Enough Said!!

Road Runner getting more speed
I love reading that even more speed will be coming my way soon… Road Runner said Tuesday that it will boost the download speed for its basic subscribers, who pay $45 a month, from 3mbps to 5mbps. Its premium customers, who pay $84.95 a month, will get a boost from 6mbps to 8mbps. The move … Read moreRoad Runner getting more speed
T-Mobile’s Pain
Nice thought piece by Jesse Kopelman at The Broadband daily on what T-Mobile might consider doing now that they are officially a sitant last in the major wireless game. Hard to argue the logic here… just a matter of how much pride needs to be swallowed in order to move on some of the ideas … Read moreT-Mobile’s Pain
The Long Tail
In case you missed reading The Long Tail either in Wired or online, you can now download a PDF thanks to ChangeThis. It’s a great read and now in a well structured format for either screen or printing.
StickyBrain 3
Chronos has updated StickyBrain and seems totally worth checking out. You can collect and manage notes from all over your system and SYNC to either your Palm or iPod. You can also link to your Address Book as well as Mail. I’ve just downloaded it and will be moving some stuff I’ve been collecting in … Read moreStickyBrain 3
DIY Verizon Treo 650
Engadget notes a hack to the Sprint Treo 650 to get it working on Verizon…
“To Tivo” is Bad?
I don’t understand why Tivo would protest this, other than to generate publicity for themselves which, might very well be the point. Seems that to become part of the language is a great thing for branding … see Kleenex for Tissues and Coke for cola as examples. However, the company has recently stepped up efforts … Read more“To Tivo” is Bad?
PalmSource’s Paradigm Shift
Andrew wrote a great post today on the PalmSource move to linux. A recommended read for all. We’ve talked about the announcement the past few days and I have to say I agree with this commentary. PalmSource will certainly gain from the move – opening doors that would have previously remained closed. Time will tell … Read morePalmSource’s Paradigm Shift
Archive and Re-install
This weekend I took the plunge and decided it was time to reinstall the system on my Powerbook. I had been suffering from Kernal panics for a while but hoping magically and pathetically it would go away with some system cleansing. I was wrong. Every few days or even sooner I’d be greeted by a … Read moreArchive and Re-install
Technorati Favelet
The Technorati Favelet lets you see what’s being said about any page you are on, or even some text selected on that page… very cool!
Nokia 6630: light on RAM?
Russs Beattie discovers the new Nokia 6630 has a wacky limited and proprietary memory scheme… Nothing like a new standard to tweak the geek in you. Another thing, I was completely surprised that I couldn’t take my 512MB RS-MMC out of my 7610 (that Nokia also leant me) and pop it into my 6630. I … Read moreNokia 6630: light on RAM?
Amazon.com: Unlocked Phones
Operation Gadget reported that Amazon is finally selling Unlocked Phones. Very cool to see this from a major retailer in the US…
The Broadcast flag striking your DVR soon…
Get ready for the suck. It’s no secret that the Broadcast flag is coming and that your cable DVR (probably Sat) and Tivo will all quietly start erasing things you thought you had indefinitely saved for later… Time-Warner is arm-twisting cable companies into agreeing to a scheme to automagically erase your saved episodes of Six … Read moreThe Broadcast flag striking your DVR soon…
Gizmodo on the Treo 650
I was reading the Gizmodo review of the Treo 650 and had a few thoughts to add…First the bits of interest: PalmOS advocates often tout the vast library of PalmOS applications available for the platform — I’ve made that same observation myself — but many of the applications are designed for older Palms with lower-resolution … Read moreGizmodo on the Treo 650
The Potential of SIP
There’s a great new post by Chris Holland at The Broadband Daily on the potential of SIP or Session Initiation Protocol. SIP is currently being used by some VOIP providers and can provide a path for IM, Voice and Video as well as file transfer. The beauty is that it’s realtime unlike email. However just … Read moreThe Potential of SIP
Too Many Routers
I currently have 3 routers running here and it’s causing some issues… My current setup looks like this: ATT CallVantage D-Link Router Linksys Router (used to be my only one) Vonage Linksys Router Linksys Switch Apple Airport Extreme I only have two computers but I have quite a few devices connected on the network as … Read moreToo Many Routers
To stick with TMO or not…
I like T-Mobile and have been very happy with the service as well as their policies on usage… but the latest news from Reuters states that they will not be heading to 3G for at least 2 years and that EDGE will begin to rollout next year as a holdover. My Treo 650 will (hopefully) … Read moreTo stick with TMO or not…
Pocket Video with Kinoma
I just completed an article with Andrew at Treonauts on using and converting video for viewing on the Treo with Kinoma… I found Kinoma to be a great way to convert and view content for the Palm of your hand.
ZeFrank strikes again!
I love this guy’s work… Enjoy a new piece on how to compose proper emails.
