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.

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 [...]

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 free!

I [...]

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.

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.

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]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 first [...]

Great news for anyone trying to deal but not able to generate an enclosure based feed…

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
