Palm Pre not bad and AT&T fails with new iPhone 3.0
Posted by Jeff | Filed under /RANT ON!, Techie Stuff
I went and looked at the Palm Pre on Saturday. It’s not a bad phone but it’s a bit small for me and being on Spring is a 1-2 combo that left me waiting for WWMD today. Imagine my ’surprise’ when it was tevealed that the King of Carrier Fail, AT&T, would not have features ready for the new iPhone OS… And they are the only option here in the US without unlocking. Nice.
So now maybe it’s even… And I’m still looking. Tmobile you’re looking better by the minute.

Twitter … failing
Posted by Jeff | Filed under /RANT ON!
Their servers ping out, their API fails … you can’t even update or change your profile picture without dying out. A good idea (I guess) but a poor implementation of same. FAIL. 0 out of 5 jalapenos.
Why MacOSX is better than Windows
Posted by Jeff | Filed under /RANT ON!, Techie Stuff
Out of the blue my Windows PC just stops working like it always does … even with the new Windows 7. There just seems to be some things that for whatever reason just kill Windows to the point of ignoring the end-user (be it memory, hard drive access, I/O errors, WHATEVER) … The ONLY OS from Windows that I recall that didn’t have this woe was Windows 2000, and if I recall that was more or less based on NT which Microsoft got from somewhere else … ? Anywho … my Mac Mini running OSX … never dies. I’m sure there are things that I could do that would hose it, but I’ve not found them. I’m not a Mac lover, I’m just tired of Windows locking up and me looking at the screen with something that wasn’t saved immediately that I’m going to have to copy down because Windows just decided to freeze for no reason. UGH.
Blip.fm! Very cool!

Since XMRadio online now charges $2.99 a month to listen to the channels it looks like I’m moving on … no way I’m paying for what was free and that I didn’t listen to daily. Anyway, Blip.fm is a lot like Pandora but has some differences that you should check out – you can link it to Twitter as well as finding songs being played by “DJs”.

Whats the big appeal of Twitter?
Posted by Jeff | Filed under General Babble, Techie Stuff
I just snagged twitterfon for the iPhone a while ago and started adding people to it. Not too bad except you only get 100 updates an hour and I guess looking at a tweet counts as an update. Oh well. Will keep trying it to see if it’s actually worth spending time on. Way too busy with the TWIRP project but will see of it helps me stay in touch. On yeah, I’m posting this via my iPhone too. Too lazy to go get on the ‘puter I guess.
Cool new iPhone app

Found Flixster which blows the Showtimes and Now Playing apps for the iPhone out of the water. Now if I could find a free SSH app.

Man, without the Digg thing working, I’ve gone to Reddit …
Posted by Jeff | Filed under /RANT ON!, General Babble
There really wasn’t anything on the Digg site that Reddit doesn’t have save for the publishing piece (that’s still not working and Digg is doing NOTHING about it) — so skip that place. I’ve moved and am liking how Reddit is much better and doesn’t have the “power submitters” that game the Digg site.
