Tech It Like A Man!

I read about this just now and I must say that I am totally impressed. Eye-Fi has just given the solution to me having to take pictures, take out my memory card, wait for it to load up, open the folders, and figure out which pictures I want to upload. The 2 GB card allows you to directly load up your pictures without having to remove the card from the device. Almost too good to be true. There is a video on the site so you see just how it works. Suggested retail? a bit under $100. You do get unlimited uploading at no additional charge, though.

I am forever frustrated by the way one must search through the internet. Ask has it close to right, but where can I just go to search the way that I think? My buddy Marisa just gave me a clue as to how I can do that.

The hakia Search Engine is still in beta phase, but prides itself on you being able to search the way you think and talk. For instance, if you really want to ask a question, go right ahead. The results may surprise you.

I am going to go play with it a bit more myself. I am rather pleased with them and am going to take full advantage of their Firefox extension.

Now that Apple iPhones have been hacked, Apple has decided to bring in its new line of defense. Solution: lock the phones back up and render those that have been tampered with useless. I have to wonder how long this new lock will work, though. I have to give credit where credit is due. Those hackers are pretty adamant about getting their way. I have a feeling that the phones will be unlocked again and the new iPhone that comes out will have the capability to handle more than one carrier. It’s got to happen eventually, though. Too many people covet the iPhone capability.

I am so in need of something like this. I have such issues with wanting to be more organized and trying to find the right solution for it. I was looking into the ProWorkflow organizer which is $15 per month for their basic service. It has everything one would need to make sure they stay on task. You are able to input your jobs, when they are due, what they entail…and you are able to see how long you have been working on different tasks. If there is more than just yourself working, you are able to have a multiuser account.

For ten dollars more per month you can add invoicing for clients, for another ten quotes. They give you 100mb of memory to run your business from to start with. Upgrades are also available for varied fees. The screenshot pretty much says it all. You can see down the left hand side all the ways to categorize your work. The program is easy to read, easy to use, and you can get a free trial to make sure that I am right . Check it out and let me know what you think. I will be keeping an eye on this product to see if they come out with one that I can keep locally on my computer and work with for a one time fee.

Not all hackers, but some…

They challenge companies to do better than mediocre. They challenge technology to go to new heights. Not necessarily all for security, but just to improve the quality of the products we use every day. For example, this whole issue with iPhone and hackers. There is such an uproar about unlocked phones, that I can just imagine the next step is to have a double sim car reader, as one commenter suggested. There could even be a phone that has a built in simlock so you can just add your card in and use it no matter who your provider is. In the long run, I think it will benefit all the major players to get in on some form of upgrade like that.
