Now *that’s* a computer

That Lenovo has been on a roll lately is an understatement of epic proportions, but their latest computer, the ThinkPad W Series mobile workstation is … I mean, wow. Yeah, it’s a big boy. It’s got a 17-inch screen and a power adapter that would have a hard time fitting in the back of my VW. But it’s...

Small but important Live Mesh update

Earlier this month, Microsoft made some changes to Live Mesh , including very low level support for P2P (peer to peer) folder sharing. The problem was (at the time) that you couldn’t configure this explicitly in the UI. So if you wanted to exclude the Live Desktop from a folder share (and not exceed...

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...

You know MobileMe is a piece of junk when ... (Updated)

This one reads like a Jeff Foxworthy (of "you know you're a redneck when..." fame) joke. As in, you know MobileMe is a piece of @#$% when even Walter Mossberg, the world's most prominent support of Apple products, can't find anything good to say about it . I look back, smiling,...

MobileMe: Push vs. Sync

I've gotten a ton of email about Apple substantially backing down from its initial claims about MobileMe's capabilities. (And not to be a jerk about it, I warned you: Unlike many people, I've used .Mac for years, and it was always a piece of @#$%. Why would MobileMe be much better?) What...

MobileMe launch delayed ... Where's the outrage?

Apple shut down its .Mac service yesterday to launch MobileMe and then ... ran into problems. As of today, MobileMe is still not available, and of course .Mac is down as well . So I have to wonder. Where's Ina Fried's scathing blog attack on Apple about this? After all, she went after Microsoft...

Windows SideShow for Windows Mobile Developer Preview, and an idea for actually using SideShow

This this is interesting. Since fairly early in the Windows Vista beta, Microsoft has been touting a Vista feature called Windows SideShow, but the required hardware has never really appeared in any mass market product, though the odd laptop with an external SideShow display or Sideshow-based remote...

Apple MobileMe ... PC vs. Mac

Apple’s MobileMe isn’t just a warmed over PC- and iPhone-compatible version of .Mac. It’s important for two reasons: Apple is jumping headfirst into the cloud computing market. (And confounding pundits who predicted they’d partner with Google.) Apple is providing a consumer-friendly Exchange-like service...
