Digital Daily: Ubergizmo Reviews iPhone 4

July 15th, 2010  •   Posted by: mark  •   Posted in: technology  •   Be the first to comment!

You’ve heard it all by now. Problems with iPhone’s antenna, and it’s signal loss when holding it a particular way (aka the Death Grip), which has led to a lot of controversy, to where most recently Consumer Reports (does anyone still read that?) stated that they “cannot recommend the iPhone 4” until Apple resolves said issue. So what does one do? Wait it out? Buy an iPhone 3GS? Is the iPhone 4 really that bad? Well, if you aren’t sure of getting one, you’ll want to head over to Ubergizmo where they just published a review of the latest iPhone, and as usual, they come correct.

Sports Story: National League Ends 13-Game Losing Streak

July 14th, 2010  •   Posted by: Mark Sabb  •   Posted in: Sports Story  •   Be the first to comment!

With most sports the All Star game is nothing more than a circle-jerk of celebrity and fan-boy-isms. In Baseball, the dynamic is different, as leagues play for the World Series home-field advantage. For the first time in 13 years, the National League will have the edge come October.

“Charlie Manuel told us: ‘Let’s go out and kick their ass,’ ” said San Diego Padres pitcher Heath Bell. “That’s what he told us before the game. And that’s what we did. I don’t care that the score was 3-1. All that matters is that we won. Finally.”

The National League halted its record winless streak in the All-Star game at 13 games Tuesday, using the same formula in the 3-1 victory at Angel Stadium that carried it to its previous All-Star victory, at Philadelphia’s Veterans Stadium in 1996.
