Seriously trivial thoughts
Well, the day finally came. I happened to be in a Target and they had several Wii's just sitting there. I called my buddy and he confirmed that it was not an HD device…I'm out of HD inputs. I got the green light from my wife and my kid was foaming at the mouth. Took …
There is a certain financial podcast I listen to with very poor production values. Some parts are too loud, some too soft. It's difficult to listen to in a relatively quiet office environment using speakers. I pointed them to Levelator, a free level fixer, but so far, they obviously are not using it. Then it …
Since getting my tablet PC, I've been using a couple Firefox plug-ins that let me drag the page (Grab and Drag) or quickly page up/down (All-in-One gestures). Grag and Drag lets you drag a page with your mouse much like Adobe Acrobat does. What I quickly realized is that when you drag a page, your …
Got this for $18.69 + 6.30 SH&H on eBay from AstorStore. I’ve tried the original lame case that comes with the N800, a modded PSP clear case, and a portable 2.5″ HD Case Logic case, and I’ve never been truly satisfied. They either didn’t provide enough protection or where just too bulky and inefficient. I …
Yup, you read that right. For some unexplainable reason, turning ON Vista Aeroglass improved video performance on my Motion Computing LE1700! I was having issues playing back full-screen video. It would play fine at 100-200% size, but go full-screen and I'd get only a few frames per second. I determined I only had a problem …
US Airways charged me $50 to take my 14 year old daughter to the gate at LAX! Man. I think the plane ticket was $100. That's a bit excessive.
Finally got to reading my March 2008 issue of Maximum PC and came across this article on TVersity which was supposed to allow me to stream DivX and XVid videos from my PC to my Xbox 360. Well, it couldn’t have been easier. I just installed the app, the Xbox saw the share and I …
A lot has been written about how Google was able to adapt their email engine to support IMAP. It’s use of labels instead of a folder hierachy results in emails never being really deleted even when they are no longer visible in the Inbox folder/label. Essentially, the “Inbox” label is removed, so the email no …
This is the wired remote control that comes with the Nokia N95. The original one I had started getting the “Enhancement not supported” error message when I plugged it in. I read that this usually meant the battery was dead, but found it hard to believe there was a battery even in it since there …
Since the introduction of the iPhone, and later iPod Touch, I’ve been drolling over their sexc UI, particularly the coverflow feature. I also like the Safari browser, but without things like Flash support, I’m sure it’s significant limitations would eventually get to me. Another issue was that I have a lot of music in Microsoft’s …
