re: I want a Chameleon. Why? Because they are Awesome!

cstanton — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 16:52:07 GMT

Yeah, they're great looking but they come with a BUNCH of responsibility. I have a friend that's a herpetologist and he is pretty against people owning chameleons as their first reptile pets. It really takes hardly anything to stress a chameleon out. They're really awesome looking little creatures but they're superhigh maintenance.

I remember when "Paint" was the only graphics editor around. In fact, we didn't even call them graphics back then. It is nice to see how it has evolved.

re: Google Buzz Criticized for Exposing your Contacts to the Public

Yeah, I don't think it's a big deal, but some people view their e-mail accounts more personally than their social media accounts. People have all kinds of accounts e-mailing them regularly and they may e-mail them back quite frequently, that doesn't mean they necessarily want to be friends on a social media site. Just turn it off though, seriously.

re: MailTones for iPhone – get custom email notifications

DMI — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 18:56:33 GMT

That's always bugged me about my iPod touch's mail program because on a mac computer you can add different mail notifications and I made mine an mp3 of Worf saying "Captain, Incoming Message." It'd be nice to have more options, but I wish it would just let me add whatever sound I wanted.

The free one gets my vote. Very ingenious!

re: Apple iPad – What it has and what it doesn't

Raikus — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 22:28:29 GMT

The more I think about the iPad the more I'm disappointed with it. To think they didn't fix the multitasking problem just makes me mad. I agree about the camera -- they put one on the frakking Nano but don't put one on the iPad?! There are going to be a lot of people who won't use the iPad as an eReader too because of the backlit LCD screen.

Still, the huge winner is the starting price. That will make this a success. Even with its limited storage capacity of 16GB (which is what? Like three 720p HD movies?) the $499 price puts it firmly in the middle of tablets that are currently on the market. The Archos 9 is $550 and the Camangi WebStation is $399. Both aren't nearly as fast or capable as the iPad and it will be an easy decision for anyone looking to buy a large tablet MID.

re: Netflix Signs Agreement to Delay New Releases – More Studios are sure to follow

I'm sorry to hear about this. I only use Netflix. I might have to start looking around at other options.

It sounds just like you! Or one of your cats walking up and down a piano.

LOL really!? that's pretty funny. I like it.

re: PHProxy – View Restricted Sites on your Companies Network

cstanton — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 16:55:21 GMT

yeah, they get blocked pretty quickly, but here's a few that still seem to work in a lot of places, my school and the State FDOE computers at least:

www.hidemyass.com

www.mathtunnel.com

www.proxyex.com

www.proxuhussle.com

www.redproxy.com

www.proxify.com

This is really neat though! you could just carry around a flash drive with those files. I was thinking that its probably more likely you get fired for downloading unapproved material, but you could just put it on a flash drive and upload it straight from there. that's pretty cool and useful!

Here is more on LifeLock Command Center www.idtheftquiz.org/.../lifelock-command-center-personal-review

I am grateful for this product and another advanced tools to fight back against privacy invasion and identity theft. I only wish I could get some of the profit Experian makes from selling my personal information.

re: N.O.V.A iPhone Game Halo Like and a Lot of Fun!

kurt — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 17:30:10 GMT

OK I downloaded N.O.V.A. on two iPhones and played my son on Monday night. He of course wiped the alien floor with me, but it was really FUN!!! Great game, totally worth it, simple, easy to use control, visually fantastic. I can't believe a game of this type works so well on a phone!

re: Turn Your iPhone into the King of All Remotes

kurt — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 22:32:47 GMT

Will, but think about it. Could you go anywhere and use it to control whatever remote devices are around you? For example could you go into your friend house and turn his tv up from your phone, etc...?

re: PunchClock – Keeps track of Projects and Time Spent

kurt — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 15:54:29 GMT

If you had 3 or more project is looks like it would be very convenient. It nice to be able to print an accounting of time as well. You could even have your office use it if you needed to track what they were working on from a time perspective.
