In the UK, Conservative MP (Member of Parliament) Dominic Raab has complained that he's getting too much email from from a campaigning website called 38 Degrees and has asked them to remove his email address from the their mailing system. The 38 Degrees site didn't actually publish his email address, but rather passed on campaign email to it. As a lawyer, he's
Your going to love what I have lined up for you here on Show 600 putting it together was as fun as the very first one. I spend 30 minutes looking back. Plus I jam a full load of a tech at you in the remaining time. Some remarkable stats to share. New Sponsor in the show today, business owners
A little over a year ago I discovered the Vidabox Wireless Media Center Keyboard. I bought it the day I found out about it. Prior to this I had been using a standard Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse and not really enjoying the experience. It was a full size keyboard and mouse which made it clunky in my living room.
Google decided last week to give up on Wave as a separate application and integrate some of it into other applications. According to the official Google Blog, Wave was just not attracting enough users to make it viable to continue. A lot has been written on its demise and why it wasn't successful. Although it wasn't successful I don't think
I canceled, well, actually, "suspended" my DirecTV account after the season finales of Lost and 24. But, as many of you know, from my previous post about the NFL and Sunday Ticket, I was hoping to stay gone permanently. I have had no problem watching the few shows that I actually do watch online. And, with a media center PC
There are a lot of mapping sites out there. Mapquest was probably the king, but I think it's safe to assume Google has taken over the mantel. Is that a good thing? I thought so, since I, like many others, am living in the Google-verse these days. And, consolidating my mapping needs into that simplifies my life a little bit

Today’s smartphones are amazing devices and can do some pretty cool things. Some of the apps can be quite remarkable, but do they offer real-world functionality? Yesterday was another 104 degree day. Get used to it – there are days like this every year. I was in my bedroom yesterday afternoon and suddenly the lights went out. To spare you
This week's unofficial style and design award goes to Native Union and their beautiful Moshi Moshi range of handsets for mobile phones, USB VoIP and Bluetooth. There's four in the range, the first three created by designer David Turpin and the last by Michael Young. They're a stylish mix of retro and modern and I think they're reasonably priced for a well-designed
The Microlink FR160, from Eton, may be a niche product, but it's indispensable in the right situations. Which situations would that be? There are two big ones that spring to mind. One is if you live in an area where power outages are common. Two is if you are heading out into the wilderness where there is no reliable cellular
Palm is definitely the uber-underdog in the battle of the smartphones with RIM, Apple and Android battling it out for supremacy. Palm has been struggling for mindshare but with its acquisition of HP last month ago, it's looking stronger ;-) The Palm Pre Plus was launched in the UK on O2 back in May. I have to confess that I already
Now that about a week has passed since we had our broadband scare here in Hawaii when a Fiber Cable between two islands was cut, it got me to thinking about all the things we are missing out in here in the land of Paradise.
