Daily-Weekly Finds #18

The fine folks at Dolby are finally going to fix the volume issue with TV’s and commercials.  I can’t wait.

This is awesome:

Xobni walks away from Microsoft, this is probably a good thing.  Xobni performance is poor to begin with and MS would have eventually dicked it up and killed the product after incorporating some of the features.  While Xobni is or appears to be useful, the penalty in performance for using it isn’t worth it IMHO.

Daily-Weekly Finds #17

Yeah, we all need one of these French Fry Holders:

I’m told if you fold it properly you can keep your waffles in it too.  Honestly if it was shaped to hold a Chipotle Burrito, I’d just have to get one.

This is why I love analysts.  They state the obvious and people care…

According to Citi analysts the 3G iPhone will be announced on June 9th during Steve Job’s keynote address at the Worldwide Developers Conference. The conference is scheduled for June 9-13 in San Francisco.

That’s going out on a limb if you ask me.  For what it’s worth, I predict the sun will rise in the east and set in the west on June 9th.  (WTF).

Wordpress 2.5.1 is out…  Fixes a bunch of stuff.  It installed here without a hitch.

It was a slow weekend, what can I say?

Daily-Weekly Finds #16

Oh my, if this is the best designers can come up with, we’re all screwed.

Frickin pants with built in keyboard/mouse.  Remember, someone spent money making this.  (yanko design)

Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 is released into the wild.

new iPhone beta (5A258f) bricked my iPhone.   I is not happy at the moment.

- Well that was a Pain the a$$, the direct update from the previous beta 3 fails miserably.    iTunes would see it and offer to restore it to 1.1.4, that also failed after about 10 minutes.  After finally reinstalling the previous beta, that worked.   But then the phone wouldn’t activate (unsupported OS, please update).  So we start over.  That didn’t appear to go well again, as it would get to one state in the Organize and say ‘waiting for phone’, only the last time a second instance of a phone appeared in the organize.  So I told that one to update as well while the other instance was ‘waiting’.  We’re back, but that process sucked completely.

I’m allowing iTunes to restore it (data) I hope that doesn’t jack it up.  The new OS contains two new apps/buttons.   iTunes and App store ;)

Daily-Weekly Finds #15

Customize your Outlook Today Page with cut and paste html

While there is no written rule, it’s generally accepted that you don’t release software on April Fools day.:
SonicWall_0401
I would think a ’security’ company such as SonicWall would be sensitive to that.

OS X on a UMPC

Windows XP SP3 is released to manufacturing to be released on the 29th.  So what exactly is there to manufacture?

Nice… Cracked LCD Wallpaper (via one mans blog)

(What can I say, it’s been a slow couple of days)

Daily-Weekly Finds #13

Super Mario Brothers in Javascript - Wow (via techtoolblog)

New COD Maps, play with the Dev’s and double EXP weekend coming to PS3 sometime in the future.  Now that the Ps3 is outselling xBox maybe we won’t be second class citizens for ever.

Google’s official ‘Code of Conduct’, it’s more than "Don’t Be Evil’, read it if you have nothing better to do.

VOIP calls from iTouch (via Engadget), now wouldn’t it just be ‘the shit’ if Cisco would put a Cisco Soft phone Cisco Telepresence’d Portable Unified Communications Software product on this and/or the iPhone?  Yeah, I’ll hold my breath.

Apparently, Xnobi, CRM4 Outlook Plugin, and X1 all on the same machine is a very bad combination.  While I do like Xobni, if it can’t coexist with CRM 4 that will be an issue.  If their goal is to be acquired by M$ (as it appears to be) they’ll need to address that.
