My Nokia 6300 behaves like a flash or thumb drive when I connect it to a computer using an USB cable. I think this should be standard functionality nowadays. Cellphones are replacing the Filofax and MP3 players. I can read mail on my cellphone, take pictures and movies. It contains an 4GB memory stick, sometimes even …

I just came across this great post about creating captivating content. The punchline: It's not about getting the scoop, it's about finding the cowbell and amplifying it. More funny cowbell references: * Alex Johnson's version the popular [playstation …

She was a bit worried about getting used to the new machine, but decided to take the risk. After no more than 3 days, with surprisingly little help, she figured out how …

I was watching the WWDC2008 text feeds yesterday (like the one from Engadget), and today the WWDC2008 video is online. It's always better to watch this than to read an interpreted twitter feed.

The guy at the PC repair shop warned my dad that "we may need to wipe the HD, do you have a backup"? Ofcourse, all data was backed up daily and "off-site" at my house so all important …

For MacBreak Weekly listeners this is old news, but actually there is a much better version of the video clip. This version is done on a Mac, …
