There’s one feature that Apple, I’ve learned, really regrets scrapping from Leopard. Originally, Time Machine had a lot of additional features which didn’t make the final cut. One of the features was to use the free disk space on the boot drive as shadow copy storage. This mimicked a feature from Vista that does the […]
Come June, iPhone users will be able to use exchange. Great. With a Mail2Web free account, you’ll be able to sync your world of devices on Exchange. Your calendar, address book, and device info can all freely flow to your Windows Mobile phone, all your PCs, your iPhone, even your iPod touch. But what about […]
Okay, so you know my position on AirPort Disk & Time Machine by now… rather than simply saying the configuration is unsupported (after announcing, touting, hindering, neutering, and ultimately enabling a buggy fix… you get the idea, I could link to prior posts for each, but searching works too). Anyways, I realized it’s really a […]
Apple today confirmed what I revealed initially… Time Machine and AirPort Disk may say they play together now… but unfortunately, there are still show-stopping bugs. They weren’t as clear as I was, in fact, they didn’t mention that these were data-loss level issues… simply that the feature is still unsupported. I just wish for one […]
I know I said I wasn’t going to spill any beans on iPhone 2.0 software, but this one is just too juicy. Apple, next time, get the media to NDA on things you know will leak out… media relations needs to wake up and smell the coffee on this one (you know who you are). […]
I really don’t like the backend changes in WordPress 2.5. Really, really, really don’t like them. Most of the staff on PhoneNews.com doesn’t either… I’ve been getting an earful about it. The WordPress team says that they hired an external research team, to determine how people use the backend. Problem is, they weighted experienced and […]
I’m not in a mood to tick anyone off today, so I won’t say exactly what’s in iPhone 2.0 beta. What was announced is there… mostly, and not much else. I will say that the firmware is loaded with debugging code, and is not at the same performance level as 1.1.4. So, should you still […]
I know, I said I wasn’t going to do any updates while at CTIA. It’s Vegas, and I should be doing other things… but, I noted that WordPress 2.5 had a few things that would improve coverage. So, using my blog as a test, its now running WordPress 2.5. Up next? The PhoneNews.com Blog, and […]
As many of you may know, I’ve been partial to Orb for years. My main reason is that a Slingbox should be wasteful in the era of Windows Media Center… there’s no reason for it when you can have a computer with a cheap TV tuner card handle the payload. Emphasis on should, however. The reason […]
If you were thinking of getting some nice code samples (say, Touch Fighter) in this month’s Apple Developer Connection mailings… sorry. The April disc has nothing, nada, zilch on iPhone.
