Todd Cochrane of Geek News Central talks about the iPad2 announcement from Apple in the latest eposide of his show. He talks about it being a so-so upgrade and why he will not upgrade. I guess I'm an Apple fanboy because I think it's a great upgrade and will most likely purchase one when it's available March 11, 2011. The new features that won me over is the faster processor, faster graphics, build-in camera, and HDMI output with the ability to mirror the iPad's screen. I don't think this will be a great photo/video capture device with the built-in cameras, but I will use the front camera for conferencing. I'll talk about this more on March 11, but in the meantime check out Todd's show and check out his website. Thanks, Tom

It's been a busy few months and it's just about to get busier. I'm heading out next week to Las Vegas to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) that's held every year in January. I've been to CES a few times and to Comdex more times than I can remember, but this is the first time I'm going to "work the show."
Working the show means we will be video interviewing as many companies as we can fit into our week-long schedule. There will be nine of us divided into two camera crews, including Todd Cochrane from Geek News Central, Andy McCaskey from SDRNews and Jeffrey from Geekazine. Our goal is to find interesting companies and do three to five minute video interviews for each. The interviews will be edited and posted on the internet as fast as we can make it happen. There will also be some streaming video (via Ustream.com) and back-channel videos posted. This will be an interested event because video is beginning to make it's presence on the internet. Leo Laporte with his TWIT network is moving to video and I know Leo and his crew is going to CES to cover the show too. Todd Cochrane sees this shift to video and is gearing up to meet this new demand. Video coverage at CES is just one part of that change. One big unknown is Internet access. I'm sure we won't be the only group covering the show and trying to push media to the web. Between cell phones, twitter/facebook, and streaming video, CES 2010 may bring down the Internet. We do live in interesting (and exciting) times! You can follow what's happening at the Geek News Central website. I will be posting some things on this blog and on my Twitter account: fogview. Let me know if you're going to CES or know of anything that you would like to see us cover. You can email me a myfogview at gmail dot com. 73's and Happy New Years Tom

The current buzz on the Internet is Comcast's formal policy about capping customer's Internet bandwidth at 250 GB/month (Comcast calls this excessive use). Customers who exceed this monthly bandwidth will get a warning notice and those that exceed it twice within a six month period will have their account canceled and banned from the Comcast service for one year. This policy goes into effect October 1, 2008. I have heard stories in the past few months about users having their Comcast service suddenly stop, forcing them to call customer service to hear that they exceeded their monthly bandwidth. I'm a Comcast user and have read through my customer agreements and didn't see anything about bandwidth limits. It does state that they can change the "terms of service" but that's it. Frank, who has @ComCastCares on Twitter, says that this policy has been in effect for a while now and Comcast is just making the number public after getting requests from Comcast users. Comcast is also saying that if you haven't received a warning under the current policy, you have nothing to worry about. Well, I'm worried for the following reasons:
In many areas of the country Internet users have very few choices for Internet providers and I'm afraid if Comcast is allowed to continue this policy, it will push back technology explosion we are seeing now. I'm involved in what some are calling "new media" and that would not be possible without the Internet and the ability to consume/deliver high bandwidth content. If you are not on Comcast you may think this doesn't affect you, but you're wrong. I'm sure other Internet providers are looking at this very closely and will follow suit if Comcast is able to make this stick. Todd Cochran, of GeekNewsCentral, has called for a Comcast boycott and you should call your Internet provider NOW and let them know this is not acceptable!

Here is a screencast demo I did for VidBlaster Pro. VidBlaster is a great way to create a short video or stream your video live on Ustream and other live streaming sites. VidBlaster supports multiple cameras and allows you to intermix live video with pre-recorded video and audio clips. Take a few minutes and check out demo. You can find more information at www.vidblaster.com One additional note. You can download the trial version of VidBlaster and try it out for free. You can create unlimited length videos and the only difference from the registered version is a small “trial” bug in the upper corner of the video output. -Tom

Last Tuesday Microsoft released the Zune 2 devices in 80 GB, 8 GB, and 4 GB versions. Below is the front page of this week’s Target ad showing the flashed-based Zune device (4 and 8 GB). Which item would you pick, the Zune (on the left) or the iPod Touch (on the right)? Did you even notice the Zune? (I thought it was the last generation iPod Nano until I took a closer look.) I know there’s a $150 price difference between the two but that issue is answered when you turn the page.
This is what you see on the inside page. A nice ad telling you the iPod makes the perfect gift. So where’s the Zune? If I didn’t know better I would think this whole thing was an Apple ad and they included the Zune for comparision purposes.
The Microsoft Zune is so far behind the iPod in Marketing and sales, you would think Microsoft would pay to make a splash for the release of the Zune 2. I bet many won’t even notice the Zune but will notice the iPod Touch on the front page and the new iPod Nano and iPod Classic on the second page. I paid $250 for my first generation 30 GB Zune over a year ago so I’ve been watching Microsoft and were they were going with the Zune. Where they went was reducing my Zune by $100. They finally released a product that competes with the last generation iPods but I don’t expect many buyers to get excited about this device and ads like this doesn’t help either. At least they provided the loyal first gen Zune users with a firmware upgrade so they could experience the new Zune 2 user interface. Before this year I’ve never owned an iPod (or any Apple product for that matter) so I was really hoping Microsoft would make the Zune a success. I recently purchased an iPod Nano and iPod Touch because the Zune just didn’t do what I wanted. Time will tell if Microsoft can convince buyers that the Zune 2 is as sexy and cool as the iPod. I’ve downloaded the new Zune Desktop software and upgraded the firmware in my older Zune and I plan to write up my experiences. I’ve also talked about my initial reaction on my last podcast and will talk more about it soon. I’ll let you know about the new Zune experience and how it compares to the iPod. More to come. Stay tuned.

I’ve blogged before about Zooomr and the problems it had with the re-launch of Zooomr Mark III but I’m happy to report it’s now up and running. Granted there still are a number of features not yet working (like SmartSets) but the site is stable and users are uploading photos and exploring Zooomr’s new features. Check out the Discovery 100 feature of Zooomr where it shows the best pictures of the past hour, day, week, and year. To help spread the word Randy Carranza (randyman) has printed up some Zooomr sticker (see above photo) that you can order and paste wherever you like. He has started a Zooomr group (StickerWalking) where users can post photos of their pastings. You can find more information about ordering the Zooomr stickers here. You can also checkout my photos on Zooomr here. Zooomr Sticker Making Video

This is a video of the first attempt to re-launch Zooomr Mark III. This was recorded on the Zooomr Ustream.tv feed. At this launch attempt the Zooomr site was only up for 20 minutes before it crashed and burned. The site finally re-launched (the second time) on Saturday, May 2, 2007. Zooomr is running a little slow but Kris Tate and Thomas Hawk are slowly getting out the bugs. You can watch this 17:08 minute video here or watch it full screen here (click on the Full Screen link). If you want to see the Zooomr chat room text you will need to view the full-screen version of the video. The Zooomr Ustream feed stopped right before the Zooomr launch so the video shows the minutes leading up to the launch and after the launch. Sorry for the audio quality in this video.

This is a quick update on Zooomr Mark III launch. As I’ve been posting before the Zooomr re-launch came and went (crash and burned) and Kristopher Take is in the process of getting it going again. They had a few hardware server problems and Zoho came to the rescue to get Zooomr up and going again. Sun Microsystems also came in with a server box on loan for 60 days. Zoli’s Blog has a great recap of all that has happened over the past 12 days. The fact that it’s two days since Zoho came to the rescue and Zooomr is not up seems to have upset some people. On top of that the Zooomr Blog seems to have problems because of the Zoomr crash and is not providing timely updates of the status. Dedicated users have been glued to the Zooomr Ustream.tv feed and getting updates directly from Kris and Thomas Hawk. Robert Scoble has also been active in the Zooomr IRC chat room and providing support and status updates whenever he can. There are a few hardware problems that need to be sorted out and Kris doesn’t want to bring Zooomr up just to have it crash again. He has been working long, long hours and doing his best to make sure when Zooomr comes online, it stays online. We (Zooomr users) are behind Kris and Thomas and support them in getting Zooomr back up when they feels it’s ready to come online. Kris was able to get the static photos back online so blogs that link to these photos will be able to access their pictures again. We would like to thank the Internet community and especially Zoho and Sun Microsystems for coming forward and lending a big helping hand. Zooomr will live again! The Zooomr users have started a Zooomr Mark III Launch wiki and you can see it here. Tags: zoho sun microsystems zooomr robert scoble thomas hawk ustream

Tonight (May 29) at 11:15 PM, Zooomr Mark III launched and everyone in the Zooomr Ustream.TV chat room rushed onto the site and started posting what they found. Twenty minutes late it went down as fast as it went up. Zooomr had lost a data base server and had to be taken off line. For those who don’t know Zooomr is a photo sharing site similar to Flickr and has been down for the past week being overhauled with over 250 new features. The lead (and only) programmer, Kristopher Tate, has been working night and day on this venture and tonight was a major defeat in Zooomr’s launch. While the site was up everyone was excited by what they saw. Reading the posts in the chat room reminded me of kids running to be the first on the rides at Disneyland after they opened the gates. For many of us it’s been a week’s wait watching Kristopher and Thomas Hawk broadcast the ups and downs of this launch live over Ustream.tv. Hanging out in the chat room and getting to know Kristopher and Thomas felt like family and everyone was enjoying being part of it all. Even before the launch actually happened, Robert Scoble wrote a post about Zooomr asking for others to help this startup survive. After the launch I was going to title this post “Did Ustream Save Zooomr,? but even though that may be true, I don’t think Ustream can fix this. What can you do to help?

Today Zooom Mark III plans to launch. Zooomr is a photo sharing site similar to Flickr. Users can create an account and upload their photos for all the world to view and share. The site was created by one programmer, Kristopher Tate (CTO) and has been highly promoted by Thomas Hawk, who is also the CEO of Zoomr. For the past two days Kristopher and Thomas have been live on Ustream.tv talking about the launch and answering questions about Zooomr Mark III and photography via the UStream chat box. They plan to stay live until Zooomr launches (ETA is this afternoon). To my knowledge this is the first time a web site has launched (or relaunched in the case of Zooomr) live. The launch also was written up on TechCrunch. The “meta” picture was taken with my Nikon D40 after asking Thomas for a picture shot.

Dave Winer mentioned on Scripting News that he was the Dave was having problems syncing the Zune to his Mac (running Windows using Parallels) and figuring out how to download podcasts to the Zune. I left a comment on his blog about how I download podcasts to my Zune and thought I would repeat the information here since others may have the same problem or curious about how its done. The Microsoft Zune desktop software doesn’t support podcasts directly (but it is listed as a genre), so you will need an external podcast reader (podcatcher) like Juice or iTunes to retrieve your favorite podcast shows. I use Juice as my podcatcher which downloads podcasts to separate folders for each podcast. After the podcasts are on my computer the Zune desktop will sync them up to the Zune device using “watch” folders. I don’t automatically have the Zune software watch all the podcast show folders because sometimes I listen to them on my desktop and don’t want them on the Zune. To sync the podcasts up with the Zune I’ve created a Zune folder under My Documents with three subfolders: Pictures, Videos, and Podcasts. I’ve set the Zune desktop software to watch those folders so anything that gets placed in the folders are automatically synced to the Zune. Some of the downloaded podcasts go directly to my Zune Podcast folder and other shows I manually move to the folders. The next time the Zune is connected to the desktop it will automatically download any new files it finds in the watched folders and remove any files from the Zune that have been removed from the watched folders. Other things you need to remember: 1) You can’t delete the podcasts on the Zune but must manually delete (or remove) them from the “watched” folders. It has no concept of what’s been played and what can be deleted. (I generally listen to all the podcasts on my Zune before resyncing to the PC so I can safely delete everything in the Zune Podcast directory.) 2) Use the genre: Podcast on the Zune to find the downloaded podcasts and select “play all.” This only works if the MP3 ID3 tags has the word “podcast” in the genre field. I find most podcasts do but some don’t and it may list those shows under Unknown genre. 3) When you first install the Zune software it automatically checks the My Music, My Pictures, and My Videos directories on your computer and transfers any existing media you may have. This may take a while if computer is loaded with lots of media files. (You can disable this — see below.) You can access the Zune desktop software “watched” folders list with: Options->Library-Monitor Folders A question that keeps coming up about the Zune is what happens if you can’t listen to a podcast completely? When you turn the Zune back on does it continue where you left off or does it start from the beginning? The answer is yes and no. Most of the time you can pause and turn off the player and continue later where you left off. There are two exceptions to this: 1) If the battery drains completely while it’s off (wi-fi and FM radio can cause a drain), and 2) After the Zune has been sitting idle for a few days the Zune seems to go through a reset and loses the knowledge of what it was previously doing (even with a fully charged battery). It doesn’t lose any of the media, only what was played. I hope this has been helpful.

A number of listeners to my podcast have been emailing me and asking about the freeway collapse we had in the San Francisco Bay Area last Sunday (April 29, 2007). I thought I would write about it here for those who are interested.
Around 3:30 AM Sunday a gasoline truck crashed into a guard rail and overturned on the 880 freeway near the San Francisco Bay Bridge. The truck burst into flames and the fire was so hot it melted the 580 freeway structure that crosses the 880 freeway, causing it to collapse. Luckily the truck driver was able to get out of his truck in time and hailed a taxi cab who took him to a local hospital. He survived with only 2nd degree burns. No one else was injured. (See video and pictures of the collapse here.)
The freeway collapse was a major news story (and still is). I'm amazed how hot the fire got to melt the structure. The section of freeway affected is near the entrance to the San Francisco Bay bridge from the Oakland/Berkeley side of the bay (called the East Bay). It mainly affects people who work in San Francisco. Commuters can cross the Bay Bridge going into San Francisco but coming home they will need to exit the bridge and take Oakland city surface streets to by-pass the collapsed section. It will be a major traffic issue for months to come. I live in the outskirts of the Bay Area and don’t travel to San Francisco very often so this collapse doesn’t directly affect me.
As you can imagine it really affects traffic in the Bay Area. It mainly affect people who live in the East Bay (Oakland, Berkeley, etc.) and work in San Francisco. With the section of the freeway gone commuters have other alternatives (other freeways and city streets) but in watching the news coverage over the past four days you would think the entire Bay Area freeway system had collapsed.
All the Bay Area radio and TV news stations have extended coverage of this event. Reporters are out in traffic; near the site of the collapsed freeway; and riding mass transit (BART). On Monday most commuters stayed home so I think the reporters were the only ones in the traffic. One TV station had an airplane; news vans; and reporters on the side of the freeway near the freeway collapse and showing how bad drivers were acting slowing down to view the collapse and causing a major traffic jam. Maybe the news crew was the REAL cause of slowdown.
I know this is major news story but when news stations only talk about this one story and run extended coverage (starting at 4 AM), something is wrong. I would love to have Dave Winer’s Checkbox News so I could opt out of this “news event” after four days. I’m tired of hearing extended coverage about commuters coping with the change and the lack of a major traffic backup.
A quick update: After four days the collapsed freeway has been removed and the inspection of remaining structure begins. Current cost: 9 Stay tuned … Technorati Tags: dave winer freeway collapse

I woke up this morning and checked my Twitter tweets and found this one from Jason Calacanis:
I clicked on the URL and found myself smiling at what Jason wrote. He lists the things you need to do for him to link to your post. I’m not sure he’s serious about everything in his list but I figured he did it to see how many people would write about him and link back to his site. This is an interesting social experiment and I’m sure he will get lots of takers (I’m guess I’m one of them). Jason has been around for a while (co-founder of Weblogs Inc; VP at AOL) but I started reading his blog and following him on Twitter when I heard him on the Gillmor Gang podcast doing a great imitation of Adam Curry. He also has been talking about Fatblogging and exercising to get his weight down so he can run a marathon. Since I’m a runner that caught my interest. You can read about Jason here. I find I get a lot of great links from Twitter (like the one from Jason). I follow a number of interesting people on the Web and Twitter helps not only answering the question “What are you doing now?”, but more important, “What do you find interesting now?”. I do have one concern that I haven’t seen raised before about Twitter and that’s clicking on unknown links. Twitter limits the text to 140 characters (because of SMS text message limits) so most URLs are converted to the “tinyurl” format to save space. As you can see in Jason tweet the URL destination is hidden and you don’t know where it’s going until you’re there — very dangerous (for Window users). I guess it’s a matter of trusting who you’re following and hope nobody hacks their account and starts posting dangerous URLs. I found another great tweet this morning from Jeremiah Owyang (Podtech) that mirrors what I was talking about in my last podcast:

The past few days I’ve been watching the Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco. I had an Expo ticket but was to busy to attend but thanks to the Internet and Ustream.tv I was able to feel the excitement and the maybe view the future of new media. Ustream.tv is the latest Internet craze (following Justin.tv and 24/7 video). What surprises me most is I didn’t hear of it from Leo Laporte (the “joiner”) but from others on Twitter: Chris Pirillo, Robert Scoble, and Jeremiah Owyang. Chris has been playing with Ustream for a few weeks while Robert and Jeremiah work for Podtech and have been streaming video from the Web 2.0 conference for the past few days. I think it’s been an interesting experiment for all involved and watching the stream. The ability to interact through the chatroom makes it a wonderful two-way media experience. Today all three (along with Thomas Hawk) were on a Web 2.0 panel and each one (except Thomas) were streaming the event from their web cam. The quality is not the best because each was using a wireless Internet connection (Sprint EVDO, Cingular Edge) so at times the video would freeze or the audio would drop. I was able to capture 15 minutes of the session with all three web feeds and I posted it below and on my account on blip.tv. The quality is not the best but this may be the future. Robert Scoble used a Logitech Notebook USB cam mounted on his hat. Jeremiah used the same Logitech cam mounted on a tripod from the audience. Chris used a hand held (MiniDV?) cam (just two words Chris: white balance). Check it out and maybe you’ll create your own streaming video.

That's what Robert Scoble wants me to say. Today Scoble wrote a post about negative comments driving traffic to a web site. Actually, I've watched his videos and I think they're good because he interviews movers and shakers in the computer industry and is always ahead of the curve in what's hot.
I've been sick this past week but plan to have another podcast up in a few days. Lots of tech things to talk about including the "T" word. Stay tuned. Tom

I will cover the Zune software installation in another post and on an upcoming podcast. My Zune Experience Tuesday I woke up early and headed to Target to wait in line for the Microsoft Zune player. (I figured if there was going to be a line my Target store would be out of the way and not have a long line.) I was running a little late and arrived five minutes after 8 AM and found the parking lot pretty empty. I walked in the store and only saw two other customers and an empty electronics counter. I asked if they had any Zunes and he had one in his hand for another customer and two more under the counter. It turns out this Target store only received eight white Zunes and they only had two left when I entered the store (5 minutes after they opened). I asked if they sold the five units before I arrived and never got a clear answer (maybe some Target employees are "happy" owners of a white Zune). From what I could tell there was never a line for the Zune but I'm sure others will be disappointed if they go in to pick up their own unit later. I took my Zume home to see for myself what the company from Redmond was shipping. Before I describe what I found let me tell you that I'm not an iPod user and that I use an iRiver MP3 player for my music and podcasts. I'm also a Windows XP user which is a good thing because it's one of the requirements mentioned on the Zune package (no support for the Apple Mac). I unpacked the unit and you can find my pictures here. The Zune was packaged in a nice cardboard box without any sign of the heavy plastic packaging that is so much the norm these days. Two things stood out as I unpacked the box. 1) There was no AC adapter and 2) No user manual. There was a Start guide that basically told you to insert the enclosed CD in a Windows XP machine and described the simple controls on the Zune. The Zune charges its internal battery using the supplied USB sync cable (an AC adapter can be purchased if you need to recharge the Zune and you don't have access to a computer with a USB port). I didn't have a chance to install the Zune software because I was working on an important project and wanted to wait until I finished before installing software that I heard could cause problems. The following are my observations from using the device right out of the box. Physically, the Zune is about the same size as a Video iPod with a larger screen. The Zune feels solid in my hand and looks like it's enclosed in a plastic case (which you can't open). The plastic case protects the Zune but I'm concerned about the control pad which looks like the scroll wheel on the iPod but is really five buttons that controls volume and media forward/rewind. There is a small gap around the round control pad that looks like it could trap food, dirt and other stuff. Time will tell if this is a problem. Here is what you find on the Zune case: Top: Lock button and 3.5 mm headphone jack Front: Back button, Pause/Play button, Control Pad with volume up/down, forward/reverse, and OK (center) Bottom: USB sync connector (power and computer sync) Back: "Hello From Seattle," "Assembled in China," model number (1090) and serial number. I did not find "Microsoft" anywhere on the device. One note about the battery -- there is no way to open the Zune which means the battery is not user replaceable. This means after two or three years (depending on use) the battery could fail to hold a charge and you will need to buy something new. Start me up Pressing any button powers up the Zune (the Start guide says you press the pause/play button for 3 seconds to turn it on). The home menu allows you to select music, videos, pictures, radio, and settings. I selected music and found 11 sample songs to choose from. I plugged in my own headphones (I don't do well with earbuds) and the music was loud and clear. When a song is played album art is displayed along with information about the song. Also displayed is a time line with the elapsed time and total time. A battery icon in the lower right corner indicates how much battery life remains. After a minute the display goes dark (to conserve the battery) but the music continues to play. Pressing any key brings it back. I later found that the display time is settable in the "settings" menu under "display->backlight." The default is 1 minute but can be changed from 1 second to always on. What is strange is calling this "backlight" because when it goes off the display goes completely dark. I'm use to Microsoft PDAs where the screen display is still readable when the backlight is off. This is not what I expected but I'm sure other (non-engineers) would not even question this. The main reason I was interested in the Zune was video. The Zune comes with 15 sample videos which gives you a good idea of what's possible. Up until now the Zune displays everything in portrait mode but when you start a video the display switches to landscape. What's nice is the control pad also switches so when you rotate the Zune to watch the video the up and down control pad still controls the volume and left and right control pads controls the forward/rewind functions. The video is displayed full screen and when you press the pause key the time line is displayed with the elapsed/remaining times. The back button backs you up one menu level or back to the main menu if you press and hold the button. The Zune comes with 28 sample pictures that you can view one-by-one or as a slide show. You can also make one of the pictures the background image that is displayed whenever you are not listening to music; viewing a video; or looking at pictures. The radio function was interesting for a couple reasons. The display is like a radio dial and can display radio station information (call letters and information about the song being played) if the radio station is sending it out over a subcarrier (I found a number of stations here in the San Francisco area that supported that feature). The Zune uses the headphone wires as an FM antenna so for weaker stations it was sensitive to how the wire was positioned. Looking at the settings I found you could select North America, Europe, and Japan which is great for international travelers. Storage 11 songs; 28 pictures; 15 videos 0.54 GB used 27.22 GB free Version 1.0 (193) Hardware 2.0 I thought it was odd that this is Hardware version 2.0 when the unit was just released. There are rumors that the Zune is made by Toshiba so this could be the second generation of the Toshiba hardware (with new software supplied by Microsoft). Documentation As I mentioned before there was very little document included with the Zune. That was a Start, Product Guide, and a postcard with the download code for the "14 day free trial of a Zune Pass." The Product Guide is really a safety and warranty guide and gives very little information about the Zune. The only value to the Start guide is the last page that describes the location and function of the buttons. In the descriptions of the Zune functions it mentions how to reset the device (press and hold the back button while pressing up on the control pad). I thought it was odd that it was given such high importance but based on my experiences with Microsoft WinCE and Pocket PCs maybe they expect the user to need this when all seems dead. (It also raises the question about what embedded OS is driving the Zune -- WinCE?) I went to the Zune website and found a place to download manuals but they were PDFs of what I already had. From what I can tell the User Manual in on the Zune.net website. That is where you find a troubleshooting guide and the accessories available. It also gives you information about the Zune Marketplace (for music) and Microsoft Points that you use to purchase music. (I'll have more on that in a future post.) Summary The Zune looks to be a nice device with support for the three things I'm looking for in a portable device: music player, video player, and a place to show off some pictures. The fact that it has a radio that displays radio station information (good when visiting new cities) and can be set for international travel, is an added bonus. I now need to now install the software and look at how that integrates with the Zune and if it gets in the way (more on that in a moment). What I don't like about the Zune is the lack of Macintosh support (currently it only supports Windows XP SP2 and newer). That seems like a slap in the face to Apple users. (I seem to recall that when the iPod was first released it didn't have Windows support.) I also don't care for DRM (Digital Rights Management) and at this point in time I don't plan to place any DRM media on my device. I don't believe I'm part of Microsoft's target audience for the Zune because of my age (baby boomer) and that I want to fill the Zune up with my own non-DRM media: podcasts, my music CDs, podsafe music, and videos I create or download (legally). What I would really like (but not expecting) is a Zune-like device that looks like a storage drive that I can plug into any computer and transfer whatever I want (and have it playable on the Zune). So far I would keep the device if I'm able to add my own content and DRM doesn't get in the way. I've heard rumors that I may run into problems so I'm going to try it and I'll let you know how it works out. (I purchased the Zune at Target because they do have a 90 day no-questions-asked return policy but I do plan to keep the Zune if all goes well.) After I install the Zune software I'll update this review and create a podcast talking about my experiences. Stay tuned. Tom [technorati tags: zune microsoft ipod]

I came across a new site for bloggers called ReviewMe. It's a site that bloggers can sign up for and get paid for writing reviews. You submit your blog and if you're accepted they email you offers from advertisers to review their site or product for a fee (the fee is determine by your blog traffic). What I like about the idea is they don't require you to write a positive review and they do require that you disclose that you are getting paid to write the review. You can also refuse to review a product if you don't feel like doing the review. There has been a lot of talk about other sites that paid bloggers to write reviews but don't require them to disclose that they are being paid for the reivew. I like the fact that this site is different. Advertisers can go to the site and enter tags and get a list of blogs that would be proper for their product. They can also see the cost and pick the site(s) they feel would best hit their target audience. After I signed up for the service the first review I signed up to do was their own site (ReviewMe). So here is the disclaimer that this review is being paid for by ReviewMe. I think it's a smart idea because it helps spread the word about the site. I don't have any history beyond looking at the website and signing up to do reviews so I'll let you know how it works out. I also promise to disclose if I'm getting paid to write about something you read or hear from me. Tom

After I recorded my last podcast (#14) and went to bed I realized I made a big mistake. I talked about lance Armstrong running the Boston Marathon when I meant the New York Marathon. I guess I had Boston Marathon on my mind (all those East Coast races are all the same :-). You would think a fellow runner wouldn't make such a stupid mistake.
Have a great week and talk to you soon. Tom

Today Apple announced that they discovered a Windows virus in a small number of Video iPods sold. The RavMon.exe virus came from a Windows machine used to manufacturer the iPods.
On the Apple website they stated: "As you might imagine, we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy
against such viruses, and even more upset with ourselves for not
catching it." The idea that Apple is using a Windows machine in production raises an
interesting question: Why? Is it being used to validate that the iPods
worked on a Windows machine or is it a better machine to test and
program the iPods? (Maybe it's a money issue and they needed a machine
that didn't cost an arm and a leg.)I wonder if Bill Gates has "hardy" on his wish list for the upcoming Windows Vista? I'm thinking about buying an MacBook but I wish the MacBook was more "hardy" and didn't overheat and shutdown. I also wish Apple was more "hardy" and fessed up to the problem. Tonight I saw the Apple commercial with the Mac and PC guys. I expect in the next commercial the Mac guy will be begging the PC guy for help with virus and spyware protection. Do you see a Vista upgrade in Apple's future?

Apple's announcements at last Monday's WWDC generated a lot of press about OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and Vista, and which one was better. I thought David Pogue's article in the NY Times times ("Getting Hung Up on the Apple-Microsoft War") did a good job summarizing the key points.+++++ "Followers of both camps, in other words, can save themselves a lot of ulcers if they just acknowledge a few facts: * Microsoft gets a lot of ideas from Apple; Apple also gets ideas from Microsoft. It doesn't matter; the most expensive lawyers in Silicon Valley have established that it's all perfectly legal. * Microsoft has won the market-share war, because it dominates in corporations. * Both companies are profitable and have very long futures ahead of them. * If market share were measured by individual buying decisions (rather than quantity of computers), Apple's rank would be much higher. * Even if the grand prize for the "war" is individuals, families and small businesses, the perception of a much bigger war is useful; Windows Vista and Mac OS X Leopard may in fact be on completely different playing fields, but they're both looking like the best versions ever." +++++ I'm a Windows XP user and have never used a Mac but after all the security issues I see on Windows I see myself thinking about the Mac more and more. I'm getting more into media and I know the Mac OS handles that must better than Windows. At lunch today I went to the bookstore and picked up a copy of "Switching to the Mac" so ... Stay tuned.

Just an update about the last podcast and leaving comments on this website.
1. Thanks to Jack for the correct link to the Daily Giz Wiz podcast that I mentioned in episode #9. 2. Jack and others also pointed out that there is a problems leaving comments on this site if you're using the Firefox browser (ver. 1.5). I found that you have to submit the comment twice (entering the security number both times) before it saves the comment. I've contacted Libsyn (the host of this site) and they are aware of the problem but don't have a solution yet. Update: I've joined the Blubrry ("e"-less fruit) network. Take a look at Blubrry.com to find great podcasts and interact with both podcasters and listeners. I'll talk more about Blubrry on my next podcast. Thanks and have a great week. Tom

Hi Everyone,
It's been a while since I've done a podcast or even a blog post. I've been busy with work, vacation, and more work. This past weekend I attended the "geek fest" called Gnomedex in Seattle. I had a great time and plan to share a summary of the conference and my thoughts and views in upcoming blogs and podcasts. An interesting speaker that did make the front page of the Seattle PI newspaper was Senator John Edwards. He had some interesting things to say on both politics and technology. The Senator claims he came to listen to us and educate himself about issues surounding the internet. Stay tuned. I want to thank our conference hosts: Chris and Ponzi for putting on a great conference. I also want to give out special thanks to Jack B. and Janet. Talk to you soon. Tom

I just thought I would update you with a few things happening this week. I mentioned in my last podcast that we had some strange weather here in the San Francisco Bay Area. The picture on the right is Mt. Diablo and was taken from my bedroom Monday morning. I know snow is not rare in the winter time but it is around here. Over the weekend they had snow on the Santa Cruz beach which I've never heard of before. Adam Curry played my audio feedback on this Daily Source Code #353. I sent him feedback about the Podshow Music Network. He played the audio clip near the end of his show (49:46). Speaking of Podshow, it sounds like they are getting ready to open the network for businesss and let podcasters and listeners into the network. This should happen next week and I hope they enable the purchasing of songs too (typicaly 99 cents and no DRM). Have a great week and I'll talk to you on my next podcast (this weekend). Tom
