This Slashdot post claims the tablet reading experience is inferior. The logic is kind of strange – a true tablet (not the old Kindle) offers alternatives and we are too easily distracted to concentrate on the book. The limitations of human nature back to haunt us again.
NY Times has an interesting report on ISP throttling of your web access. “In the United States, throttling was detected in 23 percent of tests on telecom and cable-television broadband networks …”
Great YouTube explaining how to get achieve the photographic potential of your phone (the best camera you have with you).
I have a lot of music. I cannot stop buying it now that it is as easy as pushing a button and you do not have to hand anyone money or your credit card. My wife says that the bills come to her – hmm.
Anyway, music and photos are starting to fill up the hard drive on my all in one Mac (iMac). I have wanted to move my music to a different drive. My office machine is the old style machine that allows you to install more drives. Moving music to this location made sense, but I could not figure out for sure how to do it. I kind of knew, but the uncertainty of playing with thousands of dollars of stuff I might lose was a bit of a concern. I thought iCloud might provide a safety net, but I was not sure.
Anyway, this MacWorld article and this article provides instructions. Now, am I brave enough?
Box is allowing Android users to obtain 50 gigabytes of online storage (I think the offer if good for a month). If this is the same deal offered earlier, you can then make use of this space from other devices. I cannot verify this second contention, but free is free so you might as well give it a try if you have an android phone.
Yes, I realize there are other android devices .
MacWorld reports that the White House (must be a person what does it mean when it is a building) has proposed an online privacy plan and has support from major providers (e.g., Google). The details are contained in a 62 page document – I am not in the mood for lawyer speak so I will look for other analyses.
