Well, Apple has done it again… They have messed with my upgrade cycle. I had decided that I would be on a 1 year cycle for iPad upgrades, and they put out a new 4th Gen iPad before the year is up. The new A6x chip and the Lightning adapter are the things that will […]

Today’s Apple Announcement
Well, today’s Apple announcement wasn’t as exciting as I wanted it to be. It wasn’t because the iPhone 5 wasn’t phenomenal, it wasn’t because it wasn’t faster, thinner, better display, or any other reason. It was because the great Apple Secrecy has been shattered.
