« Previous EntriesPalm Tungsten T5 Update
Tuesday, February 28th, 2006November 18th, 2004. That’s the day my Palm Tungsten T5 arrived from Buy.com and I became one happy camper. The styling was the first thing to catch my eye as I opened the box, and the thought came to mind of how much it reminded me of the Palm Vx it was replamcing. My Vx [...]
Settlement Not an Option, RIM Says
Monday, February 27th, 2006Well, it looks like RIM will be eating all these words over the next few years. The $600+ Million dollar settlement is a slightly different outcome than RIM predicted just a few days ago. Oh, and by the way, this settlement is almost $200 million more than NTP had offered RIM before. I could make [...]
Survey: Rural broadband users closing gap
Monday, February 27th, 2006This set of numbers shows that broadband usage is growing significantly, not only in the cities, but in rural America also.

Google cuts off new Page Creators
Friday, February 24th, 2006This is one thing that drives me crazy about Google. They launch a new product, label it “beta” and cap the exposure. There is nothing wrong with controlling the “beta” tests. Most companies do a limited roll out of a new product, and after the kinks are worked out, offer it to the public.
Not Google! [...]
Rumor: Apple to Offer Downloads of Entire Movies - Gizmodo
Friday, February 24th, 2006Apple and full movies … This is a turn that should produce a queasy feeling in the stomachs of other companies working on movie downloads. The one thing Apple has that most other online vendors don’t is the full control of the process. They host, catalog, present with iTunes, one click download, and onto the [...]
