Evernote Puts A Foot Wrong – Updated: No They Didn’t

June 30, 2009

UPDATE: My bad. I thought Evernote had made a wrong move in the implementation of Stage 1 of notebook sharing.  My understanding when first trying to test the sharing was that not only did the person sharing a notebook have to be a premium user, but that even the person being ‘shared to’ had [...]

He Talked The Talk, And Then …

June 30, 2009

Everyone remember when one of Palm’s lead investors, Roger McNamee, talked some serious, serious trash a few months back about how all first gen iPhone users would not be using an iPhone anymore a month after their two-year anniversaries hit?  Here’s the money quote:
You know the beautiful thing: June 29, 2009, is the two- [...]

Fake Steve Is Back Full Force & Talking Trash to Palm

June 29, 2009

As of last week, Fake Steve Jobs is back after quite a long absence – and it’s good to see him firing on all his ruthless and scathing cylinders.  Over the last few days his posts are coming regularly again and Palm seems to be bearing the brunt of his satirical wrath.

Did Rogers lose my 3GS for a whole week?

June 27, 2009

You know, I had read so much about the long waiting lines and the back orders for the 2G/3G launches, so this year I decided I’d try to call a little earlier (ok, two days before launch) and try to get a 3GS over the phone – and to my surprise, it worked! The [...]

June 26, 2009

An interesting day for all things Palm vs. Apple and Pre vs. iPhone.  PreThinking highlights a Sprint ad that they say throws a punch at both Apple and AT&T. It takes a good swipe at those two and the iPhone, with the image of the chewed-up apple, as well as the ‘perfect timing’ headline [...]

Mac vs. PC: Argument = Over

June 25, 2009

Your PC cannot do this. LOL.  I can’t figure out how to get video embed to work on this one – so just click the pic – or HERE - to go see it.  It’s well worth it – and don’t worry if you don’t speak French – no need to, just watch what [...]

Bill Nye explains Oleophobic-ness on Gizmodo

June 25, 2009

One of the most widely covered features in the new iPhone 3GS is the oleophobic coating on the screen to ward off oil. It would be terrible for fried chicken, but it seems to be working pretty well for iPhone users thus far. In case you were wondering about how all that anti-oiliness works, [...]

Google Calendar speaks CalDAV to the iPhone

June 23, 2009

When Apple announced that the iPhone OS 3.0 would fully support CalDAV with SSL, I was excited to see if this, combined with my Google account, could take over and serve my personal calendar and email needs, which have been provided by MobileMe from the day it launched last year.
