T-Mobile Sidekick Owners May Not Get Their Data Back

GeekSugar — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 10:50:53 -0700

Over the weekend, T-Mobile experienced a server failure from its data server provider Danger, which is a subsidiary of Microsoft (umm, I'm already suspicious of a company that has a server named Danger!). Servers go down all the time, but T-Mobile has announced that it is unable to recover personal data stored on Sidekicks.

T-Mobile is urging Sidekick customers to keep their devices turned on, keep it connected to a power source, and to not reset it or remove the battery. Unlike BlackBerry owners that can backup their data using RIM's desktop manager or with iTunes for the iPhone, Microsoft didn't have a backup program or export tool for the Sidekick, which means many Sidekick owners are furious with T-Mobile right now.

Did you lose your Sidekick data from this major outage catastrophe?

Paris Still Loves a Simple Pink Laptop Sleeve

GeekSugar — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 09:02:45 -0700

Just after her red carpet appearance at the MTV Movie Awards, Paris Hilton was spotted making her way through LAX security on Sunday night with a familiar accessory in tow. I wonder if this is the same Macbook Air that she bought with ex-beau Benji Madden last year, or if she rotates her laptops as much as her cell phones?

Either way I know from experience that Paris is a huge fan of pink, and the color is perfect for Spring and Summer whether it's pink pieces in her wardrobe, or just covering her gadgets. Check out some more perfectly pink laptop cases below, and bring a bit of pink into your life this season!

Paris Hilton Gets a New Cell Phone Every Two Weeks

GeekSugar — Fri, 08 May 2009 11:14:35 -0700

During a pretrial hearing for failing to promote the movie Pledge This!, US Magazine goes into how Paris Hilton (who we already know is no stranger to technology), pulled out all of the tech excuses, which included saying she used Google as a way to keep track of business meetings.

Paris also went on to blame missed calls from producers on her lost cell phones. She says:

With my phone I never know, because I lose it all the time. I probably get a new cellphone, like, every two weeks.

And when the lawyers showed her a copy of her cell phone bill, she admitted that she's "never seen a phone bill in her life."

I can honestly say, that she's probably telling the truth, I mean, this would explain the constant device changes and endless supply of cell phones!

Are You Text-Obsessed?

GeekSugar — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 06:29:37 -0800

We all know how I feel about texting during dinner, a movie, or a heartfelt convo, but how acceptable is texting during a (very) public event?

Although this pic of Paris and Nicky Hilton at Fashion Week makes me want to sit them down and give them a lecture in appropriate text behavior, I'm trying to be understanding. Like I've said before, I get the addiction, I just don't get the text dependence. Seriously, if I had a front row seat to check out Pamella Roland's beautiful collection, there wouldn't be a single thing that could tear my eyes from the runway. Except for maybe Nigel Barker there on the left . . .

Texting While Driving Gets Banned in California

GeekSugar — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 02:00:33 -0700

This past July, a new law came into effect that now requires millions of Californians to use hands-free technology like headsets and bluetooth-enabled devices while driving. Well on Wednesday, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger began signing bills into law, one that includes banning text messaging while driving. According to SFGate, the bill SB28 will ban texting while driving and forces drivers to keep their "hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road," said Schwarzenegger in a written statement. Other states that have already adopted this law include Louisiana, Minnesota, New Jersey, Connecticut and Washington.

Doesn't the saying go, "Lovers that geek out together, stay together?" If that's the case, Paris and her beau Benji Madden are well on their way to matrimonial geeky bliss. Maybe I could recommend a delectable chocolate laptop wedding cake for the big day? Yesterday the popular duo was out in full force, making some quick purchases at an Apple store in West Hollywood. Benji picked up a powerful new MacBook Pro, while Paris went the sleek and sexy route with the MacBook Air. Hey Paris - from one geek to another, you may want to pick up a new pink Sumo laptop sleeve to protect your latest laptop!

Paris Can't Keep Her Hands Off the Gadgets

GeekSugar — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 14:02:49 -0800

The queen of cell phones, Miss Paris Hilton, sure does know her way around a BlackBerry keypad, but who knew she was so intrigued in other gadgetry goods? While at the Sundance Film Festival, Paris chatted with Virgin America's director of in-flight entertainment and partnerships, Charles Ogilvie, about the new in-flight, seat-to-seat instant messaging keyboard. She told Ogilvie that she can't wait to try out the new high-tech entertainment system on an upcoming trip to New York and on the airline’s debut of in-flight WiFi, which will happen sometime this year.Paris was also spotted at a Philadelphia mall a week later promoting her new movie Hottie and the Nottie and showing off her photo skills with a Flip digital camcorder. . . . Now I wonder if she uploads herself, too?!

Cell Phone Carrying Method: Hand or Purse?

GeekSugar — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 13:00:47 -0700

Isn't it always the case that as soon as you put your cell phone in that hot little Gucci clutch purse, you end up missing three calls and eight text messages?! Unless I have my BlackBerry on some serious vibrate action, there's a slim to nil chance I will ever know if someone is trying to get a hold of me- that is, if my phone is in my handbag. Therefore, yes, I usually carry my cell in my hand like Paris and LC. What about you? Have you mastered the art of the cell phone in the purse? Leave your comments below! Image Source
