Steve Jobs.

Steve Jobs was an icon, visionary, hero to many.

Pretty much anyone and everyone that is touched by tech understands what the loss of Steve Jobs is to the world today.

He was responsible for the first personal computer I used for hours on end in my bedroom from back when I was in 3rd grade.

I had the Apple II plus, IIe, IIgs, Mac TV, Mac. . . and iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch today.

Apple was the reason why I started programming in BASIC, C, COBAL, FORTRAN. . .ah, the memories.

The media is paying tribute with photo essays, interviews, blasts from the past, and more.

Here’s is one of Steve’s more memorable addresses from the stage. This time, it wasn’t at DevCon or other place where he was part of announcing revolutionary new products or technology.

It is just Steve, sharing his own life story and life plan with future leaders in the crowd.

How To Perform A Hard Master Reset on the Apple iPhone 4

Dec 28th

There are a couple of scenarios when you want to do a complete master reset for your Apple iPhone4.

But remember, if you proceed with this operation: This will erase all data, all preferences, all settings and put it back to factory default settings, as if you pulled it out of the box.

It is something you should do as a last resort, but quite effective if you need it!

One circumstance would be if you’re selling or giving your phone away to someone else. In any case, be certain you want to do this before you go ahead. The process will give you one last warning on the way too.

HOW TO DO A MASTER RESET ON THE APPLE IPHONE4:

  1. All you have to do is go to the SETTINGS menu app.
  2. SCROLL DOWN to the last item — and click on “RESET”
  3. You’ll get several options: Settings, All Content & Settings, Network settings, Keyboard Dictionary, etc.  CLICK ON “ERASE ALL CONTENT & SETTINGS”
  4. On the warning screen, click “ERASE iPHONE“
  5. Wait for the device to wipe all the data on the phone and come back to life!

Here’s a video walking you through the process in case this isn’t clear enough:

Calling All Apple iPhone 4 Owners: This Post Is Worth $29.99

Jul 23rd

Everyone wants an iPhone 4.

But everyone also likes to talk about the death grip antenna issue that comes with the iPhone 4.

I personally have not had much issue with dropped calls or reduced signal strength yet with my iPhone 4.  Perhaps the way I hold the phone is just right.  But Steve Jobs has countered all the criticism that has come upon Apple for the death grip antenna issue with the Apple iPhone 4.

Last week, Steve Jobs gave a press conference that addressed the issue head on and offered two solutions to every iPhone 4 owner out there.  (A) Either you can get a full refund or (B) you can get a free bumper case for the iPhone 4 that supposedly addresses the signal problems.   And here’s a bonus (C) if you’ve already bought one, Apple will give you a free refund — if you bought it from an Apple store, you can go in to get your refund.  If you bought the case from AT&T, there’s a rebate form on Apple.com for you.

Since Apple can’t make enough cases themselves, they have sourced 3rd party cases to give away (totally free too) to anyone that wants one.

Here’s the video clip from the press conference where Steve Jobs details the offer:

So there’s also the logistics of fulfilling the orders for millions of iPhone 4′s that have been sold to date.  How can this be done smoothly?  We have been waiting on Apple to share the process.  Finally, it’s here. . . Read the rest of this entry »

Deal Alert: Free Apple iPhone 3G 8GB (No Rebates Either)

Here’s a straight-forward deal alert:

If you’ve been saving up for an Apple iPhone on the AT&T network, you don’t have to break open your piggy bank any more.

BestBuy usually sells the Apple iPhone 3G with 8GB Memory in shiny Black for $99 with contract or upgrade for existing customers.

In fact, if you want to shell out your 100 bucks for the iPhone, you can see the regular offer on their website right now.  Just go to www.BestBuy.com and search for the “iPhone 3G”.

You won’t be able to buy it on the internet like you can from AT&T Wireless or Apple.com because Best Buy only sells the phone directly to you in their big box store locations.

But if you can get $100 off the price of an iPhone 3G, wouldn’t you be willing to drive to the store to pick it up?

This offer is extremely tempting. . . Read the rest of this entry »

Have you seen one yet? It’s so elusive, yet there are about a MILLION of them out there. And they’ll multiply quickly — up to 10 Million by the end of 2008! The Apple iPhone will surely be Time Magazine’s “Device of the Year” for 2007, which is responsible for more cell phone sales in a single day in the history of AT&T Wireless. Reports state that more than 3/4 million iPhones were sold on June 29th.

While you may know someone who knows someone that has one and you probably aren’t reading this on your new iPhone (unless you’re really are — in which, you should email a photo of yourself reading essistme.com on your iPhone to info[at)essistme.com and we’ll post it here!).

If you’re like one of millions that have been struck with iPhone envy, but still have another brand cell phone or smartphone in your hand, here’s one iPhone fix to simulate the iPhone experience on your phone.  In fact, with this simple short-term cure for iPhone envy people will ask if you have an iPhone in your pocket when you get your next call!
