Kam VedBrat wants to know what we think of the UI in Windows Vista Beta 1.
I have mixed feelings about it. Most of what I think about it is summed up here. This is one of the larger internet forums around and is full of smart people.
I think you’d do yourself some good to read and even comment in that thread, Kam.
I decided I’m going to keep track of all the bone headed moves that the RIAA and MPAA make. To start off this grand journey let’s take a look at this.
So some people set some footage they took in a video game to some music for the enjoyment of their friends. The RIAA sees their music being used and BAM IT’S TIME TO SUE!!!!11!111one
As Mike at Techdirt notes, this sort of usage of the RIAAs product is going to do nothing but help promote music sales. But then again the RIAA has never been any good at understanding anything that falls out of the purview of their old business models.
Gizmodo links to a working MiniSD WiFi card. This is amazing. In case you’ve never seen a MiniSD card before, one card is slightly bigger than your thumbnail.
My Audiovox SMT5600 has a MiniSD slot. I dont know how useful WiFi would be for it since there’s only one slot and taking out my 512MB card to put the WiFi card in would leave me with less than 20MB of on-board flash memory. Awesome, nonetheless.
Hilarious. It’s an overview of WWII written as if it was an RTS game and you’re reading the in-game chat.
Scoble points out weather.msn.com. I really like this. I’m so tired of sites like weather.com that are so big it takes like 30 seconds to load the page and are overloaded with gaudy advertisements.
This is the future of the web, people. Simple, attractive, small.
Quite a stunning example of water on Mars.
I’ve been so busy with work-related stuff I haven’t had time to post much for awhile. I’ll do a little catch-up this evening.
First off, the Start.com beta still doesn’t work correctly in Firefox. This despite the fact that they just updated it.
Also, it’s going to be hard to get some of us to really test it out without OPML import capabilities.
Hmm, it’s been quite a while since I posted something, I’ll try to rectify that today…
About a month or so ago I went ahead and got the Audiovox SMT 5600 from Cingular. I won’t do a full-fledged review of the phone because there are plenty of them out there. I’ll just share a few of the things I do with the phone.
To tell you the truth, I’ve yet to find any real negatives to this phone….
Au contraire, mon ami, the rocket blew up.
