Roland Tanglao can’t get Shozu working with a TomTom GPS on his N80ie consistently which is actually better than I’ve done with the N73 and my Nokia LD-1W GPS. I can’t get the GPS function to load up — at all. It’s like it’s not in my build and I am using the [...]

Just caught this from Chris… whoa is right.

Sorry, I… I gave Vista a real chance. I just can’t use it as my primary OS anymore. It’s NOT horrible at its core (by any stretch of the imagination). If all of your hardware and software are fully baked, you’re good to go – but [...]

I am looking to find a GMail command and have yet to discover it within the land of Greasemonkey scripts…

I’d really like to be able to select and move either forward or backward in my list of messages. To do this today you have to hit X JO or X KO. [...]

There’s quite a bit of buzz today regarding Apple’s announcement that the Apple TV will be delayed until at least mid-March. It seems unlikely that a bug is the cause since it was supposed to have shipped this week to make the February deadline they had announced.

My guess is that there’s an enhanced something [...]

I’ve been playing a bit with Joost and Zudeo and am am quite impressed with the overall quality as well as speed in which things are happening. I should mention that I use a (almost) 30 / 5 Mbps down cable connection which I tend to also use with either a GigE wired connection [...]

Just in from the NYT… and in case you are wondering it requires Windows Media Player 11, which means yet again NO Mac Support.
On Monday, the company, whose technology unleashed a wave of illegal file-sharing on the Internet, plans to unveil the BitTorrent Entertainment Network on its Web site, BitTorrent.com. The digital media store will [...]

For some reason now for the past few nights I get a ton of email at around 11:30pm – now actually. Last night I received about 200 messages which I had been missing for the past few days – some on up to 3 day delay. I’ve emailed tech support at GMail, but [...]

I got a message from Google Groups saying it was tough to reach me the past few days…. and I thought it was just a slow email day or two.
The disturbing part is that I actually have the mx record pointing through Google for the Google apps for your Domain service… so is this [...]

Bandwagon which launches this week is going to enable simple point and click backup of your iTunes library to Amazon’s S3 storage cloud!! This is awesome! While I’ve got my library sitting on a local RAID, having an offsite location for over 200GB of data is a great feeling of security.

Seriously looking forward [...]

Simply point your browser to http://openbossa.indt.org/canola/ and have fun. They are using the latest installer tech for Maemo, so by simply clicking the install link, you’ll have the application repository automatically added which makes everything quite nice…

Once the repository is on your tablet, you’ll be able to track updates within the application manager [...]

Just a quick thank you to Verizon for knocking my phone service out today for some unexplained reason — and especially for not being able to address the problem until tomorrow.

I’ll keep this in mind the next time I see your advertising making sure I know that a phone is “always on” unlike [...]

While there does not seem to be anything official anywhere I can confirm and have seen other reports in forums that Apple’s Airport Extreme (N) does not currently support RAID disks. My Western Digital My Book 1TB absolutely does not work, period. When I connect a small portable 100GB USB disk, I am [...]

ThoughtFix gives a solid rundown on Carman which released last week as I noted previously. He’s done a great video of the app running in-car, which is exactly where you’d want to be to understand how the system performs.

I am still very interested in getting this going myself, though I have yet to track [...]

This is seriously frustrating!! My new Airport Extreme is active as clearly noted in this pic, yet my Express cannot connect to it through the configuration software… makes me wonder how it can both see it and not see it at the same time.

I have yet to see my shared disk on the network [...]

I’ve noticed that I’ve attracted some readers from some very interesting domains on a regular basis and thought I should mention directly that I am actively seeking new opportunities. My bio is on the about page, but here are a few bits you may have picked up from reading various posts which I think [...]

Symbian-Guru notes Nokia’s press release today which apologizes for the delay in releasing the Nokia Maps app after their initial announcement and invitation for the trial. As you might recall I ranted a bit and did an initial review when it was eventually released days later.
I’ve continued to play with Nokia Maps and [...]

Carman for Maemo looks amazing

I discovered Carman on Maemo Garage last night…
I am pretty sure that most cars built in the US after 2000 have the required connector under the hood to send the data to your Nokia Tablet with an additional bluetooth device. I’m not that much of a car geek, but I [...]

Does anyone know if it’s possible to use the video calling feature of Nokia’s N-Series phones for calls over wifi? I can’t figure it out but think it would be a great way to do enhanced VOIP chat… similar to what the N800 can do, but using the N80 or N93…
