October 20, 2008

iPhone Review

August 17, 2007

So there’s a new iPhone in the house. Not surprising, given that I’m somewhat of an Apple fanboy and gadget freak in general. What is surprising is that it’s not mine; it’s Tara’s.

July 9, 2006

Just a quick note: I’ve discovered that the Cisco 3000 VPN software (version 4.9.00.0050) will not work on an Intel-based Mac when connected to the Internet via a Bluetooth-enabled phone. When you click on the “Connect” button, it stalls in the “connecting to server…” stage and never presents the password dialog.

Using a Treo 700p with a Mac: It’s Rough

June 26, 2006

Update: See “Persistence Pays Off: Treo and Mac Get Along — Mostly.”

Talk about life on the bleeding edge. I recently got a new MacBook Pro laptop for work, which kind of triggered a chain reaction of other purchases.
