How to sync an iPhone with two (or more) Computers

Posted on October 31, 2008 by Robin

Reply

To get the ipod able to sync to multiple computers basically you find the an itunes ID which the PC you’re allready syncing to has, and then rewrite the ID on the second computer. The only thing is that if you then sync the same type of data from both PCs you’ll have that data on both machines. This could mean pretty huge music as both libraries are combined.

EstDomains kicked by ICANN

Posted on October 31, 2008 by Robin

Reply

As the president of EstDomains has been convicted of fraud, money laundering and document forgery, as well as apparently being notorious for registering domain names used for phishing, spam and other internet scams, ICANN has said enough is enough and has kicked them out. They are now looking for someone to take over the 281,000 dubious domain names.

Attractive people and their children

Posted on October 29, 2008 by Robin

Reply

An earlier study in 2006 showed that attractive parents are 36% more likely to have daughters, and that the daughters become more attractive

That study has been validated again recently, but now with the added caveat that whilst it seems that the attractiveness is hereditiary for women and not for men: ie. attractive couples have more children of which the daughters will likely be attractive and the sons likely will not.

And now: the F/A-18 Hornets

Posted on October 28, 2008 by Robin

Yup, the USA military is definitely past it’s prime – first the grounding of the entire F-15 fleet, then the ongoing A-10 grounding, the ancient tankers which have no replacement coming and now the F/A-18s are being grounded and inspected for structural faults found in many earlier models around the aerolon hinges.
These kind of structural faults indicate one thing: ancient machinery.

DHS turns 2/3rd of US Population into citizens without rights

By declaring anything 100 miles from a border a ‘constitution-free zone’, where the Dept of Homeland Security (aka SS or Gestapo) can stop, seize and search you, demanding papers (Auschweiss) with no reason or cause.

Of course, the happy jackbooted goons are taking advantage of this, using their powers to detain at random will.

ACCESS Linux Platform

ALP 3.0 is out. This is the successor the Palm OS / Garnet and would have been really really really exciting. If it had happened around 3 years ago.
Very curious if Palm is going to license this for their new phones and get rid of Windows Mobile (which is total crap).
Somehow I don’t think it’ll compare well to the iphone OS though, allthough it’ll probably offer better Outlook synchronisation and security.

The Inclusive 4GB SD Card Workaround Solution for Wii!

Posted on October 24, 2008 by Robin

Reply

Nintendo says the SD card size limit is 2GB. Basically what it comes down to, is if you ensure there’s always less than 1.99GB of free space on an SD card, it doesn’t seem to matter what size the SD card is. So you fill up the space with crap, and when your SD card fills up with Wii content, you delete the crap. Juggling this about you can fill up the full SD card with Wii content.

Who knew? If you peel away Scotch tape, you emit X-Rays. Well, the Russians found out about 50 years ago. It turns out that unpeeling 3 cm / second emits enough X-Rays to take a picture of a finger!

New state of matter found

In addition to gas, liquid and solid we now also have “quasi-three- dimensional electron crystal”, which is sort of 3D, but not quite. Strange stuff, and the boffins are looking at it to see what they can do with it, but as they discovered it in a resistor, there’s a good chance this will be of use to minituarise computer chips, allowing us to make them even faster.

The lenses on these glasses are cut so that the view to the sides of the wearers head is sent to your peripheral vision, where you’re not so good at looking at detail, but good at detecting movement. This should improve safetly substantially whilst doing just about anything!

Parkour / Freerunning

Posted on October 21, 2008 by Robin

Reply

Parkour is the original French name for the sport, Freerunning is the name it has taken on. These guys get from A to B using the most original way possible. That means jumping railings, from house to house, doing flips, running up walls, etc etc etc. It’s an art as much as a sport and involves high levels of fitness, power and gymnastic ability.
