Thursday, September 19, 2002Patenting a Handheld e-Mail Devicecomment []
RIM granted handheld email patent - clobbers Handspring. (SOURCE:Radio News Aggie)-Sad. RIM needs to innovate NOT litigate! It's Too Much For A Single Week!First Jenny Levine at TSL returns, then liveTopics actually gets released. I'm retiring. My life is complete.
liveTopics finally released. "#prefs.txt not found" errorThis is getting tiresome. There is obviously something wacky going on with the way Radio is reading the category files, but I don't have any idea if it's a buggered table in weblogData.root or something else entirely.IBM Hard Drive FailuresStop buying IBM drives. That's what Brett MorganZilla suggests via e-mail. I'm afraid he's right. This is now the third IBM drive to go tits-up on me in a year. What's worse, IBM can't even find the purchase records for the drives to send me an RMA. They want me to fax them the drive label and purchase receipt.But see, I bought the drives -- all three -- from IBMDirect Online. I did that for the sole purpose of making it easier to deal with warranty issues. Turns out, it's harder because IBM apparently doesn't consider IBM a channel, and therefore doesn't record its own sales. Stupid. I haven't had really good luck with WD drives, either. I guess I'm left with using the Maxtor drives I can get at OfficeDepot and Staples. Have we gotten to the point that we just throw them away when they go bad because it's less hassle and $$$ than trying to get a warranty?
