Well, it seems that in addition to problems with MobileMe, Apple is getting into some gray area with AppStore. Applications are appearing, disappearing without explanation to the authors. The one that got more attention was NetShare, an app that purports to enable tethering of your iPhone 3G. However despite it being available (actually for me clicking on the link it wasn’t even available then) it seems to be performing one of Criss Angel’s greatest feats in appearing/disappearing at will (or at Steve Jobs’ request).
The latest app to fall to this scenario and be removed from the AppStore without explanation is...
Gary Krakow has gone insane. I was going to say he’s an idiot, but I’ll leave that up to Cali. In his latest article on TheStreet.com, he writes (regarding the iPhone and battery life): In our tests, iPhone batteries really can't handle the extra drain of Microsoft Exchange mail. Blame it mostly on Microsoft. Microsoft's mobile email software is a pig. It always has been a battery hog. Everyone who has ever lived with a Microsoft Mobile phone knows that battery life stinks if you constantly "push" email to your device....
I’m a little pissed right now. Today I had a long drive downtown and on the way home I was planning on charging my iPhone (since battery life sucks bad) as well as listen to some of the tunes. I upgraded my car system last year to support iPod connectors and put a dock in my car attached to my OEM stereo. It was a project I was pretty proud I was able to do myself :-). You can read and see about it here and here. At the time I did this I was asked why I didn’t use...
Well now that the iPhone 3G (and actually more specifically the 2.0 software) are out, I promised myself I’d take another look, especially given that the claims of “for the Enterprise” were there (which really meant ‘we added ActiveSync’). I had been holding on to some gift cards to subsidize this gadget investigation and so alas, I am testing the iPhone 3G for my use.
Now because the device itself isn’t really much different (physically the changes are subtle) I’m not really commenting on the “iPhone” itself but rather on the claims of what 2.0 software brought to the device. The...
I had been a customer of T-Mobile for 10 years (through a few company changes) and only recently changed to AT&T about a year ago. As a general assertion, I’ve been happy. I like the 3G speeds and the coverage in my house is far better than T-Mobile, which was the ultimate driver as someone who works primarily from a home office.
That being said, I think I’m agreeing with what a friend said when the first iPhone launched. He said (paraphrasing of course) If the iPhone has any shortcomings it won’t be because of the device or Apple, it will...
I suspect Apple will have a good day on 11 July. I’m pretty sue Apple could release the iGumWrapper and people will camp out 2 days before to be the first to purchase a gum wrapper made out of napkin and far less superior in functionality than what exists today. It’s the lure of Apple, the marketing engine behind them and the fact that despite that napkin material, it would likely be so beautiful and make you forget some things that you’ve depended on for so long.
But I digress :-). In all seriousness, Apple excels at the hype and the...
i was peripherally listening to the macworld keynote today waiting for something that would interest me. i read all the rumors about a sub-compact laptop and was hoping for the best. i am not a lover of widescreen laptops. i love my 14" lenovo and all other standard sizes before that. i've always felt that when you get into the widescreens, it no longer becomes a notebook, but a portable...i want the lightweight but powerful notebook. to that end i use a lenovo thinkpad and a macbook pro (15"). i like them both...a lot. for my daily typing i find...
it could be that december sucked and i was bored, or it could have been the pain killers, but i have found that the recent freecreditreport[dot]com television advertisements have been hilarious.
caveat: i am not promoting the service and i actually don't necessarily agree with it (as i think there is too much fine print involved and it isn't really 'free' but that is beside the point, this is about the commercials.
their latest one had me cracking up as the guy singing the jingle in what appears to be somewhat of a red lobster type restaurant ("they say a man should...
i'm very frustrated now. the title says it all. let me explain my scenario, tell you how i found out the problem and give you the suggested workaround from apple.
the setup
i have a few phones laying around, and being the gadget geek i am, i do have an iphone that i've been using lately. my setup consists of syncing my iphone to my pc laptop for contacts/calendering and to my macbook for music/photos/movies/podcasts. it is a simple setup really, and allows me to keep my work machine for work (i don't have music or anything on my work machine) and...
well, it's been over 12 hours since leopard was available to the masses and the early reviews seem to be in.
yawn.
i just got my discs and will be updating my machines soon to see (i'm going to try to update one and clean install the other). but i'm reading the reviews and they aren't promising.
dave winer says the upgrade process went fine, but he seems left with wondering what did he upgrade too? he says:
Net-net, my first impression of Leopard is that it isn't a big deal one way or the other.
interesting. i thought this was supposed to be...
i recently wrote about my birthday binge purchases, one of which included an airport extreme. in addition to the airport, i acquired a matching (in size so it fit right under it) lacie mini hard drive. the reason for this (and the initial airport purchase) was i'm trying to consolidate some storage without having to have a running "machine" (OS) anywhere. the airport touted the ability to plugin an external hard drive and share it with everyone.
well, i'm happy to report that my other birthday purchases are doing me proud. the airport and lacie, on the other hand, are quite...
someone asked if silverlight would work in an osx dashboard widget...interesting thought i felt. after all, the dashboard widget concept is similar to the sidebar gadget feature in vista in that it is essentially a packaged file with html, javascript, images, etc. so i went to task and tried it out. i first started with a media player that i had been working on and it didn't go so well...more on that at a later time (startup javascripts, etc.). after that i just dumbed it down to a simple sample that had some animation and stuff. packaged it up, deploy...
