  1. Private Policemen on Cisco Evolving Into A Security Company · · Score: 2, Funny

    Cisco in Singaporehttp://www.cisco.com.sg/ is already a security company. They provide private policemen , armoured transport and have control over much of Singapores electronic infrastructure. They do have their fingers in more than just producing routers.

  8. Improvements to bluetooth on Wireless Bluetooth Sunglasses · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I like the idea of Bluetooth personal area networks. They just need to improve its implementation a little. 10 meter range is fine , but the devices need to be able to interact a bit better. For example I own a jabra headset , a bluetooth enabled phone (n-gage) , a bluetooth enabled PDA ( axim x50v ) and a usb adaptor for my laptop. I use the headset with my phone , and for skype(out) with my PDA and laptop, and utilising the audio gateway for voice notes on my PDA and laptop. I use bluetooth to install(sync) programs on my PDA from my laptop. I use my phone to control winamp on my computer.( Bemused ). My laptop and PDA use bluetooth to access the GPRS modem on my phone. I would like to see better bandwidth and implementation so all these devices can operate in harmony so I do not have to keep pairing , or initiating connections - I would like to see my devices that are paired operate simultanously.

  9. Re:Muddy PDA world on HP's New iPAQ hx2755 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I went for the dell axim x50v , built in 802.11 and BT left a CF and SD/MMC free for other uses. screen and video chip are just a bonus. I have successfully called mobiles and landlines with skypeout and my jabra BT headset. my phone now ( veritable n-gage ) only has GPRS , which is useful to connect my axim to the internet. As EDGE become more available , and phones incorporate EDGE and become cheaper I will upgrade my phone. WM2003se is not the greatest OS , but it is acceptable.

  10. Re:Well duh. on N-Gage No Longer Relevant · · Score: 1

    I lost my first n-gage so I went and got another one. The only gripe i have with it is it is only GPRS and not EDGE. as a previous poster said there is a lot of useful software that will run on the series 60 os. its bluetooth allows me to easily use it as a GPRS modem for both my laptop and PDA. If you intend to run down the n-gage , at least make sure you know what you are talking about and not just base your judgement on some fashion idea about sidetalking. its 104mhz processor and 4 meg of ram plus MMC card should be much more powerful than your first ever computer. the n-gage continually gets run down here - is this slashdot or a macdonalds drive through?

    HSBC has a good extra security measure. Unless you are transferring to an existing account template you must request an extra qualifing code which is then sms'd to the phone number you have registered with them. To change the phone number requires you to ring up customer service and using your phone banking code to verify yourself.

  15. Re:sidetalkin' on Nokia Announces 7710 PDA/GPS/Internet Phone · · Score: 0

    why do people not like sidetalking? Fashion conscious teenage girls maybe? they say in the specs a 128meg MMC card, which was the same in the specs for the N-gage, but so far 1 gig MMC's have been found to work. My N-gage is a legend machine, symbian OS has heaps of apps available, I use the opera minibrowser if I need to access a web page, though I will try mozilla's minimo when it come out. The only quibble I have with the phone is it does not have EDGE, but GPRS is acceptable for when I need to access the internet from places without wireless coverage or phone jacks.

    Dell X3 624mhz combo wifi bluetooth SD/MMC slot combine that with and EDGE and bluetooth capable phone. could then even make your phone calls via pocketskype, utilising your $20US all you can eat EDGE plan. 1gig MMC card (or 2 or 5gig) you just need to be running thin clients on the pda while you access your data(EDGE or 802.1x) thats sitting on the big hard drive on your desktop at home which is connected to the internet via DSL. maybe a video out so you can watch big screen TV/movies on the 15"flat panel display you keep in you suit/breifcase.

  17. Re:Bluetooth not "adopting" on Ericsson Pulls Bluetooth Division · · Score: 0

    Bluetooth is excellent for you own little personal area network. apart from all the other uses listed so far I use my bluetooth enabled phone to start and control winamp on my computer. bemused is the program I use to do this ( find it at sourceforge ), and if you want to be tricky with your next power point presentation you can control that too with your bluetooth enabled phone. using a symbian IM client (agile messenger ) I also connect via bluetooth to my desktop then onwards to the outside world... I bought my phone because it had bluetooth! the only other recommendations with the phone now would be that it has EDGE and is running symbianOS.

    how many of the people who deride sidetalking have ever used it? or are they worried they will look like a dork? the big news is you are a dork if you care what you look like when talking into a phone! I use my N-gage both with hands free and on the side, and have found that sideways the width of the phone fits snugly into my ear which makes it very easy to hear in loud enviroments. As for hotswapping your MMC card there are successful mods to allow you to do it and I am sure more are to come, though now it has been proven that you can fit a 1 gig card in it is less likely to bother you.! gig can fit a lot of movies,games,mp3s,book and other apps.

  25. mp3 file extensions on RIAA Threatens 15-Year-Old · · Score: 1

    Am I missing something here, or is a file residing on your hard drive a collection of binary. It has to be run through an interpreting client before it approximates the so called music the RIAA refers to.(have they been listening outside windows) (real)Musicians should be releasing their music for free online so as to encourage people to come and see them play live, and thus get paid for performing. They will have to play 5-6 gigs per week to earn a wage the same as the rest of the workers.It will weed out those who really do not want to play music, but only see it as a way to fame(??) and fortune(??)
