Well, the iPhone 4’s pre-sales have been nothing short of staggering, causing system malfunctions and AT&T to suspend pre-orders temporarily. On its Canadian store page, Apple has changed the iPhone 4’s availability status from “July” to “Coming Soon.” More »

Solomods is offering the service for $129. Have a gander at what is involved, and you will probably concur with my estimation that the mod is too simplistic to deserve anywhere near the asking price. Basically, the only potential performance boost is the 12V fan –being able to see some of the internals and the DVD spinning is worth over a bill? The new Xbox 360 appears to be as easy to disassemble as the old model. Anyone can do it in under 10 minutes. More »

At one time, the entry Mac Mini was $499. Years later, Apple’s little headless Mac is no longer affordable. $699 gets buyers a stripped down machine with only 2Gb RAM, a 320Gb hard drive, last year’s Intel Core 2 Duo processor, but faster NVIDIA 320M graphics, and HDMI output. Upgrade the Mini to a truly usable 4Gb memory and 500Gb drive Mac, and the total (even if the upgrade is DIY) with tax rises to over $800. At least replacing the memory is easier than before. Oh yeah, the Mini does not come with input peripherals either, so add another $150 for a good keyboard/mouse and a webcam, plus $19 for the basic remote. Suddenly, the Mac Mini has become a luxurious HTPC without Blu-Ray. Regular, working class families need not apple here. More »
