    iPhone syndrome

    Fun piece of information, there is no fixed limit on the amount of exchange accounts that an iPhone or iOS device supports.

    The obligatory Blackberry thread

    Latest insanity; we have a group mailbox with a calendar in exchange that we all schedule our time out of the office on. Theory is we need to keep office coverage above a minimum. Can I monitor two exchange calendars on the blackberry? Of course not, why would I ever need more than one...

    iPhone syndrome

    You can't get a group of people to actually like any one thing, no win situation. Thing is do they have actual reasons why? Something like my abandoning the blackberry because it has a tiny hard to see screen with a large physical keyboard that isn't easy to type on, no touch screen so you are...

    iPhone syndrome

    That seems to be the major complaint on K-9, it is a little too powerful and configurable. But if you power through it you can make it do pretty much exactly what you want. Example is that now I have a notification LED again I can make that show different colors per account so I know what I can...

    Batteries are hugely expensive, I'd pass. But a camp stove for cooking and a propane heater, sure.

    Yes, not being able to switch default applications was near top of my list for going android.

    iPhone syndrome

    Hmm, people in my company are getting itunes pushed to their corporate PC via landesk. Only reason I can come up with is they are prepping a move to iphone. I wouldn't care if it is a 3gs at this point, just take the blackberry away.

    I didn't think about pushing them out to the device from the web page, good tip. I guess my only complaint then is the backup my data, app data thing appears to do nothing at all for non google apps.

    New phone time

    Android really needs to get up with the backup/restore thing. I think I just spent ten minutes finding and installing apps on the new phone. Thankfully some apps have a settings backup and restore but it's going to be days before things are back the way I had them on the new phone.

    That regarding the lack of warranty from Samsung. Apple doesn't care where you got it or if you we're the original purchaser, I have swapped iphones on warranty that I bought from eBay.

    New phone time

    That does indeed suck. I ordered an international note 2 and I am considering square trade for it. Apparently the international versions imported are considered to have no warranty at all. It's a $90 plan and doesn't cover accidents, seems I can't get the accidental damage rider for some reason...

    Comparing my phone to the videos of the note 2 and s3 I can see huge speed differences, looking ahead to that. Sometimes the lag is a bit jarring but yeah, it does all the things.

    Andy Ihnatko talked about waze on one of his podcasts and probably has a column or three on it somewhere, forget what paper he writes for. He rather liked it.

    Policy as what's appropriate in cell phone use? I think we have a phone policy but nothing specific for cell, I think if it were necessary we would have it. Our HR and safety departments are very through and have tons of stuff out there.

    SSDs - State of the Product?

    I'm rather of the opinion going for Intel or Samsung as well though my sample size is really small with only three G2 intel drives and now a 820 drive. Software sweet for each gets things done but the arconis that is customized for intel to get the right partition offset etc is a nice touch...

    Best movie you've seen

    That's a good way to put it, I was entertained for something like two months of TV watching. I'd rate it much higher than most of the dreck that's on TV now.

    Gigantic passive cooler.

    I think the best one I have seen is a guy that did a liquid cooling setup, but there was no radiator. Instead he buried a 55gal drum outside. Underground even in summer is pretty cool.

    I didn't realize it until now but google voice doesn't support short codes. Some work but it seems they have to work on one at a time or with affiliates to get them working. Anyway lifelock doesn't work.

    Best movie you've seen

    Just finished Lost, middle seasons were pretty interesting but the end of the last season was a solid meh. A good experience if you never saw it but not a keeper, I'll be boxing it up and putting it back up on ebay. Jaws in bluray was cleaned up very nicely, they treated this classic well...

    iPhone syndrome

    I don't know what changes with the music app so much but they mess it up pretty much every major release, at least they did for ios 4 and 5. Sometimes things like this or sometimes things like the lock screen music controls.

    This is the thread for the discussion of interesting apps.

    Right on Merc, I ran into a infinite folder loop situation in syncing a Motörhead folder. Valid directory name on HFS, not so much on whatever android uses. Would not copy at all, I had to rename the folder. I corrected that before trying doubletwist so I don't know how it would handle that.

    Is this something special for an item you are getting? Their help pages mention UPS and FedEx still. I admit I haven't used them for a couple years though.

    No doubt their player handles their store better. You can tell it to only use wifi right? Straight Talk takes issue with streaming media in their contract so I make the effort to fly way under the radar.

    Well I gave it a try and it has the ability to use SD card for music storage and the sync even recognized the music I already had on the card and avoided doing a 100% sync, that was a nice touch. Not sure yet where the playlists go because I can't find them on the phones storage anywhere but...
