SkyFire Mobile Browser: After the Install
Posted by Marilyn Torres on Jun 27, 2009 | Comments
One of the first things i do with a mobile browser after download and installation, is run it through a site gauntlet, that is, a mix of sites with oodles of embedded media. The first browser to push daises during this test was Pocket IE, which almost goes without saying. Detected as a mobile browser by most sites, limited settings, and non-existent Flash or Javascript support, Microsoft’s browser has long been...

First off, I would like to open by thanking Matthew Gould again for his time in helping me with this. I just got off the phone with him and he is the VP of Corporate Communications for MLB.com.

App of the Day: Copy and Paste Made Way, Way Better!
Posted by Steve Laser on Jun 25, 2009 | Comments
A couple days ago I presented a software program called, CopyPaste Tool, a utility that allows you to copy multiple clips of information before pasting. I liked it, but it had some issues. As you know, the Windows Clipboard only allows you to copy one item at a time. If you find yourself copying then pasting over and over, then a program like CopyPaste Tool or the new one I will present, will allow you...
Fujitsu ST6012 Tablet PC Pictures
Posted by ctitanic on Jun 25, 2009 | Comments
To me, the Fujitsu ST6012 is one of the best looking slate tablet pc released in the last few years. From the point of view of Hardware is not bad either. The only point I don’t like is the price. Come on! Is this an Apple?! $2000!? $2579!? have they heard about the reception?!
Any way, GotBeMobile has posted some really good pictures of this Tablet PC.
Except for still feeling a little sluggish, I have not lacked...

Giz: Zune HD coming in 16G/32G
Posted by Zealot on Jun 24, 2009 | Comments
A tipster whose name was not revealed just dropped some internal marketing documents over at Gizmodo that list the initial capacities for the Zune HD, 16G in black and 32G in silver. The documents also mention the US release date…September 8.
Two and a half months…think that is enough time to convince MS to release one in 64G, maybe in charcoal or gunmetal? Gosh I hope so.
Oh, the tipster also provided the beautiful...

Protected by Microsoft Security Essentials
Posted by ctitanic on Jun 24, 2009 | Comments
Yes, I installed Microsoft Security Essentials Beta. It’s too early for an educated opinion. Testing an AV is not easy unless you have a private Zoo full of Virus and Spyware.
Still, I scanned my PC and it found two issues. One of them is a version of VNC that I use to remotely assist some clients. So even when there is some risk I would call this a false alarm in my particular case. The other one was a legit one....

App of the Day: Copy and Paste Made Better
Posted by Steve Laser on Jun 23, 2009 | Comments
Don’t you often find yourself going back and forth, copying things from two or more sources to paste them into one? My work database is separate from my contacts database, so I have to copy the name, then paste it into my contacts database, then copy the address, then the zip, and phone numbers. It’s time consuming and tedious. But I found a cool, free software that will change all that!

Posted by Zealot on Jun 23, 2009 | Comments
UMPC Portal is reporting that Kohjinsha is breaking it’s recent silence with a new UMPC, the SK3, designed to run Windows 7. The device looks great from the pictures (all serious information appears to still be in Japanese) and will be available in Japan by the end of the month today.
I came very close to buying a Kohjinsha device some months ago but it ended up being pushed off my wishlist by other more mainstream...
