19 Apr 2010Today I had a problem with my iPhone again. When I leave the office, I have to go down to an underground parking garage to get my car. Obviously I lose what little signal I actually get at work. One might think that as soon as you get out of the garage, you’d be fine. [...]

10 Apr 2010Let’s get one thing straight right out of the gate. Just because your “users” aren’t paying, doesn’t mean they aren’t customers.
