I got my D-Link TA from AT&T yesterday and installed the box, got the required updates for it and then tired moving it behind my router, but that mission failed. I tried a variety of things, but no luck yet. Perhaps in a subsequent update. In speaking with customer support, you are [...]

There’s much to like about the Eyehome digital media player as I noted previously. Tonight though I was able to get .vob files (the format actually on the DVD) to play with audio which means I can safely copy my DVD collection to disk and have a fully connected library to view from. [...]

This is a nice bonus to Windows Media users… though I wonder when or if this will reach other platforms like the Mac via iTunes. There’s no reason for it not to play through really… Sort of defeats the whole satellite bit since you no longer need an antenna making this simply premium [...]

An interesting piece from VNUnet on Skype’s pending video service… also noted is the recognition that not going with SIP may have been a mistake. Time will tell…

Peerio is getting out of the gate with a nice bang. They are the latest in the P2P VOIP space, but unlike Skype require no connection with the network other than through the other users. Skype requires the connection to ping the directory server in order to properly list you in a friend’s [...]

I got my iPod back today from Apple and was pleased to see it was a brand new 3G 40GB unit. Guess the old one was too messed up to bother repairing…

After seeing the Windows Media Center 2005 presentation at Digital Life I officially re-caught the bug to get something similar working at home. I’d certainly heard about the Eyehome digital media player previously, but had not had a chance to really figure it all out until this weekend. I am very happy with [...]

I arrived at Digital Life yesterday and met my buddy Sandro for some gadget goodness.
I snapped a few pictures which you can see here. Motorola had one of the larger booths and definitely had a nice display of phones and some new gadgets.

The RAZR V3 was a particular highlight as [...]

Apple’s Mail.app refuses to display HTML mail for my .Mac account for mail sent by Apple.
I received the .Mac newsletter tonight and also a notice about the mini store opening in my area and both were broken disjointed text versions. You’d think they could nail the text version, but if the HTML does not [...]

I’ll be adding this to my aggregator for sure. I’ve always enjoyed David Pogue’s writing and and think this will be a great way for a broader audience to start to get blogs since it will be part of the NYT.
New York Times technology columnist David Pogue wrote today that he will soon launch [...]

Indeed unbelievable…
Unbelievable. After I upgraded our home cable connection a couple months ago, there apparently is still no way to obtain an unmetered broadband pipe. I’ve managed to exceed the 30 gig in 30 days limit my provider continues to impose. [Adam Curry]

I just posted a piece on getting podcasts from iTunes to your Treo (or any Palm actually) at Treonauts! The fun continues…

Sync just works on the Mac which is what makes it so great through iSync… it’s a tad slow at times when you move large databases of info across multiple computers, and portable devices (phone, Palm, iPod etc…). You can do this via cable or over bluetooth. Apple gets it and they’ll be [...]

This is a great sounding idea, though clearly only for Windows for now and possibly not for blockbuster commercial releases either… starting with IMAX will prove it looks and sounds good, but won’t prove the commercial viability. It’s not too unlike initiating HD broadcast with the great looking PBS content.
I know Apple still has [...]
