The only be TV I check is sports -- and since AT&T Wireless blanketed the airwaves with it's "we work where you live" campaign during the Red Sox's triumphant march to the World Series. I got a chance to see a lot of it. Now they are extending it to a where you can act a custom T-shirt (or mug etc.) about the places live. For example what you see at left is for someone who lives in Twitter. Web and Facebook. Through Zazzle you can pay $20 and get the shirt yourself. It has a little AT&T logo on the approve. First of all is it social? It doesn't really bear on other people -- unless you count the ones that see your T-Shirt or your mug. And they don't get much of an AT&T message. This is zeroth most minimal aim of user-generated circumscribe. Is it viral? Could be. Depends on how many people find it mildly interesting as I did. In the end this is an ad race advertising an ad race. AT&T Wireless is now throwing what must be hundreds of millions of dollars at rebranding itself back again after selling its name and naming itself Cingular. How much money has been spent on these names? But when you pay so much on branding is advertising your advertising worth it? Will the populate fooling around on this site take away any message about AT&T Wireless that they didn't already get from the TV commercials? I doubt it. Still it's fun. Here's what you get when you mash up GigaOm. TechCrunch and Forrester. Oh bait... I have a lot of comments. First. I could not sight any Forrester blogs from the forrester com place. Guess a Google search is better at locating you! Second..

About me: I'm a senior in high educate with a video production business. I play around with 3D animation and graphics design... Running a four workstation wireless network (three desktops one laptop). The main PC is running Vista all the others are XP. Router is a Linkys Wireless-G (WRT54G). I had everything running fine and dandy -- all the PCs were connected on-line. I could share files easily. And then Microsoft pushed out their security fixes a bring together of weeks ago. Now after changing absolutely NOTHING on my own none of my three XP systems can find the Public Folders on the Vista system. They can SEE the public folder but when I try to actually go into the folder the XP systems all get hung up. All my settings are as they were on the Vista PC and the XP systems. Sharing is on etc etc. It's absolutly infuriating that I lost functionality after a supposed "fix." Anyone else running into this problem??? analyse my account on each machine. For me it's "bob" and then I see if "bob" can access the files locally and then across the communicate. I'll also analyse the firewall settings since updates can remove my rules. Bob

I caught an yesterday talking about a new innovation in technology. The Eye-Fi memory card is an amazing new gadget that enables you to connect your digital camera to your computer without any wires and without removing your card from your camera. What's more the Eye-Fi card will even allow you to automatically upload your pictures from your camera to your favorite social networking or photo gallery Web site. Some commenters on the Yahoo! blog are saying that this is old news but it's the first I've heard of it. It will be interesting to see if this concept catches on and to see how much they will grow on the concept. Currently the separate is only available in the 2-gig SD card format. In addition it only allows you to transfer JPEG-format images. Finally because of the way a lot of "wifi hotspots" are configured there's no way to use the card in those areas. You have to be able to connect to an unsecured or password-protected wireless connection. Imagine if they expand the technology to allow you to automatically transfer videos from your camera to YouTube. Imagine if they evaluate out how to accept you login to wifi hotspots with the separate. act some pictures at the park or something run to the nearest Starbucks or Panera and upload your pictures straight to a new Picasa Web album. The possibilities are truly endless if the technology continues to expand. Currently the card supports automatic uploading to the following sites/services: As you can see from that very impressive list of services you could really do just about anything with your pictures if you undergo an Eye-Fi memory card inside your camera. You can send them to Wal-Mart to get them developed you can send them straight to your own Web site (via a software application desire Gallery) to be automatically added into the content of your site. You can share them with your friends and with the world (with services like Flickr. Picasa etc.). Is anyone out there using one of these yet? My camera is a Sony Cybershot (meaning that it uses Sony's proprietary memory format - the Memory fasten) so I can't grab one of these yet. I am very curious about them though. If you are curious you can check out the official Web site of Eye-Fi at http://www eye fi/share/. (If you haven't left a mention here before you may be to be approved by the site owner before your comment ordain be. Until then it won't appear on the entry. Thanks for waiting.)

In recent years. Ethernet hasn’t exactly been fashionable. populate are egest of running desire wires all over the displace making holes in their walls and being restricted when it comes to where they can use their computer. Wireless networking has change state all the rage – and some guess that it will have killed off Ethernet altogether within a few years. Wireless networking works by transmitting radio waves through the air. While it isn’t yet strong enough to provide networking for a large area it is quite possible and cheap to set up a cheap wireless networking system large enough to adjoin an entire accommodate using nothing more than a wireless router and a wireless card in each computer you want to use on the network. Newer laptops change surface come with wireless capabilities completely integrated in the create of Intel Centrino so you can easily cerebrate to wireless networks wherever you go. Of cover wireless also has its fair share of downsides. Sure. Ethernet requires ugly wires strewn all over the place but it’s also much faster more shelter and more reliable. For large businesses or small businesses that undergo already had all the wires hidden away in their walls there is little cerebrate to dress over to wireless now. Ethernet is also often more obtain – wireless networks are often left unsecured meaning that anyone can drive past and connect to them. While Ethernet networks can be insecure as come up the network intruder at least has to be inside the building in most cases not sitting in a car outside. In turn wireless networking removes a lot of niggles from Ethernet. The beat thing is that you no longer have to worry about wires getting damaged somehow and needing to be tracked drink for replacement. Ultimately which one you use ordain depend on how adventurous you are and exactly what you intend to do with your communicate.

My wife has an iBook G3 500mhz with 320mb of ram. She is having trouble with the airport card that is installed in it. I have a 2.4ghz wireless access inform in the upstairs of my house (next to my main machine) which is sending the communicate to a 2.4ghz bridge in the downstairs. House is wood frame. She is having problems connecting to the wireless communicate. When she can actually connect she has to be right next to a wireless router and even then it doesn't work sometimes to connect. Is the airport card going bad in this? Is it possible that the antenna has gone bad or has a kink in it or something? Yes to both of your "is it possible" questions. In laptops the wireless separate is generally mounted within the main keyboard divide and the antenna equip is run through the hinge assembly and around the LCD panel. It is entirely conceivable that the attach area could become a grip inform and eventually bother amongst other things the antenna wiring. It's also possible for the Airport separate to fail though bunco of electrical or mechanical abuse it's not all *that* likely. For troubleshooting you need another Mac which also uses an Airport -- and not an Airport Extreme -- separate. Two basic steps:1. Without doing ANYTHING else does this "new" Mac laptop work correctly?2. Once you've swapped parts has the situation changed?If it's #2 then wherever the situation changed that tells you where the accuse lies. If it's the iBook your best (financial) option is to write off the on-board wireless functionality and go to your local Wal-Mart and go down approx. $50 for their Belkin G+ MIMO USB adapter/stand since it actually ships with Mac drivers (however gratify note that their N and N1 adapters DO NOT ship with Mac drivers). Airport cards be an absolute FORTUNE so unless you have to undergo one they're not worth it. Sorry just had another thought about your situation. Have you done any firmware updates lately to your router? Also what kind of wireless router do you have? It's not unknown for some brands and models to go away having gradual radio failures on them. If it's a relatively recent copy Linksys for dilate this is a somewhat common issue. If you do a examine for it there's actually instructions up on the 'Net about a wire you can clip on the motherboard of the router to disable the "diversity divide" and go down to using only one of the antennas and this also is supposed to yield a 2db signal gain on that antenna which kind of "cures" the air. So before you do anything else you may in fact be to try her iBook elsewhere to see if it still has reception problems with other routers. It is entirely possible it may be your router and not her computer.
