Talking Tech is what I do

Remote Support - TeamViewer saves the day.

I just had to help someone re-install all version of .NET because one version was corrupted. What a pain, lots of restarts. BUT, TeamViewer saved the day. I was able to restart the computer remotely and connect back and authenticate after reboot, all without any interaction on the other end. TeamViewer is seriously a life-saver.

Please Stop Making New Phones With Old Firmware

Unfortunately, this is another huge downside to Android.

Folders

iOS multitasking and the new AT&T data plans.

In order to use the new iOS multitasking, iPhone apps will have to be re-written. I imagine there will be a push to release a lot of app updates in the next few weeks.

Therefore I wonder, if you are on the new iPhone data plan, specifically the 200MB plan, how will all these new updates affect your data usage. Or do most people update through iTunes?


Either way, I seriously predict AT&T is shooting itself in the foot with these rate changes, and will reach a 'tipping point' soon, where they be forced to re-address this issue.

Internet Explorer has security flaws? and this is news?

It almost seems trivial posting another Internet Explorer security flaw, but what caught my eye was the statistic that said "Together, IE 6 and IE 7 command close to 40 percent of the browser market."

MSN video now Bing video (And I care why?)

I sometimes wonder to myself how much of these name changes are real changes, and how much of this is just Microsoft changing product names to get back into the news.

Spotify delays US launch

Spotify is now saying they are delaying their U.S. release.

Note to Apple: Where is your iTunes subscription store!?!?
