Re: 5 Must-Have iPhone Apps for Wine Lovers

xxdesmus — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:37:20 -0000

I'll put in another vote for: Wine Ph.D. ...even if the wine is missing from the dB just add it manually (really not that tough), and they will email you once it's been added to the dB (usually within a few days at most).

Wine Ph.D. is not perfect, but it's the best wine app I've used (and I've tried almost all of them).

...and yet it still doesn't actually make any noticeable difference.

You do you continue to spread this BS myth about changing the # of processors in MSCONFIG?

It doesn't do a darn thing.

Re: iPhone and Windows 7 Don’t Play Nice, No Fix in Sight

xxdesmus — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 09:20:56 -0000

Way to go for the sensationalist headlines. Wow.

Been using Windows 7 and my iPhone for over a year now. NOT A SINGLE PROBLEM TO DATE.

If you'd like me to repeat that one: Windows 7 and the iPhone PLAY NICE just fine. ...back your regular scheduled alarmist headlines.

Re: New CNN.com Goes Live: What Do You Think?

I think it looks really cheap. It looks like it's a "select a design" from a pre-packaged set of themes in Dreamweaver.

It looks far less authoritative in my opinion.

Re: Apple Fires Back at Windows 7 in New Ads

xxdesmus — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 08:44:26 -0000

Same Apple bull****, different day. How about you focus on making a decent operating system, and spend a little less time with these pointless ads. It's pretty pathetic when you continue to make advertisement after advertisement trashing the competition (mostly with lies I might add) without actually telling consumers WHY they should buy your overpriced computers instead. Grow up. Get over yourself, and how about you spend some of that money on R&D instead.

Re: Dvorak joins the Win7 basher brigade

xxdesmus — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 08:14:28 -0000

Dvorak is just an arrogant idiot who likes to create soundbites. He's upset that Microsoft hasn't personally called in the past 4 years? Who gives a damn? Maybe you're just not that important anymore. Get over yourself.

So idiotic, the damn EU can't make up their minds already. What a joke.

Re: Google Wave crashes on beach of overhype

I couldn't agree more. This will end up being YAFGI -- Yet Another Failed Google Initiative.

I like email. It lets me decide who is important when I should read their emails. I don't want to see them typing in real time. If I want an instant reply I'll IM the person. The only possible use I see for Google Wave is collaborative document creation -- like for school or work. That's it. That being said, better options exist already for collaboration.

Re: Verdict: AT&T Survives iPhone MMS Rollout

xxdesmus — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 17:56:34 -0000

haven't been able to receive an MMS message successfully -- it comes across as some garbled text that looks like code from a HTML webpage. I can send MMS just fine though.

Re: Courier: Microsoft Has an Apple Tablet Rival, And It Looks Impressive

xxdesmus — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 22:40:32 -0000

I never said it was *likely* they'd keep it under $400. :P It's just wishful thinking on my part. Anything over $400 will make it a hard sell in my opinion.

Re: Courier: Microsoft Has an Apple Tablet Rival, And It Looks Impressive

xxdesmus — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 22:16:31 -0000

I'd buy one in a second if they can keep the price under $400. This thing looks incredible.

Re: Push Gmail Comes to iPhone and Other Mobiles

xxdesmus — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:21:03 -0000

I went back to NuevaSync.com for now -- I'll wait a few weeks for Google to get their act together on this.

Re: Push Gmail Comes to iPhone and Other Mobiles

xxdesmus — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 15:45:20 -0000

I just switched back to NuevaSync for the time being while the rush dies down and Google gets their act together. I'm aware that Google Sync is free, but I can still complain when a service backed by such a large company performs so terribly.

I'm still very, very confused.

Re: Push Gmail Comes to iPhone and Other Mobiles

xxdesmus — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:52:33 -0000

completely unscientific testing: NuevaSync.com was pushing my Gmail in 5 seconds or less. Google Sync is pushing my Gmail in 40 seconds (on average).

Re: Push Gmail Comes to iPhone and Other Mobiles

xxdesmus — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:32:20 -0000

Less than impressed. Having tons of issues with Google Sync's push Gmail. I have 3 emails sitting in my inbox and the iPhone won't see them. Not a great first impression.

How is driver support? Will wifi on my Dell XPS M1530 even work? If wifi isn't supported then this hack is kind of pointless right now.

Why thank you for the nice compliment! :)

I haven't quite decided yet for sure. I don't exactly pay a whole lot for my webspace and/or domains anyway. We'll see.

Re: My Reading List

Thank you for the helpful suggestions! I do plan to work my way down to 1984 and Animal Farm (thank you for reminding me...I had meant to add that to my list).

As for the design/colours, I take no credit. The wonderful WordPress theme can be found at: http://designdisease.com/portfolio/fervens-theme/

Re: Hello Gmail Tasks, Bye Bye Remember The Milk

xxdesmus — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 22:49:21 -0000

For what it's worth I use the Gmail tasks for little stupid lists that I don't really want to clutter my RTM list with. For example, when I'm packing for a trip I use Gmail's tasks for that list because I don't want to make a mess of my RTM list.

Hopefully Google makes some improvements to Gmail tasks soon!
