IE9 – “Beauty of the Web”

Talking about Beauty of the Web

I will have to admit, I never thought I would be tempted to steer away from Google Chrome. However, Microsoft appears to have done a splendid job with Internet Explorer 9. Today is the first day that I have really played around with it after reformatting my computer last week. I like the responsiveness of it and the accelerators rock! I have Google Mail and WordPress set up for the main accelerators I plan to use. In fact, I started this post using it on the Beauty of the Web site linked above. To say the least, I am amazed thus far!

HTCSync v3.0.5511 with ThunderBolt

Posted by on April 18, 2011 No comments

I was finally able to get my ThunderBolt working with HTCSync. I had tried when I first received my new ThunderBolt, but it just wouldn’t recognize the phone. Last night, after talking to a friend about Windows 7 and his impending reformat to install it, I decided it was time to reformat my computer and start fresh. After all, it had been over two years since I had to reformat and things were getting a bit slow. Anyhow, HTCSync is working great now! I can’t wait to get iTunes loaded and build some Genius playlists for syncing!

I will post some other screenshots as I get other programs installed, namely Microsoft Outlook. The music section allows syncing with iTunes and Windows Media Player. The bookmarks will actually allow me to sync with Google Chrome, which is FANTASTIC! The other sync options aren’t too appealing to me just yet, but that may change. I do like that I can sync photos to my phone, just in case I want to keep some photos of the kids with me!

Andriod 2.2 on Droid

Posted by on August 23, 2010 No comments

I’d have to say I’m less than enthused with the latest release from Google. I woke up on Friday morning and my phone had been updated. So, I restarted it and everything seemed fine. That was, until I put it in my car dock to go to work. See, I listen to a lot of music on my Droid during the 25 minute drive to work. It used to stay brightly lit so I could see what songs were playing or see the map if I was in navigation mode. Apparently Google decided that the display should follow the auto dimming feature, regardless of whether it’s plugged in or not. I’ve noticed the same on my media dock at home, since I use it for my alarm clock too. It used to have a nice display that had a dim background at night. It would even show you the weather forecast for the next day. However, since 2.2, it now just shows the time in a night vision goggle type of color. Such a shame. I want my 2.1 back…
