There’s a UK company that made a teenager repellent that they named Mosquito .  Basically the idea is that the younger you are the better hearing you get.  At around the age of 20 your hearing starts to progressively get worse.

Here is a clip that I generated .  I guarantee it’s not something stupid.  You can try listening through your computer speakers or laptop speakers, but the quality might not make it through.  Also don’t turn it up too loud..  Apparently my hearing is still good (a little too good in this case) and I honestly have a headache from hearing that thing.

Let’s see how many of you are basically deaf from listening to your ipods too loud =)

*note* don’t use your speakers (especially laptop speakers).  The frequency is REALLY high, meaning your speakers will not even respond to those frequencies.  I’ve tried with my work and home laptop and both can’t reproduce the sound..

Here you go!  Xmas must be early for you guys.  You can download the pics and have Dennis all year around!

The quest for the perfect phone is a long and expensive journey. Last summer I bought a Treo 650 off of Ebay with limited use. The phone was perfect. It got rid of my Dell Axim x50v and my Sony T610 all in one purchase. It also had the ability to load custom programs, had an awesome form factor, and allowed me to synch email and browse the internet for last minute information. Or so I thought…

The Treo 650 as well as the rest of the Treo line (including the 700 series) has had numerous issues since it’s inception. The phone works great when it is defaulted. As soon as you start loading programs, the Treo slowly becomes unstable. I have never met someone who did not complain about this. My Treo had little to no programs on it and was flashed to the latest firmware. I’ve tried numerous hacks, suggetions, etc. At the end of the day it was unacceptable to have your phone randomly reboot.
This leads up to the T-Mobile SDA. Having had the Treo 650 for quite some time, I realized I use my phone more for ‘pulling’ data. This helped me choose between the T-Mobile SDA and T-Mobile MDA.

Here’s a picture of the two side by side to show the difference.

Thanks to Apples iPhone 3.0 OS update, we finally get features such as Copy/Cut/Paste, AutoFill, and universal searching! 

Anyone that stores their passwords in applications such as SplashID knows that it was impossible to use any of the randomly generated passwords inside mobile Safari.  With the addition of copy/paste this problem is now solved!  I can finally use apps like eBay, Bank of America, and PayPal securely and easily now!

The searching on the iPhone rivals anything on your computer desktop (except maybe spotlight/google desktop).  The speed it searches through my mail is phenomenal.  I find it faster to search through my corporate email on my iPhone than on my desktop Outlook!

Thanks Apple for a great release!  I can finally use my iPhone in a more productive manner now!
