I'm sure this has a lot of Blackberry users freaked out:

Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Blackberry Appeal

Well, I decided I need to start posting again, because if I don't rant somewhere, my head is going to explode.  Oh yeah, I'm no longer writing at Wired Home but you can check out my newest blog:

I've also decided to try a new look on this site.  Let me know what you think.

Does a web proxy service have the right to alter website content for the convenience of users who surf the web on their PDA? That's the question behind the battle brewing between Jason Calacanis of Weblogs Inc. and Greenlight Wireless, creators of the Skweezer Web Service. Skweezer is a proxy service that turns any website into a PDA friendly website............

I've been pretty busy lately so I have posted much. I just wanted to wish everbody a Happy Holidays and a prosperous 2005.

I finally posted my T5 review on Palmtops:

Over the last year, palmOne has added many new features to their PDAs, many of which helped close the gap between Palm and Pocket PC based PDAs. One of our favorite PDAs from palmOne was the Tungsten T3 which sports a 320x480 screen and also supports landscape mode. So what features does palmOne add to enhance the T5? Read more

Yeah, I know.  It's been a while since I've posted.  Throw in  lots of work with nasty dental surgery, things get a bit hectic.  Alright, enough excuses, so keep checking back for more dribble.

Well, OQO finally has a release date.  October 12th is what the company says is the official launch date.  After all the delays lately, I'll believe it when I see it.

Ever had a Windows XP machine that was in permanent reboot mode? Basically just before the computer goes into Windows, it starts over and does this cycle forever. It most cases it will also lock up when you try to go into safe mode. Well after years of replacing the harddrive of computers with this problem, I stumbled on a fix after trial and error.

This fix has worked on several Dell computers running Windows XP:

Boot to your Windows XP disk. When you get the option, go to "R" for "Repair"

You should now be a a dos prompt in the recovery console.

Type: chkdsk then hit enter. This will run checkdisk. If it does not run checkdisk (you will see the % ticker if it does), then run chkdsk /p to force the checkdisk

Now you should be at the dos prompt again. Type fixmbr

It will ask if you're sure, just say yes.

When done remove the XP CD and reboot into safe mode first. Select restart and let it reboot into normal Windows mode. Hopefully it comes up now and now you should be out of permanent reboot mode. Like I said, this has only been tested with Windows XP and Dell Computers, but hasn't failed me yet on about a dozen attempts. Of course, this won't work for everyone but good luck and post a comment letting us know if it worked for you.

A while back, I promised you a review of the Motorola IMfree.  Here ya go:

I have to say, I'm interested in anything that makes my life more mobile and tears me away from my computer. When I heard that Motorola has created a device that would allow me to IM (Instant Message) my friends from anywhere in the house, I was intrigued. Sure, you could use a PDA and get the same results, but what is unique about the IMfree is a complete package that includes a 900 MHz base station. Let's start by talking about why you would want Mobile IM. [more]

Woo Hoo! The Super Smartphone has arrived.

The media sure has become Anti-Google lately. MSNBC has a report that "insiders" are concerned about Google's upcoming IPO. Of course, MSNBC gives you no hints who the two insiders are. Could be janitors for all we know.

AOL has acquired Mailblocks email service. As a long time Mailblocks user, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the service gets faster than it's been over the last year.[via Daily Times]

I'm listening to oldies on the radio right now, and just don't understand how Nancy Sinatra didn't become bigger than her dad. Come on, with lyrics like this, how could you go wrong?

You keep lying, when you oughta be truthin'
and you keep losin' when you oughta not bet.
You keep samin' when you oughta be changin'.
Now what's right is right, but you ain't been right yet.

I guess proper english wasn't in demand back then. The funny thing is Hank William's cover of the same song make Nancy's lyrics look less stupid.

You keep lying when you oughta be true then
And you keep loosin' when you ought enough bad
Now you keep a samin' when you oughta be changin'
Now what's right is right and honey you ain't been right yet
These boots are made for walkin'...

His lyrics don't even make sense. In case you couldn't tell, I'm kinda bored today.
