When I first purchased my iPhone last October, every software update was like an epic event. Of course, back then, there were major things being fixed and added all of the time. That last REALLY big update was 2.0 when the App Store was added and all hell broke lose as people started [...]
When two holidays fall so close together, you have to be ready for the next day as well. And even though my stomach is more concerned with the Turkey and the stuffing and the gravy, and the football, there is a little spot in the back of my head that every year debates “Am I going to go to the store Friday?
