Since the computer is a speed demon, it could be used for nuclear weapons research.

They offer more controlled experience and keeps its users safe within its walls. Apple is entirely different from both - they concentrate on their hardware section. They do have a web services like iTunes music store. Apple comes from the old world. Its elegant products cocoon customers from the chaos of the information age, but the Apple experience tends to be highly controlled, with Apple hardware at the end points and Apple software and services, like the iTunes Music Store, in between.<br /><br />All the players are in for making Big money.

The interesting part of CellSerf IM is that it does not require VoIP or 3G network to send Multimedia IM from mobile. The application uses innovative technology to communicate multimedia content over 2.5G network.

The standalone program would allow users to store their emails on their own computer and work on email offline, even when not connected to the web.</p> While I wouldn't put this past Google, it doesn't really make a ton of sense to me. Sure, it's convenient to be able to write your emails offline, I suppose, but you can use plenty of standalone clients with Gmail already. Google probably wouldn't bring much new to the marketplace, and I don't see a huge benefit to them investing the man-hours into creating a piece of software that they'd then have to support on many different computers. It seems to me that they should just stick with the online client, but I know better than to question the wisdom of the great G.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589378766388986277.post-48638362125037589012007-09-19T11:00:00.000-07:002008-12-09T00:56:44.716-08:00adobe photoshop cs3 for iphone<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkWHuNxm-YGbWSWTp1pZbJtunel7_Mq1C3itfL3mdioryyc4CYBYJSScvaXoMb_BaJyizcMJhe__L3UCtV7g-anbr9yagYEgRV4zOrOi7bG3abqo_O79z7BXy566X2ZyX16OwuhFncX54/s1600-h/photoshop_iphone_2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkWHuNxm-YGbWSWTp1pZbJtunel7_Mq1C3itfL3mdioryyc4CYBYJSScvaXoMb_BaJyizcMJhe__L3UCtV7g-anbr9yagYEgRV4zOrOi7bG3abqo_O79z7BXy566X2ZyX16OwuhFncX54/s400/photoshop_iphone_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5111976960936387154" border="0" /></a>So now that you’ve snapped a few photos with your iPhone’s super-duper camera, where do you turn to edit your pix?

I’ve basic’d it down as much as I can because it does get tricky in places.<br /><br /><p align="left"><strong>1. </strong>The user starts the session by double clicking a contact.<br /><strong>2. </strong>The user’s Windows Live ID credentials are sent across to the Windows Live ID Credentials server for further verification<br /><strong>3. </strong>The information is passed through a incoming only firewall to the <em>dispatch</em></p> <p align="left"><em> server. </em>This is the first point of connection for the message being sent.<br /><strong>4. </strong>Depending where the user is in the world, a connection will be made to the local <em>notification server. </em>There are main ones in Singapore, Dublic, Redmond and Reading. This keeps the connection between the two users alive, and keeps things updated such as user status, chat requests and email notifications from Windows Live Mail/Hotmail.<br /><strong>5. </strong>The message itself doesn’t go near the notification servers - it is passed onto the <em>switchboard server </em>which is the where all the messages and files are exchanged. The user starting the chat can talk to one user, whilst using another switchboard session to talk to someone else, and another switchboard session for someone else still - without even knowing it. Invitations, file transfers and video/voice chat are also sent through here.<br /><strong>6. </strong>The information is then relayed back through an outgoing firewall and checks the user is still online. If the user is offline by the time the message is ready to be received, then it’ll bounce back and be saved on the switchboard session until the user logs back on again. If they are online, they will receive the message.</p> <p align="left">This is all done in the space of around 2 seconds - most of the time your message will be sent at least twice around the world, in the space of 2 seconds. Not bad eh?<br /></p><p align="left"><a href="http://rambleinthoughts.com/messenger-plus-add-on-for-windows-live-messenger-features-download-and-customize/"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;">Check Out Messenger Plus for Windows Live Messenger - A Freeware add on for Live Messenger Here</span></a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589378766388986277.post-33190687503668801792007-09-16T06:54:00.000-07:002008-12-09T00:56:45.042-08:00Wii feeling blue? go green or red instead<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6VylJRAQdYrQ4G_ntbnXxisVlbd_73qgwt3KDl0FRC-1cE1BJ9RIXmkamf2kbGLK2r0_8yqZEMdFSmzESQQG1ErsDxGl5QIn-9LAZcSa29N1J3Rh1J7yIUMcvyVWqCQibNDGwiCZANOg/s1600-h/Wii.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6VylJRAQdYrQ4G_ntbnXxisVlbd_73qgwt3KDl0FRC-1cE1BJ9RIXmkamf2kbGLK2r0_8yqZEMdFSmzESQQG1ErsDxGl5QIn-9LAZcSa29N1J3Rh1J7yIUMcvyVWqCQibNDGwiCZANOg/s400/Wii.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5110801101812069282" border="0" /></a><br />If you’re looking for a quick and easy mod to change the look of your Nintendo Wii, here’s a kit that lets you easily change the color of the LEDs in the console’s DVD loading slot.<br /><p>The <a href="http://www.talismoon.com/cgi-bin/multipage/engine.pl?function=viewcat&cat=WII">Talismoon</a> DVD Gate is a simple kit that should take less than ten minutes to install, letting you quickly swap out those blue LEDs for red or green ones instead.

You gain a thinner shell, up to 16GB of storage, but lose a bunch of apps, the phone, and some other surprising things. In our opinion, it's both the leap and the downgrade, and therein lies the rub.<br /><br /><p>• Physically, it's almost more of an <b>attention grabber</b> than the iPhone, at about 2/3 the thickness and wearing the signature iPod chrome jacket. Yes, the back is more prone to scratching, but it's oh so shiny. Removing the recessed headphone jack was also a smart move, as you no longer need compatible headphones, or a silly adapter to make it work.</p> <p>• Much of the <b>iPhone experience remains intact</b>: the wonderful multitouch navigation, the supreme Safari browser, the ease with which you can sync to iTunes<a class="tagautolink" title="Posts tagged as itunes" href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/itunes/"></a>, then grab and go without that annoying Eject delay. New minor features like adding a period by double tapping the space bar and bringing up the music HUD by double tapping the Home button are both welcome additions that make using the iPod Touch even easier.</p> • The <b>iTunes WiFi Music Store is thrilling</b> to use<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span>. Not only is it easy as hell to find a song, click its animated icon for a preview and download it, in seconds, to your iPod; it's also impressive how it syncs back to your computer's iTunes library without any weirdness.<br /><br />*No video downloads in iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, no wireless syncing to iTunes, no external speakers, dumping the calender, and no Mail or Notes apps. This falls into the same category as our bitching about the lack of stereo Bluetooth A2DP on the iPhone: would be nice, might happen with a software update.<br /><br />The bottom line, if there is one, is that this will certainly be a great product for people who are unable or unwilling to sign up for AT&T. But spending $399 on the 16GB touch is not better than spending $399 on an 8GB iPhone. There are real reasons why the iPhone is a better iPod than the touch, especially now that both will have equal access to the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store. Choosing the touch over the iPhone is <b>like choosing a fully loaded Toyota Avalon over a Lexus ES</b>.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
