A really great post has found its way to reddit from Jamie Zawinski, who’s a big name in developer circles (known as jwz), about his rough ride in trying to get a free tip calculator into the webOS App Catalog. Since I’ve been playing with Bell’s Palm Pre for the last week and trying out…
Rant: Okay, enough now, this is STUPID
Too often when I am driving between IntoMobile Towers and other destinations, do I still find people in the UK holding phones to their ears (for those of you that don’t know, that’s illegal over here!). It is absolutely infuriating, because it is so dangerous, and yet people flaunt it on a regular basis. I’m…
Dr. Jim: not a fan of Web Ads!
I’ve written before on Dr. Jim’s blog posts, because they always provide lively and stimulating commentary on various tech-related areas – recently culminating in a great piece he wrote on social networking (see my post on his post here). Now Dr. Jim has turned his attention to Web Ads. Quite apart from listing an impressive…
What I want from Apple’s next announcement
Okay, so Apple’s Rock ‘n’ Roll announcement was very nice, and had some good updates and new products. Particularly the new little Nano with video capture – very cheeky, and perfect for the ‘gimme now’ generation…! But Apple’s announcement disappointed a lot of people on many levels – that in itself doesn’t matter so much…
Totally unscientific test: polling brands of mobile devices carried by ringtone…
Okay, now before anyone launches in to a tirade in the comments, this was an unscientific test. Very unscientific. But the results were rather interesting, so I think. As I mentioned, I’m travelling this weekend, and have had the great pleasure of air travel within that. Waiting to get off the plane, during what seemed…
Time to sort out condenser Mics on Mobile phones…
I’m travelling this weekend, at an Exhibition somewhere in Europe (where and what ain’t that important) – and I’m getting killed for sound on Mobile calls to/from people by the background noise! I’m sure many of you have experienced this incredibly frustrating trend, whereby either you are trying to talk to someone (in which case…
Rant: Palm – now’s your chance to revive the Foleo netbook
I’ve already ranted about Palm and why they should revive the Foleo concept. I felt like I need to do it again – because I want one. But I don’t want the original Foleo, it was too bulky and way underpowered. What I want is something lighter and smaller, something that resembles the Sony Vaio…
Dr Jim: Does Technology Connection Mean Life Disconnection?
Have you ever had one (or more) of those occasions where someone else has been thinking exactly the same thing as you, and then written/said it at the same time? Well I can’t say it’s me in this instance, but instead our very our Stefan, and Dr. Jim Taylor (who I’ve mentioned before – see here)…
Rant: Nokia’s netbook dissapoints
I had few days to think it through about Nokia’s recently unveiled netbook and unfortunately I’m sad to report I’m disappointed. Here are few thoughts I had about it. In bed with WinTel Basically what Nokia has unveiled is yet another notebook. Sure, there’s the built-in GPS receiver and a great battery, but I’m sure…
iPhone and Wiimote sing along nicely
What we have here is a short video demoing how can Wiimote and iPhone sing along. As you’re about to see, the application, made by some really smart programmer, showcases Wiimote and how it’s used for controlling a virtual representation of itself on the iPhone. The question that pops in everyone’s head is why would…
