Unhappy with the latest Logitech QuickCam Drivers
Here is an example of when the automatic update feature that is increasingly being enabled on software and drivers is a headache. Driver stability.
My "new" laptop (I bought it in May), has a built-in 1.3MP WebCam that utilizes the Logitech QuickCam firmware. That’s great because it’s recognized by the Logitech drivers and all the [...]
Is 2007 the year of computer replacement
Blogging bud Kent Newsome talks about the new computer he picked up this week, and it just occurred to me how many people I know did PC replacement this year. This spring I bit the bullet on a new laptop, three friends replaced their systems and in August, my father switched from a desktop to a [...]
iPhone Security Holes Patched
As much as I’d like to poke fun at the iPhone security issue(s), I have to agree with Peter Suciu over at MobileCrunch. Security holes are no laughing matter for anyone, and companies that follow Microsoft’s lead and issue quality patches in a timely manner are to be commended on being responsive to their customers. [...]
In the Mogulus Beta
So I just received my invitation to Mogulus, and it’ll have to wait until I get back home to really give it a try. Mogulus is a live broadcasting service that has many professional-style editing, cueing and mixing features. It also allows for a selecting of live feeds rather than only one feed. This [...]
iPhone Launch TV - Mogulus
Yeah, so I get an email this morning announcing Mogulus-hosted coverage of the iPhone launch. So, being interested in Mogulus, I click the link, the page loads and….
Well Mogulus, here is your first problem. My interest in this link was two-fold, I wanted to see a little bit of the carnage of the Apple [...]
This is not your father’s Hotmail…
Well Microsoft finally released the new “Live” version of Hotmail. Since I’ve been using it for several months, I haven’t been able to talk much about it. Not that its features have been much of a secret, but I’ll hit the highlights here and let others offer up true reviews of the service.
It pretty [...]
Setting up a new laptop
So, I’ve picked up a new Acer Aspire laptop for my consulting work. It was a pretty good deal - $750 for a 1.86GHz Dual Core, 2GB DDR2, 160GB HDD, Dual Layer DVD Burner, 802.11abg WiFi, and a 15.4″ Widescreen.
Spent a good portion of the day loading up Windows Vista Ultimate, Office 2007, Firefox, [...]
Back on Vista
I know I like to “ping-pong” between operating systems, but I just thought I’d mention that I’m back on Windows Vista. Since I’ve finally upgraded my major software licenses from Windows XP and Office 2003, to Windows Vista and Office 2007 - I’ll be on full shipping versions rather than late-beta and release candidate [...]
Zoho partners with EchoSign, updates Zoho Writer
Zoho Writer is now integrated with EchoSign. This kind of cooperation and partnering is what breads great products. The enhancements just updated on Zoho Writer entice me to use the product more than Google Writer for example.
Also updated/added is support for Box.net, another online service I use, and blogging tweaks to make posting from [...]
Fujitsu P1610 Now Shipping with Vista Business
I’ll admit I’ve been linking to jkOnTheRun a lot for news lately, but James and Kevin are simply on top of everything a mobile pro needs. I’ve been following James Kendrick’s use of his P1610 for several months and have to admit it’s currently my top choice for my next computer. My second choice [...]
