World’s Most Expensive iPads

By

Once Apple’s premiere iPad tablet hit the shelves, it was only a matter of time before luxury gadgeteers got their hands on a few and set to work on creating the most expensive iPads in the world.
Mervis Diamond Importers’ Diamond iPad – $19,999
World's Most Expensive iPad - Mervis Diamond Importers
Mervis Diamond Importers bills their offering as “the world’s first diamond iPad.” Available on June 1st, 2010, this elite iPad is bedecked with 11.43 carats of diamonds in a micro-pave setting. With stones graded G/H (near colorless) and VS2/SI1 (slightly or very slightly included), this diamond device is sure to make you the envy of your peers.
iPad Supreme Gold Edition – $192,000
World's Most Expensive iPad - Stuart Hughes iPad Supreme Gold Edition
The iPad Supreme Gold Edition, similarly to Stuart Hughes’s other “Supreme” devices, boasts a 22k gold shell weighing 2,100 grams and encrusted with 53 flawless diamonds totaling 25.5 carats and individually set in the shape of the familiar Apple logo.
Of course, all of this customization would be next to worthless if Hughes hadn’t used Apple’s top-of-the-line 64GB 3G iPad as the basis for his creation.
Only ten iPad Supremes have been created and each is priced at a hefty $192,000. If you’re not lucky enough to be able to purchase one, however, Goldstriker International offers a diamond-less 24k gold iPad for a more reasonable $3,242.

How to turn off Ringbacks on Rogers

By
Rogers just update you to the latest iPhone value pack, or figure out some other way to stick you with their ringbacks service, and you’re desperate to find out how to turn it off? They don’t want to make it easy — they want you to pay money for more Ringbacks — but after over an hour of waiting on 3 different customer service and tech support reps, I got the answer. Here it is: From your Rogers iPhone, text 555 with the word OFF. You’ll get an autoreponder with a link to http://rogers.com/ringbacksoff Tap the link. You need to be on Rogers’ network (i.e. not Wi-Fi) to access this page! Scroll down to the bottom and turn OFF both Ringbacks and Voice Greetings. (Yes, Ringbacks are so annoying they require and additionally annoying Voice Greeting to beg the people who call you not to hang up while they’re annoyed by the Ringback.) Rogers tried to get me to give Ringbacks a chance, saying if I loved the Beatles and my friends new I loved the Beatles, I could entertain them w...

How to Reload Operating System on Nuked or Bricked BlackBerry

By
Good Afternoon Class! I’ve been a bit slack in my  BlackBerry 101  lectures as of late – I blame the  Smartphone Round Robin , all the  Contests  we’ve been running on the site and the busy Holiday Season. My apologies! This will be the last 101 lecture of the year… but we’ll be back in 2008 bigger and better than ever. Today’s lecture isn’t really a “newbie” topic, but it’s one that I wanted to cover because in the past three weeks I’ve gone through it half a dozen times and that is  Reloading the Operating System on a BlackBerry that’s totally “Nuked” . I’m not sure if nuked is the technically appropriate word for it (I also use one that starts with an F and ends in an ED and has a CK in the middle), but it is how I refer to a BlackBerry that is stuck in a permanent reboot cycle and is completely, completely unusable. With a Nuked Berry, essentially the device turns on (red LED comes on for a few seconds), then you see the white screen with the hou...

Best Ipad and Iphone Photography Apps

By
Longtime Exposure Calculator Price: Free/ Available for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad Long-exposure photography fanatics will know that an ND filter can be essential when it comes to extending exposure time for those all-important open shutter shots. Longtime Exposure Calculator by HPR-Solutions is a free iPhone,iPad and iPod touch app that enables you to dial in a projected shutter speed to one column and then 'add' an ND filter as graded in both f/stops and filter names (eg 3 stop or ND8) in the other column. The app then calculates the adjusted exposure. While it is, in part, possible to TTL meter with an ND filter attached to the front of a camera's lens, the results won't always be accurate, and there's a point where things get so dark that it's not possible - especially with in-vogue super-dense filters. Having an off-camera calculation method such as this makes it quick and easy to figure out exposures without so much as needing to put those brain...
