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...
NDA. Non-disclosure. Hush documents.
Not many people like them. In the technology world they are a necessary evil. Personally I don’t think that way. I think NDA’s are generally a good thing. It’s enabling legalese to let two parties participate in information exchange when they don’t want the rest of the world to know about them. NDA is a general term, of course, and the wording in any non-disclosure agreement is subject to the two parties involved. Heck it could say “We’re going to show you everything and you agree only to not talk about feature X…everything else is fair game.” ...
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'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, after my initial quest to complete this task in part 1, i'm happy to report success!
this is a little patting of my own back ... i'm shocked that i actually did it on my own, without cursing, without getting mad at my family, and in the first attempt! i didn't take pictures of the process as i was on a pace that i didn't want to disturb. needless to say when my wife came to check on me while doing this project, she was in awe to see my entire back seat sitting in the garage and carpet everywhere. ...
well, it looks like my efforts with facePhone were short lived. i started out creating a better mobile UI for facebook on the iphone. i was challenged, however as the API didn't provide essentially everything i needed/wanted, so i got a limited functionality, but for me, was fine (getting status updates):
well, the guys at facebook (presumably joe hewitt -- i actually contacted him about my efforts and never heard back...maybe this is why :-)).
i haven't tried on edge, but they are loading a lot of content there. looks good though.

what?! you don't know what facebook is? haven't you heard all the cool kids are doing it so you should totally jump on it with complete disregard to whether or not there is any benefit to you at all. then just accept every single friend request and you can have yet another disparate network of your own! (i'm actually experimenting with adding random friends to see if people accept them the way myspace grew -- friends in myspace seem to almost be a chest-pounding reputation/currency thing.) seriously, though if you haven't heard about it, it is worth a read. ...
lately i've been watching this show -- i don't even know what channel it is on, my tivo decided i might like it and started recording it...i love you tivo -- with the host david pogue. it's basically a consumer-friendly geek gadget show. he talks about different issues like do megapixels really matter in cameras (does a great field test on that one), what laptops are the best to travel with, etc. his shows are well thought out and balanced in my opinion -- and he does good research. the three shows i watched i never felt myself saying 'yeah,...
well, apparently there is a new browser in town for windows ;-). if you haven't heard (then shame on you if this is your only source of information!), apple released a beta of safari for the windows platform. my initial reaction was..."hmmm" like any card-carrying geek member, i downloaded and installed. yep, looks like safari. so what. on my mac i don't even use safari. i'm not a fan of it. people don't extend it very often. (extend means different things to different people, what does it mean in the context of your situation tim? -- good point, i'm talking...
