The iPhone 4 Bumper program launched on Apple.com today and you can either select your iPhone bumper through iPhone 4 Case Program (click to download) app or get your refund. Luckily, those who paid with a Credit or Debit card can verify the status of their refund–which is sent back to the account automatically. I verified mine but it could take up to one billing cycle to see the refund. Oy! >.<
Here is one for the kiddies…
Her Interactive is will be launching a new addition to their Nancy Drew PC game series titled called Nancy Drew: Trail of the Twister on June 29, 2010, the 80th anniversary year for Nancy Drew.
More importantly, this will be the first time that the game series will also be available for Mac in a dual format disc for Windows and Apple OS. The game is rated E for Mild Violence and Comic Mischief.
Personally, I’ve never read Nancy Drew as a kid, especially since it’s marketed to girls. So this post might be appealing to moms and dads for their young daughters who are hooked on the book series, if not already the previous Windows gaming releases.
The only thing I can say from my end is that during my time as a bookseller for Barnes & Noble, Nancy Drew books were a commodity one would lose life and limb over…until a certain young wizard came along. *cough* Harry Potter
Thanks to @mikepfs he tweeted about an awesome article from TUAW (The Unofficial Apple Blog) that the iPhone 4 works with the 1st Generation iPhone Dock. Now I am immediately led to wonder if Apple knew about this or was it a major oversight, among other things. Anyway here are pics of my iPhone 4 in my 1st Gen iPhone dock.
From what I’ve gathered from across the web, iOS4 is rumored to be released at around 10:00am (pacific standard time); 1:00pm (eastern standard time). But you ain’t heard that from me *pointing* —-> razorianfly.com: “The Countdown to iOS4″
iPhone 4 pre-order access has failed on two fronts: both Apple and AT&T’s pre-order sites, but probably due to AT&T’s servers getting locked up or should I say clogged with requests. I got these two screens some time after 5:40am today. My wild guess is that everybody thought to do what I did. “Oh I’ll just check the site in the early morning, do my pre-order, no problemo.” Nay. Instead, we are all hit with a strong sense of déjà vu. Think back to the release of the iPhone 3G. I was among the many people that walked a out of AT&T in my area with a shiny black brick for several hours after purchase because AT&T’s iPhone sales processing literally went from a run to a crawl then a halt 30 minutes after opening it’s doors.

Anyway, there is a bright side to having woken up early this morning. Apple decided to suprise us all with a new Mac Mini.
Besides the obvious physical changes to bring it in line with the unibody design that Apple’s other products have gone through there are these configurable options:
Then there is the Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server.
It has been hard not to hear and see tragic news of the natural disaster that has hit the island of Haiti. Since I live in South Florida, I have a good number of Haitian friends, co-workers, and mutual acquaintances. But since Hurricane Katrina I have been a bit sketchy about which relief organization to donate my money. So when I got an email about the option to donate to the American Red Cross through the iTunes store, I became curious and donated. If you’ve purchased anything from the iTunes store since the this tragedy struck Haiti on January 12, then you’re already well ahead on being able to easily donate to a good cause in under 3 minutes. 
1. Basically you go to iTunes and click on the button for American Red Cross Haiti Earthquake Relief Donation (which you can do here by clicking “Earthquake Relief”).
2. Next you can choose the amount that you would like starting from as little as $5.00 to $200.00 dollars.
3. To pay the amount of your chosen donation all you have to do is log in the same way you would when purchasing an app, song, album or movie from the iTunes Store.
4. Confirm your purchase.
5. And voila! You are all done giving a moment of your effort, time and a portion of your hard-earned money to what will benefit a people in need right now.
