iLounge: “AT&T plans to subsidize
as much as $200 of the price of the 3G iPhone, according to a Fortune
report. Citing a person “familiar with the strategy,” the report states
that the subsidy would bring the price of the base-model 3G iPhone to
$199 for customers who sign two-year contracts, a price that would help
AT&T lure more customers away from rival carriers Verizon,
T-Mobile, and Sprint. Subsidized iPhones will reportedly be available
only through AT&T and not at Apple Stores, and may feature more
robust locking techniques in hopes of preventing customers from using
the cheaper phones with other services or carriers. The report goes on
to say that Apple will cease shipments of the current-generation iPhone
roughly two weeks before the 3G iPhone’s likely June 27 debut, and that
the new model will be 2.5mm thinner than the original, and will sport
true GPS capabilities, as well.”
Thanks for continuing to make us look good…

“Windows only: One of our favorite PC cleansers CCleaner (which stands
for “Crap Cleaner”) saw an upgrade this week. Since the last time we
mentioned CCleaner several new versions have come out; this week’s
added support for the Firefox 3 beta plus performance improvements and
bug fixes. CCleaner scans your PC for unnecessary temporary and log
files, cookies, memory dumps, and more and wipes them out at the press
of the “Run Cleaner” button. You might be surprised at how much disk
space it can recover—in fact, it managed to clear out 1.6GB of crap
from my PC. See screenshot evidence after the jump.”
Awesome photostream…
After Mister Jalopy
posted a link to mmk_kobayashi’s “tasteless, frequently mean,
sporadically NSFW, sometimes jaw dropping and generally hilarious”
Flickr photostream my productivity ground to a halt.
“Don’t smoke your cigarettes … drink ‘em! Here’s an idea so crazy it’s brilliant: Cigarettea by Schnaider.
Cigarettea are tea bags that look like cigarettes. All you have to
do is dip one in a cup of hot water and let it steep (the “filter” will
act as a fluotation device). Instead of tobacco, the cigarettes have
tea leaves!”
“
Attention XP’ers — your wildest fantasies are coming to fruition. Word on the street is that Service Pack 3
is now available for download all over the World Wide Web. When we say
“all over” what we really mean is via Windows Update and the Microsoft
Download Center, though we doubt it will stay in one place for too
long. Apparently, the new pack offers 1,100 hotfixes and patches, so
maybe your obscure, cheapo soundcard will now function in stereo.”
Great list of app replacements here…
It may be the year 2008, but a whole lot of sucktacular software still
rears its ugly head on PC’s everywhere, even when better-behaved
options are freely available. Whether it’s molasses-slow bloatware,
shameless adware, anemic default apps, or “Your trial period has
expired!” nagware, it’s time to replace stinky Windows software with
its superior (but lesser-known) alternative. Last week we asked what software you should never install on your PC,
and over 200 comments later, you compiled quite a list. Today we’re
going to take a walk down the Crapware Hall of Shame, point and laugh
at the worst offenders, and highlight some better choices.

“Mac OS X only: Freeware application FlashMount streamlines software
installation and speeds up mounting various disk images like DMG and
ISO files. Intended as a default replacement for OS X’s built-in
DiskImageMounter.app—the program that traditionally mounts disk
images—FlashMount forgoes the progress meter, presumably because the
mount is fast enough you don’t need it. The second thing FlashMount
does to speed up software installation is automatically
bypass the EULA (the license agreement) for downloaded software. That
may be fine if you never read the EULAs anyway, but if you’re
particular about licenses you accept, it’s probably not for you.
FlashMount is freeware, Mac OS X only.”
