Palm Apps List
Here’s a great list of applications for Palm users, Treo or no Treo. In my quest to prove just how wonderful and powerful the Treo 600 is, here is a list of the software that I’ve added to it (not the utilities that came with it). The latest additions have an asterisk next to the … Read morePalm Apps List
Cox Pushing HD DVR Testing
Just caught this on Gizmodo… NYC will have to wait for TWC to get their testing done, though I don’t know anyone lucky enough to be on the list or if these are even in consumer’s homes for testing. When I last checked it was going to be sometime in the Fall. Already testing in … Read moreCox Pushing HD DVR Testing
Quick Notes from the WWDC Keynote
Automator Rocks! Just watched the WWDC Keynote and was thinking about how amazing the tech is within Automator… I can’t wait to get my hands on it and begin simplifying the computing for me and my family… No more how do you do this? No more doing things again and again. Inter-op between apps for … Read moreQuick Notes from the WWDC Keynote

eMarketer Launches RSS Feed
Thanks for the pointer, Steve! I’ve been bummed about Apple Mail deciding I can’t handle the HTML on this one for a long time and have not read it as much as I would have liked. I just learned that eMarketer now has an RSS feed. You can get the feed here (RSS). [Micro Persuasion]
EyeTV 500 brings HDTV solution to Mac OS X
Most excellent! The only thing missing here is the ability to capture from Cable or Satellite – Terrestrial signals only, which I can’t (and would not want to) do here in Apartment land. Elgato today announced the release of EyeTV 500, the first high-definition television (HDTV) solution for Mac OS X. Designed especially for the … Read moreEyeTV 500 brings HDTV solution to Mac OS X
Apple’s Spotlight…
Obviously going through the info on Tiger… Spotlight looks absolutely amazing! Now I officially get the Longhorn jokes from this morning… the use of the sidebar is pretty heavy through some of the new apps for quickly calling attention and sorting details.
Tiger Server includes a weblog CMS
It’s the details that amaze me… You can certainly use many other systems by installing them yourself, but this gives you out of the box functionality which is totally cool. Apple also announced Tiger Server, which includes David Czarnecki’s Blojsom weblog CMS bundled, an XML-RPC interface, as well as publishing content in RSS. [Scripting News]
Apple RSS Demo!
Here’s a video from Apple showing off RSS in Safari 2.0. It looks very sophisticated yet simple. There are some nice features, like the scrolling bar to adjust the length of each piece and a quick way to jump through the dates of your saved items. Search is also looks to be quite strong. The … Read moreApple RSS Demo!
VeriSign service takes on spam
No pricing info yet… it will certainly be interesting to track how this works. Given the knowledge they have from behind the scenes, one would think Verisign has what it takes to identify who is and is not likely to be a spammer… For blocking malicious mail, the service deploys three antivirus engines. For policy … Read moreVeriSign service takes on spam
Safari, RSS, NetNewsWire
In addition to the Gorgeous Aluminum displays announced at WWDC, Apple is also showing off the new Safari 2.0 which includes a built-in RSS Reader… What I like about this announcement is that it popularizes syndication. Despite its fast growth, there’s still a huge education job to do. The average Mac user doesn’t know about … Read moreSafari, RSS, NetNewsWire
WiFi and GPRS
It’s become increasing more clear to me that the next handheld device I own have both WiFi and GPRS (or equivalent) via bluetooth capabilities. I’d also really like to have a keyboard for true messaging ability. Since it’s summer I’ve been taking advantage of my cargo shorts attire and carrying both my Palm Tungsten T3 … Read moreWiFi and GPRS
The NY Times (new) RSS Feeds
Now I know when the links in my aggregator were not working today… have to update the old and add the new… The NY Times is now providing its own RSS feeds, with several new categories including media and advertising, most-emailed, real estate, theater, Times on the Trail, multimedia, theater, Circuits, Week in Review and … Read moreThe NY Times (new) RSS Feeds
This Ad Is for You
There’s an interesting piece in today’s NTY Business section on how cable companies (both carriers and networks) are working to roll-out technology to customize ads… The Weather Channel is rolling out their own technology this October and will allow an advertiser to alter a message based on the pending weather forecast… Six Flags is testing … Read moreThis Ad Is for You

Leap Frog introduces Leap Pad for babies
I know it’s a bit sick, but I’ve been thinking of the LeapPad since before Hannah arrived… I’ve always seen them as very smart learning instruments (yet they can feel like toys) and have just been waiting for the time when Hannah was of age to really get some value. I guess that day is … Read moreLeap Frog introduces Leap Pad for babies
g-mailto and g-mailit
Some nice bookmarklets over at sippey.com to let you initiate clean new GMail messages as well as messages which include a subject and url based on what page you are currently browsing.
Amazing But True
This is actually quite sad. I wonder it it’s just an oversight or if all MS Reader content gets this protection regardless of what it is. I don’t know whether it is a MS policy, but I’ve downloaded a good number of free Palm Reader e-Books that were free from protection because they were either … Read moreAmazing But True
Quick Feedburner Follow-up…
I just saw that Steve Rubel switched to Feedburner after reading about my experience and I realized I had not mentioned what I had done in making the switch to retain existing subscribers while picking up new ones through the new feed URI. Here’s the skinny from what I did earlier in the week so … Read moreQuick Feedburner Follow-up…
