Seems Verizon has released 2.2 for the DROID X. Took a whole 15 minutes to make the update. Now to see if it makes a difference other than having to dance around a new VZ Navigator icon in my apps list…
So far I love the Droid X. The screen is huge, bright and crisp. Coming off Windows Mobile phones “responsive” simply hasn’t been in my lexicon where smart phones are concerned but the Droid X is very fast and highly responsive. It isn’t quite as intuitive as the iPhone but it also doesn’t lag by [...]
After the Missus and the Mother both received their iPhones in 3 days my Droid X finally showed up date after 2 weeks. It wasn’t suppose to even ship until next Monday so I’m good with it showing up today!
If it weren’t for the fact that I really hate repeating myself every 30 days for years the Comcast Business up-sell calls I receive could be quite entertaining. Yet again today they call and tried to sell me telephone service since I have their business internet and cable television services feeding the employee break room. [...]
We seem to have a problem with the ongoing gulf clean up.. they can’t find the oil or at least not nearly as much as they should be finding. Now that the greatest eco disaster of all time is failing to marterialize there is scrambling to explain why. One of the more interesting theories got [...]
Adobe makes some great products but to say they lack customer service and treat their customers poorly is an understatement. Case in point. I have purchased 8 copies of Adobe Acrobat Standard for my user. But when my desktop tech went to install an unused copy for someone today it wouldn’t activate, said it was [...]
I know I mostly post about politics, motorcycles and firearms but the part of my life that pays for those things I’m a technology guy. It’s not too often I do much code work with other things being more entertaining but of late a friend brought the project FullCalendar to my attention as he integrated [...]
Years ago I started recommending Avast anti-virus for non-business home users. Today Avast is still a good product which I still highly recommend. But an relative new kid on the block, or more accurately new product, has taken over my most recommended free anti-virus, Panda Security’s Cloud Antivirus…. Panda Security is by no means a [...]
The Daily Mail’s David Rose has a nice article today, The mini ice age starts here. Why must any current event, especially historically proven cyclic events, be assumed the new status quo? Well, besides that there’s money to be made in the next-big-emergency… It’s really to bad, too, as I was looking forward to global [...]
I have an embarrassing admission to make: Windows 7 (Enterprise) isn’t terrible. Having gone from Windows XP to 7 on my laptop and thus avoiding Vista I missed most of the horror of Microsoft’s ME2. Of course this doesn’t mean I’ll be booting to Windows 7 any more often than I have in the past [...]
