Yelp In Australia

Starting today, we hope that Aussies will find Yelp.com.au to be a fun place to share their thoughts on who has the best cup of coffee or where to find the most eclectic collection of local fashion designers. Over time, we'd expect that Yelp will help people find a great dentist or mechanic.  No local business is too small to be reviewed, and therein lie the hidden gems. via Yelp Official Blog.
I wonder if its too late, has foursquare et al captured the hearts and minds of geeks in the time it took Yelp to come to Australia?

So How Does Apple Know You’re in the Store?

Employees armed with iPod touches get notified when customers enter the stores with their location-aware iPhones (for services like in-store pickup or an appointment), or when customers request help using in-store iPads. All the employee has to do is select a customer in a queue, get their position on an in-store map, and voilà! An an employee walks up to the customer and assists them.
Very cool or very creepy, depending on your point of view. via So How Does Apple Know You’re in the Store?.

Apple Should Buy VM Ware or Parallels

...Not only would it be fantastic to have either product bundled in with the OS, but next time some long time Mac user like me gets cocky, starts complaining about Lion, etc etc, a friendly genius could just say "try Windows for a while.."
I've been installing Windows 7 on my Mac for the last 3 days. Almost done!

Apple Store Black Friday Sale

None of the Apple products are discounted enough to care, but there are some good savings on accessories. I picked up an iRig iMic I've been wanting to get my hands on since about February.. The Mophie Juice Packs ($64) and Incase Bags ($40 - $90) are a great deal. Apple Black Friday Sale.

Single Use Device | Blackberry Playbook

As single use devices go, my Blackberry Playbook is pretty specific. I only use it to watch Zero Punctuation videos, once a week, in bed...
