AT&T to Cancel Unlimited Data Plans – Effective June 7th, 2010!

June 2, 2010 Gadgets No Comments

AT&T has announced that effective June 7th, 2010, they will no longer offer unlimited data plans for new/modified contracts for both the iPhone and iPad! This is a huge development in which Gizmodo has gone into much greater depth. However, it suffices to say that something big is happening in the world of the iPhone. For AT&T to announce this change effective June 7th, the first day of the WWDC, might say something about the future of AT&T’s iPhone exclusivity. If AT&T were to know that their control over iPhone consumer mobile plans were to come to an end (Verizon, anyone?) then what reason would they have to keep providing unlimited data?

On the other hand, one could argue that AT&T would have had pay-per-byte plans all along, since consumers would officially have no other option than to pay AT&T whatever they demanded.

So, why the change AT&T? Read more about it here.

Review: Astro A40 (Customer Service)

February 2, 2010 Gadgets, Games, Reviews 1 Comment

headset Coming from a PC FPS background, I found myself lamenting the loss of headphones when I purchased CoD:Modern Warfare 2. Doing some research on headphones I could use with my Xbox, I came across the Turtle Beach x41 and the Astro A40. The consensus seemed to be that though the Turtle Beach x41 was more practical due to it being wireless, the Astro A40 had better overall sound. In the end I decided to go with the Astro A40 as I figured the wires were a small price to pay for better sound.

Seam Recipes [Part 1]: s:decorate

September 21, 2009

As a developer, forms are one of my biggest grievances whenever I am building a Web application. Why? Well, for one, there is nothing pretty about creating a form. Even the best Web designers, with all of their fancy CSS wizardy, struggle to build clean, consistent, and reusable form layers that can be used anywhere within an application. To complicate matters, nothing in the HTML 4 spec (though, this will change with HTML 5) provide any sort of functionality around form elements.
