Happy 4th!!!

Hey everybody!

Just getting ready to hang ‘em up for a long holiday weekend and wanted to drop in really quickly and wish everyone a happy 4th of July!  Man, what a summer it’s been.  We’ve already had a week of 100 degree weather and it was only June.  Our Royals have already been demolished by the weakest division in baseball and Nate shaved off his mustache.  This is turning out to be one crazy summer!

Anyway, I’m going to buy a ton of fireworks Friday afternoon and basically blow up my back yard Sat afternoon.  A few friends are coming over and we’re going to grill out — you know, the standard 4th of July setup.  Looking forward to it.

Well, I’m just now updating my iPod for the party, need to hide my Macbook from the moon travelers w/report and charge the iPhone for inevitable flaky party-goers.

In honor of a very safe and fun holiday, I extend to you the QPON ‘SATURN MISSLE‘ for 6 bucks off of your repair.    As always, this does not apply to any diagnostic services, only repairs.   Simply email me your iResQ confirmation number to mick@iresq.com and I’ll apply the discount.

Farewell for now… I will leave you with this wonderful image:

Have a Heart Part II: Electric Boogaloo.

Published by ekautzi on June 30, 2009 in Author Posts. 0 Comments

Some of you may know I’m a bit of a softy when it comes to animal adoption. I’ve offered some deals in the past for those of you whom are bold enough to take me up on rescuing a dog or cat from your local shelter. Well, sad to say our border collie Maddie, who we adopted a few years ago, passed away last week. It was rough, to be sure, seeing as she was the greatest dog the world has ever known. Wait, that’s not quite right. The Greatest Dog the World Has Ever Known. That’s better. Anyway, in honor of Maddie, I’m throwing a bone your way (pun intended) if you’re thinking about adoption and you happen to have a broken MacBook, MacBook Air or MacBook Pro.

All you have to do is adopt a dog from your nearest shelter and email proof of adoption to eric@iresq.com with your six-digit invoice number by August 31. I’ll take $40 off your MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air LCD repair. It’s as simple as that. You get a deal, and a dog, and a furry friend gets a home. Everybody wins. I’m totally getting one. Ready? Sit. Stay. Ok, GO!

“Bad” News For Us M.J. Fans

Published by bmoeller on June 25, 2009 in Author Posts. 0 Comments

Well it’s true our beloved Michael Jackson has passed away at age 50. All I can say is although times got tough, and yes, a little weird, I have always been and will always be a fan. Thanks for the tunes ya crazy ol’ pop star. Anywho, to turn things away from the somber side; how about those new iPhones? I have yet to purchase one but am pretty anxious to as soon as I can gather up some extra cash. In the meantime you know your friends here at iResQ are ready and willing to repair your damaged 3Gs as soon as you need us. We are already up to our knees in new parts and are just waiting for our first patient. Well folks, I think that’s about all the words I can muster up the strength to type. I need to mourn the loss of my favorite pop star. Hope you all have great weekends and do yourself a favor-listen to some classic Michael Jackson. Trust me, it will be worth it. Rock.

Jobs is Returned.

Published by ekautzi on June 23, 2009 in Author Posts. 0 Comments

First, let’s all give Mr. Steve Jobs a hearty welcome back. After receiving a liver transplant in April (and allegedly beating pancreatic cancer prior to that) the tech world’s favorite CEO returned to Apple on Monday. Apparently he’s easing in to part-time at this point, but it’s a good sign nonetheless. Speedy recovery, Steve. I think there’s an App for that.

Well, Snow Leopard is rolling and the 13″ Unibody MacBook Pro has a Firewire port again. Joy! And talk about price drop. You can get your hands on a MacBook Pro for $1199. That’s less than I paid for my 500MHz iBook G3 when I went to college. And it’s a heckuva lot more machine for the money. And speaking of more machine for the money, the iPhone 3G just keeps getting better. Video, increased storage capacity, more user-friendly GPS. Yee haw.

So did you all listen to Apple’s ads and go buy your dads a new iPod, iPhone or MacBook? No? Some consumers you are. Hope you all had a good Father’s Day anyway. It was my first, of sorts, but seeing as my kid is the size of a peach, I didn’t get a new iPod either.

Keep reading friends- we’ll have new deals that will blow your mind coming soon. Until next week…

OMG!! NEW IPHONE?!?!?! LOLZZ!!!!!

Published by navenmarg on June 9, 2009 in Author Posts. 0 Comments

DISCLAIMER: I DO have a love affair with Apple products. The following blog may appear to be slightly harsh, but it’s only because I truly <3 these products and take my iPhone’n very seriously ;-)

Okay. As many of you are already aware, Apple officially announced yesterday the released of the newest addition to the iPhone family: The iPhone 3G S. The past few months I have been very heavily anticipating a new/better designed phone to replace the current 3G model. I will just say that my initial reaction was not so good…

I remember sleeping overnight at an AT&T store about a year ago to get my hands on a brand new 3G. As the first person in line, I was one of the very first people in the Nation to get a chance to operate an iPhone on AT&T’s 3G network. The faster processor and the ability to work off of a faster network did wonders for Apple’s new phone, but I still felt like there wasn’t enough of a change to warrant all of the buzz.

As I began to use the phone everyday I noticed several things that I really didn’t like about the current design and performance. I don’t really want to say that they were things I “hated.” Why don’t we just say, “strongly disliked?” Sounds good.

In my personal opinion, the 3G was more of the same. There was a great advancement in the speed of the device, but I still feel like Apple didn’t address some of the following key shortcomings:

-Terrible Battery Life (I found myself charging far too often.)

-Quiet Speaker System (What happened to being able to annoy an entire room with the Ninja Turtle’s theme song? Not to mention barely being able to use with Speaker Phone!)

-New Design? (Essentially the same look, but features an annoying rounded back.)

-Plastic Back (New to the 3G. However, very easily damaged and feels very “cheap.”)

This might seem a little nit-picky, but I really do feel that Apple missed the boat on this major re-design. As the months went by, I was incredibly hopeful that Apple was working on these “issues” and hopefully we would see a release of a newly designed phone that would knock our socks off! As of today, I am little frustrated…

The new 3G S boasts a faster processor, 3-Megapixel camera, video editing on the go, voice control and voice dialing, and a compass. Now, I would never say that these features aren’t cool, but does it really warrant the $200 upgrade and signing away your life to AT&T for another two years?

I guess what discourages me the most is that the biggest improvement for the iPhone is going to be the 3.0 Software Upgrade. You don’t even have to have a new iPhone to take advantage of this! So, essentially the only difference to having the new 3G S is faster processing speed and the ability to edit video on the go? Sure taking video is pretty cool, but not when you are in fear of running down your battery life because the phone only seems to last a few hours in between charges.

Sorry to be cynical, but it just doesn’t seem that this new iPhone has very much going for it. I would have loved to see some sort of aesthetic change. After all, this is Apple…isn’t it??

Alright everyone, my rant is over. Check out the blogs and consult the internets. Let me know what you think! Did you think I was too cynical?? Feel free to email me at nate@iresq.com and give me your opinion. Hit the blogs! Let Apple know what you think. They are listening.

iPhones iPhones iPhones! And Snow Leopard. Huzzah! Yes, folks, it’s that time again. The World Wide Developer’s Conference (WWDC) is here, and it’s bound to be the most exciting gathering of Mac addicts since last year’s iPhone 3G announcement. I’ll keep it brief since the rumors are soon going to be confirmed or negated and the blog world fully assaulted by the all the news and consumer interpretation.

iPhone 3.0. Faster 3G network, video capabilities, increased storage capacity for less money. And perhaps a more durable construction? These are all big improvements that should boost iPhone sales back to what Apple has grown accustomed to.

Snow Leopard. Not a whole lot of news in the OS arena over the last few weeks. You can expect improved features more on the plane of updates within 10.5, such as security updates, rather than any major design overhaul. Still, new is new.

Portables. Like the iPhone, MacBooks and MacBook Pros may soon see a more affordable pricing structure, which is good news for everybody. There have been whispers of the Aluminum Unibody MacBooks getting a Pro slapped on the name, but no one seems to think there will be a major processor change to match. But we’ll see. Just a few short hours, friends. Be sure to follow MacRumors or AppleInsider and keep that refresh button on a loop. And check my last post for this month’s $10 coupon, good for MacBook and MacBook Pro LCD repairs. Later, peeps.

With my apologies to any manbaby readers.

Honestly, Mick. Be more sensitive to the full-grown man youths out there. Also, that’s just creepy. For more creepy, check out  manbabies.com. It might just be the best thing on the internet.

Moving on, thanks to all you who were eager to relive the days of technologies past and discuss the video games that made your childhood memorable. Lot of Pong players out there. Asteroids, too. And I’m glad. My superhuman thumb strength wouldn’t be what it is today if it wasn’t for those rainbow-colored blobs flying through space just waiting to be destroyed by the triangle that shoots little white dots. Fantastic.

But let’s get back to important things: MacBook and MacBook Pro LCD repair! The reason we’re here, dear friends, is to reach out a hand when your Apple computer is in need! It’s as simple as this- if your MacBook or MacBook Pro has a broken screen, send it yonder and we’ll repair it and ship it back to you within one business day and for hundreds less than what you’d pay at Apple. It’s the same dependable service we’ve been providing for years, now more than ever. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE. Act now and get an extra $10 off your MacBook or MacBook Pro LCD repair for a limited time. Have your credit card ready and call now- this offer won’t last. Operators are standing by.

Tired of the corporate sales jargon? Me too. And I’m a little nauseous. But seriously, email the coupon “manbabies” to eric@iresq.com with your six-digit web confirmation number and I’ll take $10 off your LCD repair. How about that. Do it.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water…

Rumors, rumors, rumors! No, I’m not just excited about Fleetwood Mac. I’m talking about iPhone and iPod rumors. Summer means new products and and upgrades from everyone’s favorite portable device frontrunner. This is what we can be relatively confident about: the iPods Touch and Nano will be redesigned and feature a camera. The iPhone 3G will have a camera on the front. And there will be some significant software changes. This is what we can guess at: Apple is developing a version of the iPhone for the Verizon network. Apple will introduce a less expensive voice and data plan with AT&T. And Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus will mark Lorenzo Lamas’ glorious return to superstardom. Just wait and see.

So keep your lookin’ balls fixed on Mac Rumors or Apple Insider for all the cool news coming up over the next few weeks, and get excited cause summer is here.

iPhone Blog

Published by navenmarg on May 15, 2009 in Author Posts. 0 Comments

It has recently come to my attention that my Blogs rarely have anything to do with Apple Products or Repair. I have taken the false allegations to heart and will now provide you with a blog that stays on track and may appeal to more than 10 people. I digress…As a proud iPhone owner and operator, I love the application function. The cheesy commercials are correct - there really is an App for everything. There are a few Apps that I religiously use and I would not be able to function on a daily basis without them. Disclaimer: I am somewhat of a cheap man…so the following Apps are all FREE and available through iTunes.My favorite App (one of the best in my opinion) is the Weather Channel Weather App. I honestly feel that this is the best weather application available for use with the iPhone. What I love about it: Simple to use, simple layout, automatically finds your current location, and it is actually accurate. I am somewhat of an impulsive weather-checker, and this App is perfect for me.photo.jpgAnother App I use quite often is the Google Search App. It is a pretty simple search application. What I love about it: It is easy to use, simple layout that isn’t overwhelming, and it operates pretty quickly. It also has a pretty cool feature that allows you to say what you want to search. The speech recognition is fairly accurate as well. This is just a great easy-to-use application.photo2.jpgI am a huge Craig’s List fan and it is just not good enough to be able to check Craig’s only on my computer at home. I must be able to Craigslist on the Go! CraigSearch is by far the best Craig’s List application/search tool that you can use with the iPhone. What I like about it: Once again it is incredibly easy to use, doesn’t bog down on the 3G network, and the layout is really simple. I honestly use this application all the time when I am cruising Craig’s for sweet deals.photo3.jpgWell, that just about does it. Those are my most used Apps available only for the iPhone. I hope I have made some suggestions on some quality Applications! Please remember that if you have any trouble with your Apple Products, iResQ and the Man of the Hour will be available all summer offering quality repairs! We all know it is impossible to live without our iPhones!-the Man of the Hour
