Solution to All Of Irelands Economic Problems
October 19, 2009 by Robert Hawkes
Our Leader
Email I Received this Morning… Simple but could this sort everything out.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Sometimes the easiest solution is the best!!
The solution to the economic crisis!
Dear Mr. Cowen
Please find below my suggestion for fixing Irelands economy.
Instead of giving Seven Billion Euro’s to the Irish Banks who will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan.
You can call it the Republican Retirement Plan:
There are about 1 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them 7 million Euro apiece severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:
1) They MUST retire. One million job openings – Unemployment fixed
2) They MUST buy a new car. One million cars ordered – Auto Industry fixed
3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage – Housing
Crisis fixed
4) They MUST send their kids to school/college/university – Crime rate fixed
5) They MUST buy 100 Euro of alcohol/tobacco a week …. and there’s your money back in duty/tax etc
It can’t get any easier than that!
P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of government pay back - Their falsely claimed expenses and allowances

iPhone 3GS Battery Issues
July 14, 2009 by Robert Hawkes
It seems that after two weeks now with the iPhone 3GS i am having issues with battery life (screenshot above).Apple promised us that there would be an improvement with the 3GS and battery life. Well im here to tell you the 3GS i am using is no improvement on the iPhone 3G. I have checked online and i am not the only one having issues. From what i am reading there are iPhone users in the US that are actually getting new handsets directly from Apple when they bring them back to the Apple Stores. The store have some software on their Macs that can run some sort of special diagnostic tool that can tell if there is an issue either with the handset itself or the battery .
I have decided after researching it enough and talking to other 3GS users on Twitter that to do a complete restore and set up the device as new to see if this makes any improvement. I will then continue to take screen shots of the usage page in the event i do need to ring Apple to complain. I am not going to wait longer than the 26th of July as that is 30 days since i bought it so i would be eligible for a swap out. So even if it turns out to be a software issue with 3.0 i don’t want to run the risk of Apple making it difficult if i need to look for a new phone.As u know i am a big of an Apple fan boy so i am not in the habit of writing these posts so i am hoping that the restore will help. I hate ringing help lines when i know more about the product and the issue than the other person at the end of the line. Happened when i was having issues with my Wife’s iPhone and i annoyed myself & the poor Apple employee at the other end.
Well fingers crossed the restore will do the Job and i wont need to make that awkward call.

iPhone 3G SOLD with the HELP of Twitter
July 12, 2009 by Robert Hawkes
As you probally know I recently upgraded to the iPhone 3GS. And I was in two minds if I was going to sell my iPhone 3G or not. I played around with the idea spoke to a few people even got decent offers. But something was stopping me. My “sickness” my inability to let go of any thing Apple.
I sold my black MacBook last year to help purchase the Alu MacBook so I found that easy enough to part with but this time round I didn’t really need to sell the iPhone 3G to buy the iPhone 3GS. What made matter worse a good contact on Twitter helped me Jailbreak the 3G and I was having some really good fun with it messing with the Free Apps such as the GPS Sat Nav which was very cool & may I say it again FREE. To cut a long story short I started to realise that I was been very childish hanging onto the 3G when was really never going to use it and It was time to put the it up for Sale for real this time round.
After a previous sale feel through I was going to be serious about selling this time. So in comes Twiiter I have about 500 or so Irish Followers so I felt if anyone could help they would and boy did they. In a matter of hours of putting the Tweet out and a few Re-Tweets from my Followers I found a really decent guy up the country to Buy the iPhone. PayPal money transfered and phone been dropped to the couriers tomorrow and will be at it’s new home by Tuesday. Moral of the Story …. If you use Twitter right it will help you do pretty much anything
reBlog from Pat Phelan:Telecomms Disruptor Mifi Death To 3G Dongles
July 12, 2009 by Robert HawkesI found this fascinating quote today:
MiFi
The cool guys from NovaTel Wireless had promised me one of these for a few months for testing and after much nudging and prodding it arrived on Friday. Andy has been writing about it for a few weeks now but I think its the first one on these shores. So what is MiFi? A mobile broadband dongle? yes A hotspot in a box? yes The end of broadband dongles? 100%Pat Phelan, Pat Phelan: Telecomms Disruptor, Jul 2009
