New iPhone coming - Bitstrips Friday

Posted by Jeffrey Powers on May 15th, 2008

Maybe someday I’ll get to sit and talk with Steve Jobs. Until then I’ll have to make up the interview in my head. Because there has been talk of the new iPhone coming out on June 9th. Also there has been talk of Apple getting the gamers with a new handheld system. So I just had to ask Steve….

Small Crisis Averted - iPod / Zune Giveaway status

Posted by Jeffrey Powers on May 15th, 2008

Today I was working on the site and the delete button jumped up and bit me! OW!

We had a small issue, and I had to restore the backup database. There were a couple tables that were restored from the weekly backup. There should be no data loss, but if you signed up for the site this week, you may have to do it again.

Speaking of signups - Some have been asking about the iPod - Zune Contest info. According to the rules I set up (found on the Giveaway Rules Page) I will be choosing a winner today. I will email that user and they will have 7 days to respond. Once a winner is acknowledged, I will post the results.

NEWay, thanks for being a part of the site and participating in the contest. I have taken your information to heart and will be using it down the road.

Dude? Where’s My Cell Phone? We don’t leave home without it.

Posted by Jeffrey Powers on May 14th, 2008

10 years ago I walked into the local dealer and picked up my first cell phone. I believe it was a Nokia 920. My work cell was a Motorola Clam Shell, then I believe a Nokia 720. I then got a 5100 series, followed by a 6300 series. 2 years ago I purchased the Razr3, and now I have an HTC 8125.

5 cell phones in 10 years. Throughout those times I have called, texted, surfed and played the occasional game of Bubble breaker. My phone has been by my side all this time. So has my wallet and keys. But which one would I want the most if I had to choose one?

IDC and Nortel Networks did a study to find out what is more important – your cell phone or your wallet. 38 percent of over 2000 people polled wanted their cell phone. 30 percent went for the wallet, while the remainder went for something else.

Video Tech - Problems Recording to uStream, justin.tv

Posted by Jeffrey Powers on May 12th, 2008

Before I recorded the 5 min show and Vocalo segments on Sunday, a user came on and had a problem with their ustream computer. I go through what we can do to deduce where the problem is.

Every Monday we have the LIVE SHOW which goes through tech items like this. 7PM EST.

In this Video we talk about:

1. un-Check the “Ustream High Quality Encoder”

2. Version of Flash

3. Trying the program in another browser.

*Note: if you have firefox with lots of plugins installed, you might want to either uninstall or use another browser.

4. Watch the processes to see why the computer crashes

5. Check the event log to see if any errors pop up.

In this case it looked like her video camera drivers were causing the problem.

Check the Video here:

Kimbalee has not gotten back as to if that problem worked or not yet. Will keep you posted…
