Windows Phone 7 Debuts Tomorrow

Tomorrow the first Windows Phone 7 devices will hit the US market on AT&T and T-Mobile.  And I am very curious to see the reception.  Will there be lines?  Will there be shortages of one or more of the devices?  What will the general public think of it? Windows Phone 7 ads blanketed today's football coverage.  They were running a

2010 Podcast Awards Nominations Open

The 2010 Podcast Award Nominations are open and the audiences are off to the races. This is always a time for me to see what kind of engagement shows have with their audiences.

Sharing a Keyboard and Mouse with Multiple Macs

If you are looking for a program that will allow you to share one keyboard and mouse with multiple Macs, I think I've found the program for you. How do you share a keyboard and mouse with multiple computers. What program do you use and do you like it?

Sharing Your Google Reader Finds

While Google Buzz made quite a, ah...sensation, when it debuted, it seems to have become rather overshadowed now.  Other than the news this week of the settlement they have reached there's been no real, well, buzz around it.  But strangely I have almost four times as many followers on there as I do on Twitter, and it goes up daily.

Star Wars Augmented Reality

I'm sure that this will be all over the Interweb very shortly, if it isn't already.  Absolutely fantastic and really shows off the possibilities of augmented reality. Apparently it's test footage from an upcoming game called Star Wars Arcade: Falcon Gunner.  I'd almost buy an iPod Touch just for this. Update: I've been thinking about this overnight and actually, while

Sophos Offers Free Anti-Virus for Macs

There's no doubt that Apple Macs and Linux PCs are far less likely to suffer from virus infections or malware when compared to their Windows cousins, but there's also no doubt that newer technologies such as cross-platform scripting can lead to vulnerabilities across the board.  Besides no-one wants to be blamed for passing on a virus infection as payload in

Google Acted Illegally in UK

As a result of this, Google will be required to sign an undertaking to take steps to ensure that breaches of the Act don't re-occur.  Google will then be audited in nine month's time to
