Google Sync: Now with push Gmail support

This is big stuff, and if there's anyone actually paying for MobileMe a year from now, well, you already looked like a fool, so what's the difference? The Google Mobile Blog reports today that Google has added push email support to Google Sync, which previously provided that support for Google...

The 'blame anyone but Apple cadre,' Part 217: AT&T

So AT&T is finally adding MMS support to the iPhone 3G/3GS on September 25, about two months after Apple first announced the feature and other international wireless carriers provided it. Yep, AT&T sucks. And I should know, I've been using this horrible network, first in "EDGE"...

Could Microsoft Office finally be heading to Linux?

Nine years ago , I learned about a skunkworks project Microsoft had handed off to an Israeli software firm that was to have seen a port of Microsoft Office to Linux. The port was seen as a just-in-case solution, but with Linux not ever taking off in any serious way on the desktop, it was dropped, never...

Introducing the Google Chrome OS

Well, it's official. Google will take on Windows, not with some based on Android (which is dumb, and curious, in my opinion), but with yet another OS based on the Chrome browser . Here's the full announcement. The bolded bits are my work, as I think those are the core bits. It's been an exciting...

Ubuntu Says Microsoft's Netbook Claims are True

Chris Kenyon from Ubuntu sponsor Canonical has posted a rebuttal of sorts to Microsoft's netbook market share claims, which it calls "FUD." Most of it is an opinion piece, so let's just jump straight to the relevant bits. It requires a lot of cut and paste, because he intersperses little...

And the first Microsoft iPhone app is .. Windows Live? Hotmail? Office? umm… Not quite

It was a question of “when” and not “if,” but Microsoft has finally released its first and long-awaited iPhone application. In the bad news department, it’s nothing mainstream at all and is, instead, sort of skunkworks research project instead of a major, tier-one application. I guess you can’t have...

Opera Mini 4.2

I’ve often opined that the desktop version of Opera doesn’t make a lot of sense these days, but Opera certainly has tremendous presence in the mobile world. Confusingly, however, Opera offers two mobile browsers, Opera Mobile and Opera Mini. If I understand this correctly, Opera Mobile is their “full...

About today’s Macbook announcements

Apple released evolutionary updates to their MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro notebook computers today. My take? Whoop-de-freaking-do.

Uninstall MobileMe

Thanks to Derek E., who notes that there's a hidden feature of iTunes 8: You can now uninstall the MobileMe control panel, which was a huge complaint from previous iTunes versions. Here's a shot: Obviously, it would be better if this piece of junk was optional, but at least now you can rid your...

MobileMe photo upload finally fixed on Windows

I check almost every single day to see whether it’s finally possible for Windows users to upload photos to MobileMe using a Web browser. It’s never worked right. But as of today, it actually works. To be a bit more clear, it “sort of worked” before in that it would work on only one supported browser...
