So, I’ve already mentioned my Nokia E61i phone. I still love it . . . I found a $20 data plan that will let me access Mobile Google Maps. Bottom line: If you have a Smart Phone and a data plan, get this application. Not just because it’s free, but because it is the most…
Wow, that’s a mouthful! There are two new games in town for music downloads. One is an indy type locale where you can find the up and comers . . . the other is a full on popular music freeby site . . . with a catch. Let’s start with Amie Street (www.amiestreet.com). It’s a…
So, I’m browsing the downloadable content on my TiVo and see free downloads to NBC pilots. I click through and grab about 5 (including Journeyman, which I’m thinking ought to turn out pretty good). How easy was it? It took literally less than 1 minute to select the shows. Then, they were on my TiVo…
So, I run pretty decent statistics packages on my servers. You can get unique visitors and overall hits, average hits, etc. But, that’s always been a bit vague to me. I always wanted to know what’s happening to a certain page . . . . . . and in walks Google. I had heard of…
I wrote earlier this year about the EMI Record company releasing non-DRM songs and albums to iTunes. Well, it’s in full effect and many other labels are taking part. To learn about that, click here. I was excited, then not excited. I was glad to hear that the files would not be copy protected, but…
I had an old Pentium II 450 MHz desktop just sitting in the attic. I thought I’d fire it up and take a trip down memory lane to Windows 98. Well, all I got was a background image and it didn’t move on from there. So, I thought it was time for a clean start.…
Let me preface this post with the fact the Google’s SMS text feature has long been a favorite of mine. Let’s say you need to visit a restaurant in another city, but you don’t know the phone or address. Well, just send a text message to googl (no “e”) with the business name, city, and…
OK, let’s look at the title of this post. You probably know iTunes . . . . that leaves DRM, and EMI. Here’s a quick overview: DRM stands for Digital Rights Management. It’s the stuff that keeps you from copying a music track you buy online from, say, iTunes for Rhapsody or the like. You…
Good Good Friday, everyone! I wanted to throw up a quick post about a pretty cool new feature (that I wrote about earlier) from TiVo and Amazon. It’s called Unbox and it allows you to download movies (rentals or purchases) to your TiVo. Sound pretty cool . . . it is – and somewhat isn’t.…
Hey, you know how I go on (and on and on) about online video downloads, etc.? Well, here’s a site that just might get it right (or some form of it). It’s called Joost (www.joost.com). The end result should be a form of TV . . . without the TV. If they can get it…
