Happy Thanksgiving 2009
Nov 26
Anyone inside of the island of N. America, Happy Thanksgiving 2009. Hope you are spending time with your family and eating all the turkey you can. In the mean tme, I am working on notitlenoname.com, and will soon have it up completly. Right now, it is under construction, but you can always go back and watch our previous epsodes at YouTube.com/trails247. Otherwise, eat, eat, eat!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!
So I was on digg (as I am everyday..) and I was reading this article about Steve Jobs being a man of few words, and I absolutely LOVED it!!! This was a great read, but I had to laugh at his reply, it had the “Sent from my iPhone” signature attached! I remember reading an article somewhere saying that it was no longer o.k. to do that, and that you were just being a doucebag if you still had that on your emails.
Well, king of douchebags is still doing it, so I call it now, it’s still o.k.!
Has anyone questioned At&t and why we don’t have tethering yet on the iPhone? Have we just completely forgot that we were told that we would have it by the end of summer this year??? It was talked about that we would pay an extra $10 for the option (above the $30 for unlimited data) as do the blackberry users. This information was presented to us at the time of release of the iPhone 3.0 OS. When the iPhone 3GS was launched across the globe, many countries got this feature right off the bat, along with MMS! At&t dropped the ball and we didn’t get MMS until September!!!! Surprisingly, they didn’t even charge extra for having a feature that my black Razr V3 had like 7 years ago!!!! Here we are, going into the Christmas season of 09′ and we still have no road map or anything telling us when it is coming!

The good thing is, I’m not a newby iPhone user and I have jailbroken mine. (Mind you, I don’t know how it actually works, but at least I can download the software and get out from the apple chains!!!) I actually updated my carrier file to 5.0 before Apple updated to 3.1 and I’ve had tethering enabled for quite a while now, and it didn’t require a jailbreak! Before that, I was using iPhoneModem 3.0, which I still use every now and then if I don’t have the USB cable.
There are plenty of other options out there as well, and a few that made it into the iTunes App store, but were eventually pulled. To be honest, I really don’t use the option that much, as I am either at work, home or even school where there is wireless that I can hope on. The only time I don’t use work or school and iPhone modem instead is when I want to do some financial transaction.
You can see where this post got inspired from:

Vimeo announced last week that they will be joining the ranks of YouTube and now be supported on the iPhone. They have not done the entire site, but just the staff picks and HD sections for now. All you have to do is find a link and it will play within Safari on the iPhone. Now this will also work with Android based phones as well, so all of you who just bought the DROID on verizon can watch as well. This will hopefully spread the love for Vimeo if you don’t already know what it is. See a screen shot stolen from CNET below:

YouTube now going 1080p HD
Nov 16
YouTube will still be serving up its millions of videos, but now a select few will be in pretty new 1080p. Mr Steve Chen (co-founder) announced this information last Thursday NewTeeVee Live conference. Now this will be a step up from the current HD offering that is in 720p. YouTube will keep the current offerings available for those on the lower end of the broadband spectrum and those not wanting to wait for the buffering it will take to load these videos.
