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...

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...

As expected, OLPC embraces Windows

No surprise here , unless you actually believed people don't "want" Windows: Microsoft and the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) initiative announced Thursday that the Windows operating system would soon be available on the so-called XO, also known as the "$100 laptop." In interviews...

Eee PC to adopt special low-end version of XP

This one is interesting. In an otherwise unrevealing review of what it's like to run Windows XP on the low-end Asus Eee PC (verdict: Better than expected), APC offers up this interesting bit of info: Asus is prepping a special edition Eee PC that will be preloaded with a cut-down version of XP which...
