Daily Clerks

Looks like my favorite browser developers and the fastest growing browser with over 25 million downloads is planning to move their Minimo broswer for portable devices from linux to the Windows CE. This could be really awesome as I have a windows powered pda (don’t hate me), and it would be a great change from using the standard IE. BLAH!

C’mon guys, let’s totally support these guys and get them to take over the PDA market as well! Woohoo!!!

Not content with just news that Apple has updated their iPod or that they may be making an Apple with a cell processor, here is some more news!

According to this reuters article, it looks like Apple may try to buy TiVo.

This would really take the point home that Apple will be vying to be the home media center, or at least try to get their foothold and ultimately stranglehold over the home network. This and the fact that they came out with the cool Mac mini seems to really be showing the road that Steve and Co. are planning to go down.

If this story holds out to be true, I will be utterly impressed, as they will probably come out with the sickest device that will be so easy to use that even a caveman could use it!

Only time will tell, or more accurately, only Wall Street disclosures will tell.

Looks like PalmOne is trying to make amends for their lack of foresight and not incorporating wi-fi with their new handhelds. It looks like they are now offering a free wi-fi card when you buy the Tungsten T5.

Not exactly sure how you would go about getting it, it looks like you have to call them directly or something.

But it does save you some money, b/c those wi-fi cards go for $129.

There is a lot of news floating out today because of the iPod updates, but something that was floating around that piqued my interest was this little article. It’s a really great read about the possibility of getting the cell processor into an Apple and why and how it would work.

Of course it’s just speculation because it would take some time to actually make it happen, but if and when it does, it’s going to be SUPER AMAZING!

Take some time and read the article below.

The new iPods were announced. Expect to see more news at AppleWatch. Pretty much a disappointment if you tell me. So the minis got a storage bump, and now come in 4GB and 6GB sizes. There is a new camera accessory to the photo iPods that will let you grab pictures off of your digital camera directly.

This news blows, as we were all hoping to see bluetooth become available as well as color screens on the minis. That would have officially rocked the boat. But we will all just have to wait and see what’s in store during the next updates. I want to see the color iPods have video playback capability, maybe not on it’s small screen, even though that would rock, but at least have a video out be able to play divx, wmv, avi, mpeg-4, so that I can just dump movies and what not onto it and plug it into a tv where ever I go and watch the movie. Of course you’d have to integrate the sound out into the cable too. Ahh….iPod dreams…

Looks like someone posted some of the hacked pics and address books of Paris Hilton. Some intersting pics, if they are real. I must admit, she has some nice boobies. =D. But the most interesting part is the address book. Man, she got all of these people in there. It’d be interesting to see how long the numbers will be in service, as I’m sure that everyone and their mothers are calling those people right now.

Take a gander while it’s up.

Oh boy. I can’t beleive some people. Yes this chick is cute, albeit, pretty hot, but it’s amazing to see how many people have already dedicated so many sites to her.

Mandy Amano, you have just become one of the most sought after girls in geekdom…until the next hot chick that’s into comics comes around that is.

This blog made by Justin of Michigan has been the one linked to from many other sites, so I’ll do my part and link to it as well.

One thing I must say is that she is pretty hot. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what else she shows up on so these fanboys can put up some more pics.

mmmm…..

It finally came around. Someone had to come up with a way to burn those legally obtained music to cds, whereas it normally costs .99 to burn it. And it’s happened with Napster’s To GO service.

The service itself is isn’t too bad, as you can get an unlimited amount of music for $15 a month, with the only downside being that when you stop paying the monthly service, you lose all of your music. I said in an earlier review that this really isn’t a bad deal in itself, as you would potentially spend hundreds of dollars to fill your ipod. I actually know people that have done this.

So anyhow, this is cool.

Practical how to:
(credit goes to warlock1711 of club.cdfreaks.com for discovering this loophole)

0. Download and install Napster, sign up for 14 day free trial.

1. Download and install Winamp

2. Download and install the Winamp Plug-in Output Stacker

3. Open Winamp Options->Plug-ins->Output->Dietmar’s Output Stacker->Configure
a. Add out_ds.dll from Winamp/Plug-ins folder
b. Add out_disk.dll from Winamp/Plug-ins folder
c. Select out_disk.dll in the Output Stacker->Configure
d. Set the output directory and output file mode to Force WAV file
e. Exit preferences

4. Load downloaded Napster protected WMAs into your Winamp playlist

5. Press play and each file will be converted to WAV as it plays

6. Burn WAVs to CD with your favorite burning program

What do you do when you have loads of burned dvds with divx movies, tv shows and whatever else you want to watch? Do you just connect your computer to your tv? Or do you get one of the greatest dvd players in the world for $65?

I used to connect my computer to my tv and watch whatever shows I burned but its gotten to be a hassle, as the sound needs to be pumped through my machine. This gets really annoying. Now there is this divx certified dvd player from Phillips. Well, it’s been out for a bit and word on the street is that it rocks! I finally bit the bullet and got one and it is simply awesome. It plays anything I can throw at it.

My only real gripe is the remote does leave me wanting. I mean, I guess that’s where they cut corners to keep costs down. But overall, I am definitely happy with this one.

If you are looking to upgrade your old dvd player or just want one that can do more, then get this!
