough money?

If there were anything that would make Uncle Sam angry, blatant ignorance and greed when lives are at stake is probably up near the top. Now keep the upcoming text light hearted as this hasn’t been confirmed in any way by Microsoft (as if they’d admit blocking the military…). The military is growing increasingly digital these days. With that growing reliance on digital services and applications naturally comes the increased need for more and more...

AT&T “suggests” bloggers/tech community buy into their BS

AT&T “suggests” bloggers/tech community buy into their BS

Not content with paying off government and coating them with lies, it appears AT&T has moved on to us bloggers and the tech community as their next target. Only problem is, we have a brain and are capable of seeing past their PR nonsense. Everyone knows AT&T’s network blows epic amounts of private parts. From the north to the south to the east and to the west, the experience is the same. Their network is riddled with holes, over-taxed towers, and even...
