• PalmOS6 to Focus on PDA Functions

    Posted on January 27, 2004

    Russell Beattie has an interesting post in his blog about PalmSource focusing PalmOS6 on PDA functions. I don’t think I could possibly agree with Russell any more than I do. I spent a decent amount of time thinking about it too, cause I do think that a limited function laptop... [Read More]

  • PDAs/Smartphones and Navigation

    Posted on January 27, 2004

    Elle posted a pointer to some information about smartphone and handheld trends in Europe. The information mentions the role of navigation packages, particularly GPS based services, in the increased adoption of devices. I would certainly like to get my hands on a device or two with geolocation capabilities. I think... [Read More]

  • PHLAK Site

    Posted on January 27, 2004

    A friend was downloading the PHLAK ISOs the other day, so I decided to take a look over there today. I haven’t downloaded the CD images themselves, but I probably will. I have an HP that just refuses to run Linux in a stable manner. Maybe running most of it... [Read More]

  • Anonymous Blogging

    Posted on January 27, 2004

    At the Trusted Computing class this past weekend Seth mentioned that he was engaged in some online sparring with someone who had a blog on Invisiblog. In particular he was talking about the postings by someone calling themselves Unlimited Freedom, which do make for interesting reading. I completely disagree with... [Read More]

    According to a post in the Blogger Developers Blog Blogger now offers the Atom API and feeds. I haven’t yet tried them out, but you can bet that I’ll be working with them before the end of the day. The announcement includes a link to AtomEnabled.org, a site with what... [Read More]

  • PDA Desktop Conversion Cradle

    Posted on January 26, 2004

    There’s an article over at MobileWhack about a desktop cradle called the Blue Dock. It allows a PDA to be used like a full desktop system, with keyboard, monitor, and network connection. Still not available for quite some time, but it does work somewhat towards an idea that Mike Rohde... [Read More]

  • Palm Trusts in Smartphones

    Posted on January 26, 2004

    There’s an article at TheFeature about PalmOne deciding that smartphones are going to be way bigger than PDAs in the future. It says that PalmOne is going to be shifting attention away from PDAs cause they see sales being relatively flat in that area. I can certainly agree there, it... [Read More]

  • Trusted Computing

    Posted on January 25, 2004

    I went to Seth Schoen’s class on trusted computing at the Freedom Technology Center yesterday. The class itself was GREAT! Trusted computing is an area that I really wanted to learn about, but never had the time for. This was a chance to get a whole boatload of info in... [Read More]

  • Darl McBride

    Posted on January 25, 2004

    While joking in the IRC channel at pilot-link setuid pointed me to an analysis of Darl McBride’s behavior. It is a pretty funny read on its own, but what struck me after reading even a few of the quotes from Darl is that he doesn’t understand that everyone benefits from... [Read More]

  • MarketingProfs.com

    Posted on January 24, 2004

    I ended up at an article about content management predictions for 2004. I really don’t have a strong feeling about that article at all, but the overall site, MarketingProfs.com, seems like a great resource for the independent businessperson in general. I’ve only skimmed a few of the articles so far,... [Read More]
