Scroogled adverts are horrible, and Microsoft is starting to see that .. or not

Posted on March 4, 2013 | No Comments
Sigh. I just do not get Microsoft sometimes. Most of the time their commercials are ok, and now and again, they are just pointless fluff as their surface commercials. Then their latest efforts, we go to dumb bordering on insulting. {Update: According to TC, they are NOT going to end...

Rockmelt: The Initial Experience … Fail

Posted on November 9, 2010 | No Comments
Rockmelt crashed the first time I launched the browser, which is always a bad way to start with a new program. I opened up the two webmail systems that I use and another tab in the same window for browsing. I sign in to Twitter three times and get the ever spinning circle. The Facebook integration is better, it is fairly robust, meaning I saw status messages.

Posted on November 7, 2010 | No Comments
Sigh… Ok, so here is the basics. Seems that any alarm that is set to repeat will not work correctly after daylight saving change. The fix from apple is to simply erase and recreate the alert. Great. Unless you have yearly repeating events, then you will have to go through...

Posted on October 21, 2009 | No Comments
Oracle has a new iphone app that looks ok. In the promotional animation, a business man is flying to Paris, France to give a presentation. Great. Often, and I can attest to this, you have to use cash for things because your card is not always accepted. So, this application...
