Eminem on SNL
Call me crazy, but I think Eminem was reading from a teleprompter during his performance of Mosh to keep up with his lipsynching… There were definitely a few out of sync moments. I like the song, the video and the message, but it was still a surprising reveal.
1001 for Flickr
Very cool new desktop client for Flickr… You can upload from your desktop or iPhoto as well as view updated photos from contacts and friends. 1001 is a desktop client to be used in conjunction with Flickr, the online photo-sharing website. 1001 not only uploads photos to your Flickr account, it notifies you anytime new … Read more1001 for Flickr
No 411 on CallVantage?
I just discovered that there is no 411 service on AT&T’s CallVantage service. You can only do lookups via their Anywho.com service or obviously any other online directory of your choosing. Kind of a strange piece to leave out if you ask me. I don’t call 411 too often, but just tried and found out … Read moreNo 411 on CallVantage?
HD will kill the paid DVR market
I was reading Jim Louderback’s review of the Hughes DirecTV DVR on Extremetech and got to thinking… You’ve got to be crazy to spend upwards of $1000 for a DVR. I know the Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8000HD system I have is far from perfect, but It’s integrated with my cable service and the box is … Read moreHD will kill the paid DVR market
Why there’s no video iPod
Michael Gartenberg at Jupiter Research posts on what he views as the real reason for the lack of a video iPod and it’s actually quite simple – legal. While there are plenty of ways to convert or simply play video content from a DVD on your home network none are actually legal even though you … Read moreWhy there’s no video iPod
Treo 650 GSM in January?
I caught a tip via Palm Addicts which led me over to Expansys… Looks like the Treo 650 will be available in January…
How to configure your router to allow fast BitTorrent downloads
Thanks to this page at The Peer-to-Peer Weblog I was able to tweak my router settings for a noticeably faster Bit Torrent. I’ve noticed that transfers previously slated for days are now mere hours. Nice.
DIY MMS
MMSLIB is a PHP library for decoding and encoding MMS (Multimedia Message Service) messages. Use it to create your own MMS Proxy-Relay, as the library author has done for his own Peffisaur (nee MMS Diary) app [MobileWhack] There are many uses for this – like not paying for each message, not having your messages tracked … Read moreDIY MMS
Jumsoft | Process
Jumsoft Process is a very nice outliner for OS X. It can handle projects as separate files but from the same interface, which is nice and enables easy tracking of workflow. You can easily manage due dates and priorities and link files relevant to your tasks. In my brief test the only real issue I … Read moreJumsoft | Process
Sprint Treo 650 will soon be capable via Bluetooth
According to this note on Mobilewhack, Sprint will eventually release the locked bluetooth profiles to allow the Treo 650 to be used as as modem. Score one for consumer protest. Due to some development deadlines, the phone has been launched as described, without the DUN [dial-up networking] capability. However, as part of a scheduled maintenance … Read moreSprint Treo 650 will soon be capable via Bluetooth
TiVo thoughts
Just ran across this statement on TiVo… certainly hits the nail on the head — especially now that DVR penetration is pushing ahead right from the Cable and Satellite guys… How do you convince consumers that paying a premium for first class is a good idea when the folks sitting in coach either don’t know … Read moreTiVo thoughts
SmartCast
Great news for anyone trying to deal but not able to generate an enclosure based feed… As the enthusiasm about Podcasting has grown in recent weeks, so has our enthusiasm for more generally managing RSS enclosures (we don’t get out much). In the past couple weeks, we have received numerous emails asking if we could … Read moreSmartCast
HAVAS Scores Vonage
Havas certainly needed this win… Should be interesting to see how this money gets spent as it’s going to be very tough to keep up with the market setting spend of ATT CallVantage. Internet phone service pioneer Vonage, in a tough battle to maintain market share in the emerging market, said it has awarded its … Read moreHAVAS Scores Vonage
Treo 650 Smartphone
Finally live on the PalmOne site
Treo 650 Product Specifications
A link from Treonauts led me to a pending product page from Palm. The Treo 650 is one of the worst kept secrets in gadget-land and will be officially announced tomorrow. The main disappointment to me is the low internal memory. I’d been hoping for more to allow for both more apps installed as well … Read moreTreo 650 Product Specifications
MyC3
MyC3 is a very cool car-puter designed to play your MP3s and will soon support an rsync nightly to maintain a fully up to date collection in both car and home.
Outsourcing: The Real Picture
Om points to this clip from Conan on outsourcing (WMV)…It’s hilarious and well worth the time.
CallVantage behind the Router
I got this working today and am very pleased… I am back to my previous network and ports I was redirecting to various places from outside are working again. This means I can now make and receive calls correctly from behind any router in theory which means I can make and receive calls from anywhere … Read moreCallVantage behind the Router
