Personally, if you have AT&T service I would go for the iPhone 3GS. There are many more applications that work "better" if you will for and on the iPhone because they were designed with it in mind as opposed to the iPod Touch. I must admit before I got my iPhone I would mess around with the iPod Touch and use applications, etc but it's definitely a different experience on the iPhone. I think that has a lot to do with the fact that AT&T has decent (good) coverage in my area, which allows me to be constantly connected. Also, just throwing this out there but Palm is supposedly relea

Mandy and I are giving away 2 $100 HP VIP Giftcards on August 29th, 2009 (this Saturday) @ 3PM EST. Since you are all forum members all you need to do is join the live chat at LIVE.BESTTECHIE.NET at the time of the giveaway. Also, this is worth mentioning: You need to be in the chat room, but do not need to be present. By that I mean, you need to actually be IN the chat, but do not have to be at your computer. Also please login to chat with the same username as the forum. It is recommended you're actually present at the time of the giveaway if possible though! Good luck to everyone! B

If you can provide me with some FTP access, I can take a look at what you did so far with regards to uploading the files. I guess SSH access might be necessary too (depending on the problem). B

It doesn't appear the file is even on the server. Are you sure you uploaded it to the right location? Because your main directory is just static html pages... What are the exact steps you took so far to attempt to install WordPress? B

Do you still need some help? I'd be willing to see if I can assist you. B

Just wanted to let everyone know I'm back home now! Gnomedex was great! B

I know Mandy has Dish, I think she likes it. I know her Dad loves it... so... I'll point her to this thread when I get a chance. B

Hey everyone, Just a quick post to let you all know I will be away (but probably checking in - so don't behave too badly for Matt, TT, and the mods) from Today (Aug. 19th, 2009) until Aug. 24th, 2009. I am heading to Seattle with Mandy for Gnomedex. Gnomedex is the tech conference hosted by Chris Pirillo as many former TTV forum members and viewers know. I've wanted to attend this conference since I was 14 so this is super exciting for me. I'll also be meeting up with Ryan, Phil, and Pierce there too. The first time I will meet them in person, so that will definitely be cool too. It's a

Just a quick update: Approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes until the giveaway! Again, it's at 3PM EST! Remember, just join the chat at live.besttechie.net and you're automatically eligible. B

TechCrunch Co-editor, Erick Schonfeld made a blog post about his issues with Firefox 3.5. However, in that blog post, he posted a screenshot (see in the blog post) which included a tab labeled “TechCrunch Spy”. Which obviously created some discussion in the comment section of that post.

Yeah, I ran into this post from Amy recently http://forums.online-sweepstakes.com/archi...p/t-148992.html Ah, what a difference five years make. I emailed Dave and am waiting for an answer. At least it was not bounced back undeliverable. Tried contacting browninator but he has not been to G4 in some time and his email is a college email an no longer valid. Ahhh! There's still traces of that nick online?! B

Haha! Love it! B
