I do a lot of preparing for the zombie apocalypse—weighing escape routes, considering fortifications, contemplating the metaphysical nature of the undead, et cetera.

This Is Probably Taking Your Apple Hate Too Far

A 25-year-old moving to New York is willing to pay $1400 for a room in SoHo. However, there’s no way in hell he would put up with any iPhone or iPad user, so apartment sharing candidates must be Apple-free: The New York Observer says that Vince Thomas—the guy who posted the ad—is a big Android…

A Bumper Won’t Keep Your Dropped iPhone 4 Safe

While Apple’s Bumper is a decent way to prevent iPhone 4 reception problems, it unfortunately—and somewhat obviously—doesn’t keep the device all that safe if it takes a fall. https://gizmodo.com/the-best-semi-solutions-for-iphone-4-reception-problems-5573179 The NYT’s Nick Bilton discovered this sad fact earlier after dropping a Bumper-clad iPhone 4 onto concrete.
