March 2, 201016 yr comment_331075 IANAL, but a quick scan of this suggests to me that it is now officially ON, girlfriend, between Apple/iPhone OS and Google/Android. Apple vs HTC Heh, I love that the ad I get from Google ads is for the Nexus One. Back to reading... I saw a couple tweets about it from Topolsky, first chance I've had to read it. **BRENT** Report
March 2, 201016 yr Author comment_331103 Who are the asshats handing out patents when you can patent "unlocking a device by performing gestures on an unlocking image"? How fracking generic can you get. Someone should patent the extraction buggers by picking ones nose. Report

Someone should patent the extraction buggers by picking ones nose. Same folks who handed out patent for a combover. http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=4,022,227.PN.&OS=PN/4,022,227&RS=PN/4,022,227 Report
March 2, 201016 yr comment_331136 The patent system is a mess. That's why everyone in the tech arena now just files for everything and then uses their respective ludicrous patent portfolios as shields or (as in this case) clubs against each other. Report

March 6, 201016 yr comment_332518 I'm enjoying Hipstamatic, a very fun camera app for those of us old enough to be nostalgic for bad lenses and worse film. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IacLpVeOs9c&NR=1 (Disappointed that all the simulated flashes are electronic, though. Looking at the pictures I could almost smell the sizzle of a just-fired Magicube.) Report

March 16, 201016 yr comment_335482 I like Simplify Media but it doesn't appear that those I have shared with have been using it as much or maybe it's just me. I received an email from Rhapsody that they will be adding a feature allowing you to take music with you without need for a 3G or wifi connection to listen. They are submitting soon to Apple. Hopefully, it will be approved. Report
March 17, 201016 yr comment_335799 I don't know what all the features of Simplify Media was/are, but it sounds like a few of you liked it. I've been using DOTTUNES and I can listen to my entire iTunes library from anywhere with a 3G or Wifi connection with my iPhone or Macbook. You should check it out. The only problem is that it doesn't let you share videos or photos, just your music playlists. You can give people a user name and PW, or set up a guest account, and you can set which playlists certain people have access to. It uses your home internet bandwidth to serve the music, and people can access it by trying to visit your external IP address from the web. If you don't want to have to worry about remembering and logging into your external IP address and want an easy to remember domain name, then you can get someone like no-ip.com to issue you a domain name that links to your home IP address. You also can run an app that no-ip.com supplies on the home computer that updates your external IP with no-ip.com if it changes, so you can still get into your home computer. Report
