The biggest problem with the iPhone nobody is talking about

Everyone knows about how shitty the newest iPhone's antenna is. Basically you hold the thing in your left hand and you'll see your signal plummet to the point where you can't actually make a call. Now, I haven't had as bad an experience as others - in fact I've found the reception is quite a bit better than the original iPhone (iPhone classic?), iPhone 3G, or even the iPhone 3GS. Apple hasn't really talked up the fact that the phone intelligently picks the best cell tower for your call, rather than prioritizing the cell tower with the strongest signal (techie and hard to market). But I digress, this is the problem nobody is talking about:

Photo of the Week: "Rainbowlt"

I know, I know. Last "Photo of the Day" was a shot of the city, but I just couldn't resist. We've had a couple monster storms come through Chicago over the past week, and the last one really provided some amazing scenes. As crazy as this photo is, you really had to be there. Imagine hearing a tornado siren (think off-tune nuclear siren - really spooky), watching a full double-rainbow appear, and seeing the sky light up with multiple lightening bolts - all at once!

*UPDATE: Insane HD video of this storm... must see!

Bonus picture and photo description after the break:

New AMDAL Icon/Favicon

The poll has closed and the votes are in: the "L!VE" icon is the winner! Sure, the poll yielded a tie, but due to some offine votes and me not caring about the results, MLR and I picked the better of the three. If you frequently find yourself bored on the go, or if you ever use the bathroom, make it easier on yourself and save this page to your homescreen on your soon-to-be-obsolete iPhone. For a quick 4-step process on how to bookmark a website, hit the link...

Photo of the Week: "Lake Michigan"

Every now and then, the lake is unbelievably placid… almost mirror-like. This was one of those mornings - a beautiful sunrise reflected over the water. Unlike the last "Photo of the Week," this picture was created with only one shot. Only a couple enhancements were made to the photo: I boosted the saturation slightly and increased the overall contrast.

Quick photo tip and specs after the jump.

Photo of the Week: "Chicago Sunrise"

So rather than posting every Thursday about tech stuff you probably don't care about, I'm going to switch it up and start giving you guys a "photo of the week." I'll post a variety of different pictures and brief descriptions about how I captured and edited the shot.

For this week, I wanted to show a couple examples of my HDR photography. High Dynamic Range photography, or HDR photography, is something I've always been interested in. Basically, an HDR photo combines a number of photos into one image. The human eye can capture a much larger range of light than any camera sensor, so using several photos can help make up for the loss in range. This is where HDR software comes in, such as Photomatix Pro or Dynamic-Photo HDR. You can really tweak the way your image looks - from absurdly psychedelic to extremely realistic. It's a cool technique that I urge other amateur photographers to try out!

A couple more HDR shots as well as a description of the shot and my camera specs after the jump...

Steve Jobs: This is Why iPhones Don't Have Flash

People have been asking for Flash support on their iPhones for, well, ever since the iPhone came out. Although Flash is primarily used for interactive/annoying ads, websites like Hulu use it to stream video. Hulu on the iPhone would be sweet, right? Wrong, according to Steve Jobs. Mr. Jobs released an official statement on Flash today, and I suggest you read it if you have an iPhone. If you just want the conclusions, hit the break...

Ditch Cable for Hulu Plus?

I'm sure all of you know about Hulu - you know, the free and legal way to watch TV episodes. LA Times claims Hulu will launch their paid option called "Hulu Plus" as early as May 24th. At $10 a month, the "Hulu Plus" plan will gain you access to their archived shows. As you may have noticed, the free version only lets you watch the past 5 episodes, which kindof sucks if you want to start a show from the beginning. I don't know if its worth it yet, since I already pay around $60 a month for DirecTV and another $10 for Netflix, but it's an interesting option.

My question is this:

What the new iPhone looks like...

In case anyone cares. Head over to Gizmodo.com for better pictures and more videos.

If my longer reviews are quick sixes, consider this my shotgun review: I LOVE IT!

P.S. Apple must be furious with this leak. Whoever left this prototype at a restaurant... well... let's just ask the question: Is Steve Jobs gonna have to choke a bitch?

Quick 6 Review: iPad

Oh, the iPad. We've been drooling over it as much as we've been hating on it. It's a product that's been "on the horizon" for the past decade, and now that it's finally here, what do we make of it? It's nothing completely out of the ordinary that completely revolutionizes the way we interact with computers - all it is is a big iPod Touch! But after you start using this thing, you really start to think to yourself: "holy shit, this thing feels like its from the future…" And that's where your's truly comes in - here's my patented Quick Six Review of the iPad:

Google WILL Take Over Your Digital Life

100% of our wonderful amdal readers are affected by Google everyday. Although this may sound like one of those non-profit charity commercials on TV, its totally true. I probably enter the Google Universe more than others, but I bet all of you have used Google for searching, looking up an address, finding an image, or even creating a spreadsheet. The latest from the big G is huge - Google Documents now supports uploading ANY file. This means you can backup your entire documents folder on your computer into the cloud - and access them anywhere. Let me show you what I'm talking about…

In the past, Google Documents was really only good for creating word/excel-ish documents for sharing purposes. Even when it launched, I still found myself using Word and Excel for everything, and emailing them individually for sharing. The beauty of Google Docs is you can have ONE version of a document, and have it shared among a group of people. Very useful, but still not enough to get me hooked.


Now that Google's opened up their upload feature to all file types, you can literally replicate your files. There is a cap - 250mb - so you can't upload full movies or gigantically large powerpoint presentations, but 250mb should cover almost all of your documents. Since I purchased the 200GB of Google storage (with the free Eye-Fi memory card… remember), I have a ton of space to backup my documents/music/pictures. Your gmail account should already have around 7GB of Google storage to get you started, but if you want to do what I did, you can go here to buy more space.

Why is this a big deal? Well, recently my external hard drive failed. Not sure what happened exactly, but it was terrible. I was transferring my pictures/documents/music/movies from one computer to another, but didn't stop to think that once I transferred and deleted the original files, the only place they existed was on my external drive. When that crashed, I thought I lost everything (luckily for me, I'm a nerd and figured out how to get it back) - but the main takeaway was that I need to get my documents backed up in the cloud. Google's storage is secure and safe - everything is replicated so you don't have to worry about losing anything due to hardware breaking. Now that Google Docs has the ability to upload all my files, I'm going all-in, and I really suggest you do the same.

Note: I've mentioned Dropbox before, and I still think Dropbox is a great companion to having your files within Google storage. Since Dropbox syncs a folder on your computer (allowing you to access your files when offline), I would still use Dropbox for the files you access most often. Dropbox's free 2GB of storage should be enough to cover you. For everything else - get it off your risky hard drive and into the cloud!

Future's Holiday Gift Guide

I thought to myself this morning, in the -20 degree temperatures here in Chicago: self, how do you combine your love of technology with the holidays? Well, I think it's pretty obvious… Gift List! So, read on to find out what I think you should buy for yourself, or someone else who loves geeky gadgetry.


For stocking-stuffers or cheap friends (actually, you'd be the cheap one):

SanDisk Cruzer Micro 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive

I use my flash drive almost everyday (waka waka), so a guy like me would appreciate having a 16GB flash drive since they're so easy to lose. Memory is cheap these days, so 16GB for around $30 aint bad.

Power Support Air Jacket for iPhone 3G/3GS

I've never been a fan of putting cases on electronics, especially anything that's made by Apple, but the Power Support cases are fantastic. It has a soft-touch material, so it's not as slippery as the phone itself. It only covers the back, and comes with a protective clear sticker to go over the screen. For those that hate cases, but really need one, this is the best case out there for the iPhone.

For the 50-bucks-should-do-it crowd:

Double Horse Chinook R/C Helicopter

There's something about flying aircraft indoors that just satisfies everything in life. I'm sure every one of you at some point in your life (probably when you were 5) wanted a remote control car/airplane/helicopter/robot. This gift will definitely fill that void - for about 2 weeks before it breaks into pieces. I've had 2 R/C helicopters in my life, and the average lifespan for both was about 2 weeks… but those two weeks were so fucking fun.

Google Storage + Free Eye-Fi memory card

Ok, not really sure how you can gift this to someone, but I suppose you could give them the money to do it (since you need a google account). Basically, when you sign up to add 200 or more gigabytes of data from Google, you get a free Eye-Fi card. What the hell is an Eye-Fi card? It's actually pretty cool - it can be used with any camera that accepts SD memory cards (most cameras, but make sure they don't have some other memory card requirement, like Sony's Duo Pro cards). When you pop the 4GB memory card into your camera, you can wirelessly transfer the songs onto your computer, or directly to Picasa/Flickr/Facebook. Pretty awesome for people that like taking pictures and using Facebook (which is like, every single girl in the world). Anyways, click here to learn more. Oh, and to check camera compatibility, click here to learn more.

For the I-still-have-an-income crowd:

Canon PowerShot S90 Digital Camera

At $399, its a pretty expensive point-and-shoot camera, but it's the highest quality camera out there for the size. 3" LCD screen, 3.8x optical zoom, high-iso, and a quality 10MP sensor make this camera the best picture-taking pocketable-device. For those that are more interested in the big boys (DSLRs) I highly recommend my camera: the Nikon D90.

Barnes&Noble Nook eBook Reader

Ok, this isn't really a Christmas/Chanuka gift because they're sold out through mid-January, but its still a great gift. In the eBook world, there are three major players: the Amazon Kindle, the Nook, and the Sony eBooks. Never get a Sony, since they aren't tied to the massive collections of books that Amazon or B&N have. The reason why I picked the Nook over the Kindle is because the Nook has an awesome feature - a full color touch screen powered by Android located directly below the e-ink screen. Having this screen opens the door to countless possibilities with this device; for example, listening to pandora while reading a book (maybe I should read a book about grammar, cause I have no fucking clue why we even have a semi-colon).

So that's my list… I hope you don't think less of me. For those of you that just want to give something free, go and bake some cookies or something. Since most of you are on the East Coast, I can't do that for you, but here are my free gifts to you:

Evernote.com
I use Evernote every single day. Basically its a cloud-based note taking application. I have it on my iPhone, PC, Mac and work computer. I use it for keeping an up-to-date To Do list, flight confirmation numbers list, apartment dimensions list (for when I'm at Home Depot or Ikea), holiday gifts list, and more… Seriously, you should start using this right now if you don't already - ITS FREE!

Mint.com
Some people have issues linking their bank accounts with online services, but Mint is one of those things the internet has brought us (like Pandora) that's truly wonderful. I have all my checking and savings accounts, credit cards, Schwabb, and even 401k accounts. The iPhone app is awesome, and I check it everyday for monthly budgeting purposes.

Dropbox.com
I started using Dropbox about a month ago, and I love it. The free account gives you 2GB of space in the cloud. What it does is sync a folder on your hard drive with the folder on their servers… which means you can share your files across multiple computers easily (and since it's syncing the folder on your physical drive, you can still access these files offline after syncing). As mentioned above, I lose my flash drives pretty frequently, so using dropbox to transfer stuff from computer to computer is a great alternative.

Happy Holidays!

Read Online Articles Easily And More Efficiently

I came across this fantastic application reading David Pogue's column at nytimes.com. Pretty much every page you go to nowadays has those new expandable ads that almost fills your screen when you hover over them with your mouse. With all the flashing and blinking going on, I find it hard to actually read certain articles online - and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Enter Readability. This simple app changed the way I interact with the internet:

The picture above should give you an idea, but basically what Readability does is take the text from the page you are reading and format it into a much easier and simpler way. It removes all ads and unnecessary formatting to give you what you actually want to read - the article. Don't worry, if there are images within the article, those will show up as well.

To get Readability working (it will literally take you 12 seconds), follow these simple steps:

1. Go here
2. Setup your preferences (I like the eReader styling the best)
3. Drag the "Readability" link into your bookmarks menu
4. On any page you're reading, just click your new "Readability" bookmark and it will format it for you

Like any one-size-fits-all product, it doesn't work for everything. That being said, if there is a large block of text I'd like to read online, the first thing I'll be doing is clicking my Readability bookmark.

Enjoy

Quick-Six Review: Slingbox Edition

Some of you may have heard about Slingbox, but others may think its some weird sexual contraption. Its not… unless of course you want to stream the Playboy channel from your cable TV box. Basically what it does is take what's being shown on your TV and stream it through the internet to your computer, mobile phone, refrigerator, etc. I find it pretty useful for business trips where there's free WiFi or when I'm stuck in an airport where "The View" is the only thing being shown in the lobby area. Check out my attempt at making a video preview and read my 6 points below:

1. Its Easy: Much like any good sexual contraption, its really easy to use and setup. All you do is plug it into the wall, the TV, and the internet and you're halfway done. From there, you download the software from slingbox.com and go through a simple wizard to complete the setup. That's about it - you're now able to watch all those fantastic Don Draper moments from your laptop.


2. Quality: So the Slingbox I'm using is the Slingbox Solo. It has HD inputs, but doesn't stream in HD - you need the Slingbox Pro-HD to do that. But from what I've experienced, the Solo does just fine and looks great on both my macbook pro and iPhone. As I mentioned in the video above, there is a lag between the real-time TV and what you're seeing on the Slingbox client. Not a big deal at all, but it's there. The audio is really good to and doesn't have problems keeping up with the video like some other streaming applications do.


3. Mobile Applications: This is where the Slingbox goes from cool to awesome. Once you download the app onto your iPhone, Windows Mobile, or Blackberry smartphone, you can immediately watch your TV after some minor setup. I've used it on both a Windows Mobile phone (Motorola Q9) and my iPhone 3GS and both work really well. Keep in mind for the iPhone, you need to be on WiFi to use this app.


4. Control: From either the mobile application or the desktop application, you can easily control what's on your cable box. I use it a lot for accessing my saved shows on my DVR, or even watching live Football games when I'm in an area that doesn't show my local team. As you can see in the pic above, there's a pretty intuitive remote that works with most cable boxes (I'm on RCN, not Comcast, but the remotes work the same). Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause, Video On Demand - its all there.

5. Use it for other TVs: Sling also has another product that puts what's on your cable box onto another TV (like in another room), and its called the SlingCatcher (I know, another sexual contraption name). Think of it as taking what you can do on your laptop and easily throwing it up on the TV screen. Its not useful to me, but I could see this being helpful if you didn't want to pay for cable and hooked up a Slingbox at your parent's house and the SlingCatcher at your house.

6. Cost: Ok, this part may push you away from this pretty fantastic product, but here goes: the Slingbox Solo is $160 on Amazon and the Pro-HD is $260. Its not cheap, but it really is a great addition to your media center if you watch a lot of TV. I should also mention the iPhone app is $30, so the total cost of the Solo and the app is around 2 Franklins. If you're thinking you might want to buy, I'd appreciate you going through Amazon (I get a referral). Here are links to the Solo, Pro-HD, and Catcher for your convenience:

Pulp Wave Fiction

For those of you who have heard about Google Wave (its totally awesome and makes me remember how much I wanted gmail when gmail was invite-only) I think this video best explains what it is. To sum it up, its the "allow me to retort" scene from Pulp Fiction.

Did I mention I really want Google Wave?

All My Apps Are Pointless

I may have to dome  over his username cause I keep writing about my fav Apple product, the iPhone. If you hit the "Future" link to the right, you'll see most of my posts are about how sweet the iPhone is - and you might as well add this one to that list. Without further adieu, here are my favorite iPhone games:

1. My new favorite is Meteor Blitz - its addictive, fun, has good graphics, and isn't too difficult. Its a great time waster and has a simple storyline. Basically you shoot meteors and alien ships similar to the old 2D asteroid game. Trust me, its addicting. $1.99


More Apps below...

2. If you think you have a good vocabulary, check out Word Scramble 2. There's a 4x4 grid of letters and you drag your finger across the letters to create words. The object of the game is to get as many words as possible in 30 seconds. Its pretty fun, but it hurts my feelings 'cause I seem to only know 3-letter words. FREE!








3. Ok, next one up is a great puzzle game called Fling! (The exclamation is part of the app's name, not my excitement… although I am excited). Think of it as chess with only rooks, and you bump rather than replace… you'll see what I mean when you play it. It starts out easy and gets progressively harder. For only a buck, its worth it.








4. Boom Brigade. 3 steps to winning: 1. Run around 2. Kill Aliens 3. Profit! This game combines tower defense, line drawing, and top-down shooters. It's pretty tough though, but a good time waster. 2 Bucks




5. The winner of the "All My Apps Are Pointless" award goes to rope'n'fly 2. This game is highly addicting as you try and beat your previous score (never-ending games are very dangerous in the bathroom, so word of caution). The picture explains it enough, but you're basically spiderman swinging through a 2D city. A dollar.

I'm sure there are other great, albeit pointless, games out there - talk about them in the comments! Also, I didn't mention another great game, Harbor Master, in this post but you can read my Quick-Six review here.

For Photos, Ditch Facebook for Flickr

UPDATE: Keg Jump photo added
Facebook is great for easily sharing pictures from last night's debauchery, but it really falls short on quality. If you've ever tried to print out one of your Facebook photos (or someone else's for that matter) you'll immediately notice what I'm talking about. Do you archive your photos on your computer? Do you delete them immediately after uploading to Facebook? If you've ever taken a picture that you may want to print someday, I would recommend using Flickr for the following reasons:

Facebook takes your photos and compresses the hell out of them. So, that really nice 8 megapixel camera you just bought might as well be a cell phone camera (in terms of resolution). Facebook drops the resolution to 604 by 401 pixels - that prints to a MAXIMUM of about 5.5 inches by 8.5 inches. So, if you're ever going to print out that awesome keg jump photo, don't expect it to look nice in anything larger than a 5" x 7" frame. A free Flickr account, on the other hand, doubles your resolution to 1024 by 680 pixels. For $25 bucks a year, you can upload your full resolution files (for my camera, thats 4288 by 2848 pixels) and have access to an unlimited amount of storage.

Flickr also just released their official iPhone app - it allows you to easily access your entire photostream from your iPhone. The app is noticeably more solid than the other flickr apps out there in terms of navigation and stability.

There's also a couple options for displaying your flickr photos on Facebook. You can have Flickr update your Facebook News Feed and Mini-Feed every time you upload a photo by linking your accounts from your Flickr account management page. If you just want to show some of your photos, there is a Facebook application called "My Flickr." All you have to do is link My Flickr to your Flickr account and you'll be able to have a box within your profile that shows up to 15 thumbnails of your Flickr photos. Since I'm recommending you move away from Facebook for photography, I think having Flickr update your feed is the best option.

If you do take a lot of photos, or just want to backup your old pictures to the cloud, I would definitely recommend at least trying out Flickr with a free account. Once you start to like it, like I have, you'll want to pony up the 25 bucks for the pro account. Any of you out there already use Flickr? Anyone think Facebook is still better? Say so in the comments...

The Future is Now: Bionic Eye Edition

Don't jump to any conclusions about the title: Bionic Eye is simply the name of a sweet new app for the iPhone 3GS. A few weeks ago, I talked about augmented reality in the Yelp app, but pointed out it was buggy and didn't work very well. I downloaded Bionic Eye today and I'm pretty impressed with the results:

First of all, you need an iPhone 3GS to utilize this app - the compass is required to make all this "augmented reality" stuff actually work. Luckily for this post, I own a 3GS. According to the app, Bionic Eye supports these points of interests:

Fast Food:
- Mcdonald's
- Subway
- Taco Bell
- Burger King
- KFC
- Wendy's
- Johnny Rockets
- Arby's
- Carl's Jr
- Panda Express
- Hardee's
- Fatburger

Restaurants:
- Domino's Pizza
- Pizza Hut
- Hooters
- The Cheesecake Factory
- Hard Rock Cafe
- Chili's Grill & Bar

Coffer, Pastry & Ice Cream:
- Starbucks
- Ben & Jerry's
- Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

Leisure:
- WiFi
- Tourist Locations
- Apple Store

Accomodation:
- Holiday Inn
- Best Western
- Marriott
- Hilton
- Ramada
- Super 8
- Motel 6

Subway Stations:
- New York Subway
- Washington Metro
- Chicago L Rapid Transit

As you can see in the picture, the restaurant and fast food POIs work pretty well. I had a problem downloading the Chicago L stations for $2.99, so I have to call Apple to figure that out. You can hold your phone up to look around to find the nearest POI, or hold it parallel to the ground to get an easy listing of things nearby. So far so good, and it's definitely more refined than Yelp's prototype, "Monicle."

Quick Six Review: Motorola CLIQ

It’s been quite a while since Motorola had a phone worth buying, but the CLIQ may be the end to their drought. When it comes to consumer phones nowadays, there are three types of people: dumbphone people, iPhone people, and other-smartphone people. I think it’s safe to assume our loyal AMDAL readers don’t really care about dumbphones (see MLR’s attempt at going “dumb” for a month here). That being said, if you like the iPhone, go get an iPhone, but if you don’t really want an iPhone, consider the Motorola CLIQ for these reasons…

1. Android: With more and more phones coming out with Google’s mobile OS, consumers have more and more options. In my opinion, Android offers just as nice a mobile experience as the iPhone (save Apple’s app store), but people didn’t really latch on quickly because the first phone, the T-Mobile G1, was ass-ugly. One thing Android doesn't have yet is Microsoft Exchange support, so you suits may need to look elsewhere if getting your work email on your phone is important.

2. Social Networking: Along with the announcement of the CLIQ, Motorola announced their own "skin" to Android called Moto Blur. Basically, all this is doing is throwing some Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, etc. widgets on your homescreen. Its a cool feature, and something I kinda wish the iPhone did rather than just a static image with "Slide to Unlock" at the bottom. Then again, some people's tweets or FB updates are suspect, and could be bad for business displaying them out in the open all the time.

3. Full QWERTY keyboard: Fat thumbs? iPhone keyboard driving you crazy? The keyboard on the CLIQ is actually pretty nice. I'm not sure why the phone's called the CLIQ since its mainly a touchscreenphone, but the keys are easy to press and separated properly. The D-pad to the left of the keyboard will be awesome for games when decent games actually come out. The back-lighting is also pretty solid, and easy to see at night.

4. OLED Screen: The screen is really what makes the CLIQ nicer than the iPhone. It may be about the same size, but the clarity is noticeably better than the iPhone. This may not really mean anything to you, but just know it's sweet, ok?

5. T-Mobile: The thing I hate most about my iPhone is AT&T. The service SUCKS - I constantly get dropped calls in my apartment, which is pretty unacceptable seeing as I live in the 3rd largest city in the country. T-mobile is a lot cheaper than AT&T and the service is probably just as shitty.

6. Replaceable Battery: I remember when my RAZR would last 4 or 5 days on a charge, but these smartphones really only get a day's worth. If you run out of battery on the iPhone, you're SOL, but if you get a secondary battery for the CLIQ, you can actually swap it with your dead battery easily.

So, if you're in the market for a new non-iPhone smartphone, the CLIQ may be of interest. Motorola has been in the toilet, so this phone really is their last attempt at regaining market share - which means this phone has been heavily developed and, from the company's point of view, can't fail. The price hasn't been locked down yet, but I would assume it should be around $199 with a new contract (maybe less, depending on T-Mobile) and will be available this holiday season. For a cool product walkthrough, check out Motorola's dedicated page here.

Quick Six Review - HarborMaster iPhone App

The iPhone and iPod Touch have really changed the way I play video games. Sure, games like Madden and Halo should really only be played on a TV screen with a controller, but some games are just as fun on a portable device. Now that I have a bunch of ridiculously stupid and mindlessly addictive games right in my pocket, I can waste time whenever I want. Enter HarborMaster - the extremely well designed and graphically appealing harboring/docking/screen fondling game. Its awesome for these reasons:

1. Its Easy - I hate games that are impossible to play - they make the bathroom experience less enjoyable.

2. No Real Story Line - All you do is drag boats into docks and drag them back out without having them run into each other. Its simple, and you just do it to the point where one of them crashes - no levels or lives, just fun.

3. Nice Graphics - Sure, the iPhone can run games that look as nice as the Playstation 1 (Remember that, back in the nineties?), but cartoony looking games seem to work the best on the small screen.

4. Island Music - Everyone in the bathroom will know you're having a relaxing time.

5. Soon-to-be Multiplayer Support - When the update comes out, you'll be able to play with the guy/girl in the next stall! I hope they allow you to customize the "you've been challenged" message so I can say "the guy playing the island music wants to play an iPhone game with you."

6. Pirates - Excerpt from the game's description on the App Store: "Pirates!"

To get HarborMaster, click here to download the app in iTunes - I highly recommend it for a whopping $0.99.
