Huge review of the Sony Ericsson P900. Lots of pictures. Supposedly on sale October 25th.
I am convinced that I need a built in keyboard, so this combo phone isn't for me. But that's a personal thing. This phone (along with the current P800 model) is definitely at the top of it's class and worth a serious look.
There is a very large lack of information coming out of Sprint concerning the availability of the Treo 600. It's not in stores, but may be available for ordering (or not depending on who you talk to at Sprint.) It shouldn't be this hard. Either it's out or it's not out. Right?
I *am* trying to be patient.
If you are a super geek and have ever wondered why mp3 files have a fraction of a second of dead air at the beginning and end (insert complaint about ripping Dark Side of the Moon here) this article will explain it.
I convinced someone that I have something to do with some restaurants on clinton street and now here I am at a wine tasting drinking in the middle of the afternoon. Nice work if you can get it. And not that I am unappreciative of the wines, but my real goal was to rub shoulders with some of the big wigs in the wine blogging world. Mission accomplished.
Just found Kevin "Whole Earth Catalogue / Wired Magazine" Kelly's great site Recomendo:
Here are my recommendations for cool stuff. I include any books, tools, software, videos, maps, gadgets, hardware, websites, or gear that are extraordinarily handy or useful for individual and small groups.
I have over 2000 unread emails my mail client has helpfully marked as spam and put into a separate junk mail folder for me. This is a cool feature, for sure. I used to look through this folder every day or so just to be certain it wasn't holding any false positives. But it's just too much now. So I've stopped looking. And so hopefully nothing you have sent me is sitting in that folder.
As a related suggestion, you might not want to mention viagra or home mortgages if you want your email to get through my shields.
Online Journalism Review interview with the principle scientist behind google news.
Toorcon is a comprehensive, three-day information security extravaganza, featuring lectures from some of the top experts in the field and hands-on demonstrations of the newest approaches to information security and security management.
Here are two "impressionistic transcript[s] by Cory Doctorow": security super guru Bruce Schneier's keynote, as well as that of the always amusing and insightful Robert Cringely.
Cingular is having some sort of GSM cellular melt down. Details are sparse. I know at least one person having trouble with AT&T wireless GSM too (but those networks shouldn't have anything to do with each other, should they? Or could roaming agreements set up some sort of cascading service failure situation?)
How are your cell phones working today?
It was 20 years ago today...
And he pretty much did it. Well, except for the kernal part where there is still, alas, some work to do. Luckily this other guy named Linus had a project of his own that took care of that. And thus we ended up with GNU/Linux, a completely free and open computer operating system.
Thanks!
