                                _In case you are wondering what how come you can't watch Universal Sports anymore as of January 1, I hope I can clarify this for you. Universal Sports had a big campaign telling everyone to call their service provider, but strangely enough they did not tell you what to do if you are watching Universal Sports OTA (over the air). That is because they stopped multicasting.   It is Universal Sports who choose to pull their programming and stop multicasting. The greedy execs at NBC Universal pulled their broadcasts off the air because they want more money.

                                Goodbye Steve! 10/05/2011

                                Yesterday I was watching all the tech blogs of the iPhone event in Cupertino and something seemed amiss. Don’t get me wrong, I like Tim Cook and he seems like a smart guy and all but he’s no Steve Jobs.

                                For all his personal shortcomings and lack of personal interaction skills, Steve was an absolute genius when it comes to technology and marketing and not just Apple technology. Steve changed every business he ever interacted with. After he left Apple in 1985 he went on to create NeXT Computer Corporation that in turn created the object oriented Nextstep operating system the granddaddy of OpenStep and in turn OS X, the operating system on which I am writing this as we speak. Later on he went to acquire the computer graphics division of Lucasfilm Ltd. which he named Pixar and became a company that changed the movie industry with the movie Toy Story. My kids and millions of others enjoy watching every frame of this movie ‘till this day.

                                Even if you did not own a single Apple product, the fact that you no longer use floppy disks or USB connections and buy your music in a digital format can be attributed in one way or another to Steve Jobs.

                                I had a boss ones that was an absolute perfectionist and no one liked working for him, but everyone respected him because he was the best at what he did with computers and technology. He thought me a valuable lesson: “It’s OK to be an asshole only if you are the very best at what you do.“ Respect is more valuable than sympathy. The day I go, I want people to say that SOB was really good at what he did.

                                Well, Steve Jobs was the absolutely very best at what he did and people respected him for it. His vision of technology made Apple devices accessible to people who didn’t even like technology. Now that is true genius, make things simple, but useful. Someone once told me that the best programmers are not those who can write millions of lines of code, but those that can write only a few lines that do one thing right every time.

                                Om Mailk at Gigaom.com writes “Why doesn’t the world realize that my Elvis is dead!” and I have to agree. Everyone knew that Steve was battling cancer for years, but no one was preparing for his passing. We all wanted to believe that “Teh Steve” will live forever and will keep presenting us with his “magical” vision of technology that changed everyone’s life.

                                You changed the world Steve and your legacy will live forever!

                                So, you keep hearing and reading all the buzz about storing your data in "The Cloud" and synchronizing your data between your multiple devices such as work computer, home laptop, smart phone and tablet. However if you are like me you are concerned about privacy.

                                I know you know how to use your browser but have you ever wondered what happens beyond your computer. Find out what are the basic building blocks of the Internet and how do they interact with each other and everything else. This of those building blocks as the engine, transmission and tires of the Internet. Interested?

                                Take a look at Leo Laporte and Steve Gibson at the Twit Network explaining this and other cool things, such as the lame phone "hacking" scandal that is rocking Rupert Murdock:

                                Multiple user accounts on iPad! Finally! 07/14/2011

                                Now check this out. After you jailbreak your iPad as described in the previous post you can now add a program called iUser that will let you have multiple user accounts on your iPad. This is absolutely great and needed feature for those of us who share our iPads with other users.
                                iUsers is designed by Pedro Franceschi. If you would like to try it add http://cydia.iblogeek.com/ as a source and install iUser.

                                If you have been waiting patiently for Comex to release his jailbreak for iPad 2, your wait is over. Just go to http://www.jailbreakme.com/ and Enjoy JailbreakMe 3.0! This will allow you the freedom to install any programs available on your "i" device, not just those approved by Apple.

                                Have Fun!

                                I just returned to Colorado from HITEC 2011 in Austin, TX and enjoyed my time there tremendously. The new technology in the exhibition hall was exiting for a geek like me and Austin is a great town. However did you know that Austin is home to one of the largest urban bat colonies in the world! It is pretty amazing to see. Millions of bats streaming out from bellow a bridge at about 8:30 pm each evening. I have never seen anything like this before.
