    D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Wireless Router – Advanced Configurations & Stability at an Attractive Price

    I love WiFi routers. I'm not sure why. But I have about 3 or 4 of them running in my house. Some are providing WiFi networks for all of the people in the family and the other connected devices as well, while others are set up as back-up or private, and only used occasionally. I probably have a lot of…

    Restore Missing iPhone Applications after 3.0 Firmware Upgrade

    I was excited like many others to get the new Apple iPhone firmware 3.0 update last week. Installation was not an issue for me, even after coming from a jailbroken 2G (original) iPhone. That is, until I started looking for some of my applications. For some odd reason, there were several of my applications that had just disappeared. I finally…

    Quick Roundup of iPhone JailBreak & Unlockers

    Just a quick post here. Last weekend as I was installing a 3rd party app, I managed to freeze my iPhone. I could only restart the iPhone but it would freeze at the Apple logo upon each restart.

    Transition from DD-WRT to Tomato on Linksys Router

    I decided I was tired of waiting around for the next version of DD-WRT to come out (v24) which, as of this writing, was at RC7, I believe. I twittered today that I was tired of waiting and got a tweet back saying that I should check out Tomato and that people were saying some good things about it. I…

    iPhone: Experience installing Firmware 1.1.1 on Jailbroken iPhone with 3rd Party applications

    iPhone Firmware 1.1.1 was released today (as expected) to the general public. It came with a warning from Apple: “If you have modified your iPhone’s software, applying this software update may result in your iPhone becoming permanently inoperable.

    iPhone Firmware 1.0.1 released

    With little fanfare, lots of anticipation and a bit of a letdown, the first firmware update from Apple for the iPhone was officially released. It looks like it was primarily a security update with no truly outwardly visible modifications. Details on what was included in the release are below...but first a couple of thoughts.
