I’m going to offer up my solution to the SpringBoard overload problem. If you’re not familiar, with 60,000+ apps on the the App Store, many iPhone customers have downloaded over 100 apps. And, that means that SpringBoard (the Home Screen) has become full. Additional apps over the ~120 limit, fall off the screen. Now, in […]
I will now posit a logical stream of reasoning that explains how Google Chrome OS is, in reality, Android for Desktops. Google Chrome and Android share a common browser platform and screen drawing API. Google Chrome OS uses the same on-screen drawing system as Chrome and Android. Google Chrome OS is Linux combined with Chrome. […]
MechaWorks is going social… finally. The page is nowhere near done, but here’s a sneak preview. Details to follow. And yes, we’ll have events outside the world of WordPress. Update: Holy cow! Dozens of people signed up already, and no event details have leaked! We might beat MobileCamp in attendance…
It’s not because he’s photogenic. And, while tragic, it’s not because Billy Mays died so young. It’s because he’s the best representation of what we love about America. It’s what we feel is slipping away from America. We’re in a downturn, but it’s more than that… people left and right feel depressed about the loss […]
I’ll make this very brief… mostly because I’m tired and ticked at two usual suspects. Last week, I updated my PayPal profile, removing an old default address. Tonight, I bought something on eBay. Used PayPal to checkout. Also used an eBay coupon. To my chagrin, I noticed the transaction went through, with my old erroneous […]
I’m going to go out on a limb here, and just flat out say it: DEMO is overpriced. It’s no secret that MechaWorks will be announcing a new product later this year. And, in this economy, paying $18,500 for a staffed stage, and a kiosk in a conference… is just something we don’t think is […]
You might have seen a blog maintenance notice. If you don’t, great! That means you’re on our new server, powered by HostGator. We’ve signed up with HostGator because, while we’ve been growing, so have they. HostGator now delivers hosting that is both speedy and resilient… with a support team to match. We’ve been testing them […]
As I noted earlier in the morning on Twitter, we’re doing an in-town office move Monday. So, I’m up late preparing for a smooth transition tomorrow. Anyways, on to the post… Sunday’s are becoming more of a day of rest for me. As a recovering workaholic, I don’t really have that balance down quite yet. […]
I’ve written a how-to for getting the Volt for only $28,000. That’s less than the cost of Saturn’s VUE hybrid… which doesn’t happen to be electric. And, it’s only $6,000 more than the Toyota Prius 3G (seriously, they need to stop with the 3G references, it isn’t a cell phone). Now, I will point out […]
Sprint has crowned me the first Palm Pre owner on their Relay Data-only plan. Unfortunately, being on the bleeding edge of things isn’t so easy. Sprint didn’t relay (no pun) the activation protocol to the Relay team… so they’re trying to figure out how we’re going to get activated. Obviously, Sprint wants to keep Relay […]
