Memtest86+ was updated to version 2.01 today. The ultimate memory tester added several new features to its battery of memory tests… but one in particular stands out: Mac support. The application is one of the most recognized software diagnostic tools on the planet. Based on its less-updated competitor, Memtest86 (no plus), the application runs test […]
This is a review of a designer for WordPress, E.Webscapes Design Studio. They did the current PhoneNews.com look and feel which I hired them to do. E.Webscapes’s lead designer wrote the book on WordPress… literally. But, that’s not the main reason that we chose them over at PhoneNews.com, we quoted several designers on their past […]
One of my big gripes with Price Protectr (okay, fine, I don’t have any big gripes… it’s a small one), is that it didn’t let you go back in time and add a purchase that you made, say, four of five days ago. True, Price Protectr lets you chose a different date, but the options […]
My Windows Home Server got sick, and I lost all the PC backups. The backup database became corrupted, and while I tried all of Microsoft’s suggestions… only the last one worked. And, of course, the last one is to tell WHS to erase all PC backups in its matrix. Worse, I was replacing a hard […]
No joke, I did, years ago. Microsoft had an idea contest for ways to make better use of MSN Direct, and yeah, I sent in the “most compelling case” for MSN Direct on Windows Mobile, and Microsoft thanked me by giving me the win for the contest. The pitch was basically what Apple did with […]
Mozy for Mac has been updated to version 0.9.2.0. This update reflects their Release Candidate 2 milestone. Remember, Mozy gives everyone a free 2 GB of backup storage, and unlimited backup storage (per machine) is only $5 per month. Use the link below, and they’ll bump that up to 2.25 GB of free storage. And, […]
I’ve quietly been testing Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack 1 since it was in its very early days of development. The update that is determined to “save Vista” is finally out, but I’ve been using it long enough to give you an informed opinion on it. Many fear Service Pack releases. I don’t know why. […]
Best Buy has too many SimpleTech hard drives. So, they’re clearancing some of them. The 160 GB USB 2.0 hard drive in Red is going for about $50 after using a 10% off coupon. These make great little Time Machine backup drives… nobody has yet to crack one of them open to find out if […]
Yeah, I’ve been tinkering around with jailbreaking more than most. Why don’t I talk about it? Well, it’s not mainstream… it’s not simple anymore, and it’s a big time-waster for most people. One thing I noticed with 1.1.3 was the need to store stuff off the small 300 MB partition. Apple is already pushing up […]
Now that the SDK is imminent, I’m going to be crafting some bounties for some apps that I want to see authored. Why now? Because I want these apps to be mainstream, so that exponentially more people will actually use them. I want you to suggest some apps that you’d like to see sponsored. Post […]
