PC World - Frontline: iPhone Shows Need for New Wireless Network
A not-so-interesting complaint relating to the iPhone and AT&T’s EDGE data service. Yes, EDGE is slow for modern browsing tasks. AT&T has 3G and HSDPA networks available in many urban areas that Apple could have taken advantage of, relying on EDGE as a good fall-back in most rural areas. To be honest, most rural areas [...]
Video Import - New Tools
Since getting started in video blogging, I’ve found I needed something for importing video. While I’ve been meaning to do this for some time, I’ve finally picked up a package to help do this. Pinnacle’s Studio MovieBox Plus is now mine and operational on my Windows Vista laptop. An initial import from the vidcam [...]
Speech Recognition
It’s kind of interesting, I’ve been interested in speech recognition for many years. However, only recently has the technology really started to become useful. While it was included in Windows of XP, but I did little more than to test it out a little bit.
Obviously, speech recognition has been included in Windows Vista as [...]
Windows Home Server Blog : More Hockey Puck photo love
Even though Microsoft won’t be offering their own line of home server hardware, they did commission this beautiful design for the proof of concept.
Though I will probably build my home server from the ground up, the consumer crowd will love designs like this.

WiFi or Wireless WAN?
Kevin C. Tofel over at jkOnTheRun poses a very interesting question: Would you give up integrated WiFi for WWAN? Some UMPC devices only have one mini-PCI slot, and could accommodate either a WLAN or WWAN module. Or its possible that one may want on or the other, to keep weight in the computer down, [...]
Will ‘Tech Snack’ Tide You Over?
C|NET Tech TV is starting another show hosted by Veronica Belmont called Tech Snack. Will it fill your void for your technology cravings, or leave a bad taste in you mouth? Time will tell. (Sorry, I just couldn’t resist the puns… )

The Borg are among us… Geeks with headsets
Well, one thing for sure. There is quite a bit of geek pride that is on parade here at the Vista launch. I’d wager a good 30% of the attendies are sporting their BT headsets for the day.
Of course there are still some “old school” types with their corded headsets as well. [...]
Realizing the power of mobile tech
So I’m at the Microsoft Vista Launch event in Minneapolis today and I’m reminded just how powerful mobile technology is. It’s been a very productive morning already, and that was before the keynote started about an hour ago.
I’m on my second blog post, have checked my 5 email accounts, managed some comment spam, managed [...]
Future talk: Messaging
That’s one meeting I spent a few hours in - talking about future messaging plans for my employer. Yeah, we’re on Exchange 2003 just like about 90% of the rest of the world - and it works pretty good.
But you can’t rest on your laurels, and just because Exchange 2003 SP2 has been nice and [...]
T-Mobile Ranks Highest in Customer Service. Again
Some question why I stick with T-Mobile when there are so many other choices. Many mobile service providers have better phone selections or provide faster mobile data services.
One of the reasons is that the service I get from their support teams is unmatched. The other big reason is the very competitive pricing compared to the other [...]
