The 3G iPhone comes out tomorrow - and the reviews are in. The Wall Street Journal, USA Today and The New York Times are all weighing in on what they think of Apple's latest offering.

Canada kind of won their battle against Rogers - They've added a "promotional" plan - through August 31st, Canadians can sign up for 6G of data for an extra 30 bucks a month. But wait! They wanted UNLIMITED data!

Apple says not to worry about the fact that iPhones can only be activated in the store and not at home - the wait time will only be 10 to 15 minutes. Great. If you're first or second. Not so great if you're tenth, or behind the person who's an Apple n00b.

YouTube sure is popular, but it's not really great at making money! So they're going to run pre-roll and post-roll advertising on certain videos even though they know users won't be happy about that.

A study by Nielsen says that people spend more time watching television on their sets than they do watching television online. But at least this year they measured how many people were watching online! Last year it wasn't even a question.

If you dig virtual worlds but don't dig paying for Second Life, you might try Google's Lively. It's free and you can put your room on your website or social networking page. Google's got some rooms to get you started on your journey.

Don't forget! I'm looking for your opinion on what drives you up the wall about technology. What's your pet peeve?
