Spent the day fighting with technology and being beaten noncon by it.  So, who would have possibly thought that the Google+ API would be read only?!?  I can't auto post from my blog on http://www.barrylawfirmpc.com/blog to Google+.  Really?  It can only be done from Google+ back to the blog.  Can't even do it by using Google Reader because Google ( Read more... )

I wanted flash support. I also wanted 4G capability. The dual cameras were no big deal. The form factor..well, I'd rather have had iPad form factor since I have accessories for it. However, the Xoom called to me and I had to check it out ( Read more... )

That is significantly scary. Think of the ramifications. Think of the other governments of the world who would love to emulate that behavior ( Read more... )

In the meantime, please use my gmail email if possible. Both my home server AND mac.com are busted in different and unrelated ways. You can also use my work email if you know it. Perfect timing I tell you. In the grand scheme of things, it could be worse :-)

I went to view->folders->all. Nada. I tried resizing the window in case I made it smaller by accident. Nada. Re-opened and closed. Nada. Went to the ( Read more... )

While everything looked very much like a software issue, perhaps the firm ware was to blame for at least some of the issues. The new phone runs the K-9 mail client without crashing (much) and successfully navigates self signed SSL ( Read more... )

Over at InterCon, they used to give me all of the FCs, knowing that if anyone could break them I could. Wouldn't it be nice if Google hired me as "Destroyer of Hardware and Software?" I'd love that job ( Read more... )

Well, I got a nice Motorola Droid to see whether I like it better than the iPhone. I'm one of those crazy individuals who believes that technology should just work...as advertised, which unfortunately seems to be far too high a standard in the world of shoddy stuff. The iPhone mostly does this. However, I was a bit peeved at the non inclusion of ( Read more... )

Finally! Finally a system where you can effectively screen callers without simply not answering. Finally, a system that rings all my phones at once when trying to find me. *ahhhh ( Read more... )
