I recently saw that Sprint had finally joined the Android bandwagon and was able to procure two Android-based phones for their service. I decided to purchase the HTC Hero and thus far am pretty happy with it. Below is quick review of a 1 day use. Software The phone ships with the latest Android 2.0 platform...

Microsoft reported today that they will no longer be continuing the development or distribution of Office Accounting software package. Can’t say we didn’t see this one coming. It’s pretty obvious they were trying to get into the QuickBooks market and it just didn’t make any headway. I don’t know what...

Sick and tired of Windows Mobile on my Mogul. It's slow. It's designed for a stylus, not my thumb. On the plus side, I like the fact I can write applications for the phone in a very advanced development environment (e.g. Visual Studio 2008), do microsoftie stuff, etc. I haven't used an iPhone...

Microsoft released a website recently posting reaction videos of people they had asked to preview a new version of Windows called Mojave. Only this was simply Windows Vista they were actually previewing. The point being to show that people had misconceptions about the operating system. The problem I...

It seems like Microsoft is only partially getting the hint these days. Perhaps they've lost their fight to be the best in every market; innovators in every respect. Maybe I'm just overly jaded by their mistakes. Vista, Mobile 6, and TagSpace to name a few. Now 6.1 was shown to be a BIG improvement...

Seriously, I really don't. Probably the first time since Windows NT 3.51 Since I've said that. Sad really, but the only thing I would even consider caring about is IIS 7.0, and I'm so fed up with writing web applications, I don't even care about it either. I guess you could say I'm...

Scott reports that Microsoft has released the .NET source code w/ developer comments. If you are a true geek it's time to rig up your VS to use the remote symbol library of course. Sucks we can't browse the code though... hmmm. .NET Framework Library Source Code now available - ScottGu's...

I find it ridiculous that these companies can get away with the insane prices for computer ink. If they didn't bother with all the electronics B.S. they put into a cartridge we wouldn't have to pay so much for one. My all-in-one Lexmark printer will not report ink usage correctly. I have cartridges...

Yes friends, after years of waiting, VS2K8 bits have gone to press. More info http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/default.aspx MSSQL Dump 2008 will be written and built with VS2K8!

Came across this bit of news here: http://port25.technet.com/archive/2007/10/03/releasing-the-source-code-for-the-net-framework-libraries.aspx Looks like Microsoft will be releasing the commented source code for the 3.5 .NET runtime libraries with Visual Studio 2008. Should be interesting... Although...
