Verizon CEO: Short iPhone Lines Due to Strong Online Sales

Man, oh man; just what would we do if we didn't have the Internet to fall back on as an excuse?

As we've pointed out in the not too distant past, the Verizon iPhone 4 wasn't as well adopted as the talking heads at Verizon wanted us to believe.

Now they've given us a reason as to why we saw virtually no one queuing in line on that fateful morning, February 10th...

Apple’s New Thunderbolt Technology Could Eventually Come to the iPhone

Apple recently introduced a new connection technology dubbed "Thunderbolt." In Apple's MacBook Pro refresh, the Thunderbolt port has been added as a new wired connection architecture that Apple hopes will unify its connection technologies.

The key feature for the Thunderbolt architecture is speed. Thunderbolt promises to be lighting fast (pardon the pun) and offer incredible speeds for data transfers. The need for Thunderbolt is evident for the desktop, but it's not a stretch to imagine that Thunderbolt could eventually make its way to iOS devices.

NoVoiceMail Nixes Your iPhone’s Voicemail Button

Who in their right mind would want to get rid of their voicemail button? Apparently, at least a few people, that's who.

That's because a new jailbreak tweak recently showed up on the Cydia store entitled NoVoiceMail, and I'm betting some of you have already downloaded it.

What a perfect tweak for those of you who never check their voicemail, for those of you who never return Auntie May's repeated phone calls…

Geohot Interviewed Again Over Sony Lawsuit

In case you've been too busy playing on your PS3, renowned iPhone hacker George "Geohot" Hotz is in the middle of a heated lawsuit with Sony. Geohot "jailbroke" the Sony PS3 and circumvented Sony's DRM. The ramification of his exploit is that Sony is now suing Geohot for "encouraging piracy" on their platform.

Geohot has done another interview on The Alyona Show in which he addresses the issues with the Sony debate and clarifies his stance on the subject. Check out the video after the break.

Girl Scouts Will Use the iPhone To Sell Their Irresistible Cookies

In the latest random news, the Girl Scouts are going tech-savvy. The Girl Scouts of Northeast Ohio will now be swooning you out of your money with Intuit's GoPayment app for iPhone and Android.

Today is Steve Job’s Birthday!

It's a big day for Apple. The industry titan has released new MacBookPro models, an OS X Lion preview has been seeded to develepors, and the man himself, Steve Jobs, turns 56 years old today!

The world would be a much different place without Steve's influence on the technology sphere. He has been quoted admitting he never knew he would have such success when he started Apple with Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne in a garage circa 1976.

How Will the iPad 2 Be Named?

We've been talking about the iPad 2 for while now, or at least we've heard rumors about it, but there's one thing we haven't speculated about: it's name. We all call it iPad 2 but do you really think Apple didn't come up with something a little more original for such a flagship product?

Early reports and leaks claim that the iPad 2 will be much thinner. Could it then be named "iPad Air"? If I had to take a guess, I'd say the name of the iPad 2 will actually be "iPad II". It's pronounced the same but it's spelled differently.

What do you think? Can you predict the name of the iPad 2?
