One of the things that I was concerned about with the Volt, was the uncertainty about being able to use Electric Vehicle Charging Stations. Thanks to mis-appropriated government spending in the state of California… we have tons of these. And, virtually all of them go unused. About the only cars that can use them are […]
If you’ve been using Google Gears for Mac, you might have noticed sometimes that the Gears setup for a particular web site… sometimes vanishes. You have to re-enable Gears for each web site which you had approved it for. Why is this? Well, Google is deploying the Gears setup inside of /Users/yourname/Library/Cache (or, ~/Library/Cache as […]
As you may know, over the past few years, Macworld Expo priority codes have leaked out, netting people up to a free Platinum Pass. Considering the importance of the Platinum Pass this year, I decided to post this article, which I will update whenever I see (or am told about) a new priority code. So, […]
Update: IDG has updated their web site. They claim that the wording on the Macworld Expo web site was in error (and they have changed it). They claim that they meant to say, that there would be an overflow room available… in case you didn’t get in to the main hall. They also stated that […]
As usual, I like to point out the events I’m attending. If you’re going to be at/around/near CTIA Wireless IT 2008. And, as noted on the PhoneNews.com Blog, I’ve burnt some midnight oil updating all the WordPress deployments to 2.6.2. So, if you’re at the show, interested in a quick chat, or even lunch at […]
Good news: I’ve (well, we’ve, but the buck does stop with me) decided to make a Media Center web site. I’m getting linked so much, when it comes to Media Center, it’s time to make a site for the enthusiasts. No, not the folks that need to know their ATSC from their QAM. This will […]
Apple today confirmed to me, that despite past indications, they will never fix Time Machine over AirPort Disk, when using an AirPort Extreme. This is a stark contrast to Steve Jobs’ own comments when Mac OS X Leopard was unveiled. “AirPort Extreme is the perfect backup solution for Leopard.” His words. Now that Time Capsule […]
If you’re interested in portable nettop/netbook computers, you may be wondering which is better between the Eee PC 901, Eee PC 1000H, and the Acer Aspire One. I’ve used the Eee PC 901 extensively, and this week, I bought an an Acer Aspire One. Using a crafty coupon at Best Buy, I walked out the […]
A friend asked me what I thought of Windows Live Photosynth’s trendy error message when you pull it up on a Mac. It’s nothing new really, Windows Live has committed to supporting the Mac when it makes sense (even Live Mesh has promised Mac support). But, I did within a few seconds come up with a […]
I will working mostly through the end of the week. After that, I will return on September 7. We did have some announcements at MechaWorks, those are on-hold until mid-September. This is not a vacation for me, so don’t go getting all scoffed when I decide to actually take one. This next week-and-a-half will be […]
