I bent my 12-inch…

Was getting up from my desk and flipped my 12-inch into the air. Had to at least make a 360 degree, if not 720. It happened so fast. Landed on the front right corner (where the battery is housed). This caused the metal casing to bend in a slight fraction at [...]

Just a biased observation, but…

The iTunes Music Store just got a lot less cool. ;-b

Buzz2Talk

Russell Beattie has found the coolest thing ever for the 3650: Buzz2Talk. It allows for Voice Over IP communications with the 3650. Why is this so cool? Well, at its most basic level, this means you can call anyone now, whether they be on a landline, on a cellphone, or on a [...]

Updated Read Me File

I updated the Read Me file in the Share2Blue2th (76.3KB) package. I left the old read me labeled as “OLD SUPERSTITIOUS-READ ME,” just in case the superstitious among you wish to follow its more detailed and unnecessary instructions. That is all…

10.2.8 bad for 12-inch battery…

MNJ notes this in more detail, but if one of your friends says, “Hey, I have a copy of the 10.2.8 update that Apple removed from their servers! Let’s load it up on your 12-inch!!!” Don’t do it! It sucks the battery down at double the speed it used to suck down on [...]

EVEN More on KMremoteControl…

Well, I’ve done all the experimenting that I promised I would do in my earlier post on this. The good news: the key-combination now works, and I can use KMremoteControl to enter CTRL+ALT+DEL via my 12-inch’s keyboard now when controlling my Windows 2000 print server. The bad news (not really): following Bryan [...]

New Nokia Gadgets…

Check out this Wired article about the new gadgets Nokia is releasing. They are all pretty cool, but my favorite is this one, which is a digital picture frame. From Nokia’s site:
Receive digital images via MMS and display them in a stylish frame. Its clean design blends in well at home or in [...]

I was wrong…

Well, after having my home Airport network go down after my cable ISP went down, I had to do some extensive Airport troubleshooting to get the connection back up on my Extreme Base Station. In any case, during this hair-pulling, I discovered that no matter how much I insisted that one must make sure [...]

Series 60 Platform Community Awards 2003

I was rather shocked and flattered to receive an invitation to the Series 60 Platform Community Awards 2003 in my inbox this morning. Who knew Nokia was reading this blog? From the invitation:
The Series 60 Platform Community is setting aside a day to recognize the companies who have made the biggest impact on [...]

More on KMremoteControl…

Nothing convinces me that a software product is worth buying more than a very communicative developer. I received two emails today from Bryan Derman of Derman Enterprises Incorporated, who makes KMremoteControl. Evidently, they’ve been having mail troubles, so he resent me something that he sent a while back after my first exchange with [...]

FlashCast

Russell Beattie has a rather detailed post about FlashCast from Macromedia, which will support Flash on the 3650. Here’s the direct link to the cool CNET video of the service.

There’s a new version of KMRemoteControl out that lets you control multiple computers from your 12-inch’s mouse and keyboard:
KMremoteControl 1.20
Keyboard/Mouse Switcher — Use your favorite keyboard and mouse for all the Macs and PCs on your desk. [Mac OS X Downloads]
It has added a key combination substitution feature that I had hoped would fix my [...]
