BitTorrent looks to release syncing app…

You know for a platform that tries to get itself legitimized into proper things, it’s kind of odd that it took BitTorrent the P2P protocal long enough to brainstorm and come up with “hey why don’t we use our protocol for p2p SYNCING, i mean we have the network working why not just add the algorithm to sync folders between computers, i mean they already have the bitlevel hashing algorithms done…..

Well looks like someone at BT finally figured it out and they are now working on “Sync” their P2P sync application using the bittorrent protocol. So basically BitTorrent’s version of a DropBox.

Web Design and Hosting Review

Chris Chance — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 22:43:00 +0000

I am a psychotherapist with a recently opened private practice and was looking for some options for web design and hosting. I knew absolutely nothing about setting up a web page or developing any type of online presence. I first heard of Network Solutions at the suggestion of a colleague who had been with their work. After looking up the company and finding glowing reviews, I decided to go for it. I’m finding I could not be happier, particularly after hearing some of the horror stories from colleagues going through the same process.

Setting up my website was, honestly, an absolute breeze. I received exactly what I was looking for as simply and quickly as possible. From the very beginning, I was able to understand where I was in the process. I easily went from a simple idea to the fruition of an actual website. It’s crazy to think I have my own website now!

The prices were fantastic, particularly compared to some competing companies and I’ve have no issues whatsoever with service. I decided to use a personalized email through my website and find the interface is very easy to use and fits seamlessly with my smartphone, so I’m still able to interact with clients on the go. There was only one point that required me to phone in and actually speak with someone. They were patient and spoke to me in a way I could easily understand. I would choose Network Solutions for web design and hosting again.

Windows 8 Release Preview… ITS INCOMING

Chris Chance — Thu, 31 May 2012 15:19:42 +0000

Well we knew it was coming but Microsoft apparently on a roll lately, is actually preempting there “First week of June” release timeframe by planning to release it On the 31st a Day early. It was leaked due to a mistakenly posted blog post announcing it that went up what appears to be a few hours too soon.

That said we haven’t got the official download links yet but as soon as they are out please check back and we’ll hook you up with the direct links to grab the new release.

For those that bitched, this is build 8400 that’s coming not 8250, RELEASE PREVIEW NOT CONSUMER PREVIEW. There’s been people on a bunch of sites whining that don’t realize there’s a difference between release and consumer previews.

Update: It’s HERE! I know i was late as hell as updating this post with the download link

On the bright side the fact that i’m so late does come with the nice fact that i have managed to get a good look at everything, and while theres no huge glaring changes in the Release preview the big boys at microsoft have done an awesome job fixing some of the smaller and more annoying changes as well as just truely hardening up the entire process to make it a solid new platform that i’m pretty sure will make everyone happy when it does go RTM.

They have been adjusting and tweaking so much, but that’s to be expected since the new platform has to be able to support brand new mouses and keyboards and graphics cards, to slightly old hp 1200′s that we might be using in our offices.

We have already switched our entire office over to the new OS or atleast major parts of the technical department as a way to see how things will preform when we have to roll it out for the rest of the company. And after a few days of the new start screen driving people nuts everyones back to chugging along and i must say it is nice to sit at 1 screen and see updates…. I can’t wait till some of the corporate apps get live tiles so we can watch the start screen for emails/alerts/and other items from both the internet and our internal corp software platforms.

RIM in biiiiigggg trouble

Chris Chance — Wed, 30 May 2012 03:57:17 +0000

I work for probably the last company on earth that still sells Blackberry’s as our primary product, then again I live in a pretty backwater island. I’ve told people constantly that we need to get a move on catching up with the way the rest of the world is going I mean you go to the US and you will nearly NEVER see a blackberry, even windows is starting to slowly make a comeback seeing EU rising to over 3% recently meanwhile news has hit that RIM’s Manufacturer warehouses are apparently sitting on… wait for it … ONE BILLION DOLLARS worth of merchandise LMFAO!

Seriously this isn’t me making it up, and this figure is RIM’s warehouse. NOT the retailers store rooms, which by a walk through manhattan recently is anything to go by any stock said retailers had, is probably majorly gathering dust as no one is even considering buying them.

I’m still trying to catch up on what all happened but I also hear that trading on RIM stock has been or will be suspended, and that RIM is currently hiring outside bank’s and research groups to recommend how to move forward. At this point I think everything is on the block from selling out their patents or the company itself, to bide time until there new OS is ready and then truly pray for a miracle that it gets picked up fast.

This coming hot on the heels of more and more executives seeing the writing on the wall apparently as they leave, all of executive positions with the company. A lot more than just a company shakeup from even the minor observers. At the rate that RIM is going there going to have to have a huge amount of US Money Reserves to be able to pull this one out of the trash. I mean you’ve now got Microsoft announcements for WP8 upcoming and apple and google hitting HARD. they really needed to release there new OS like a year ago to even think about being competitive in this day and age.
