Sidekick II Easter Egg (Unconfirmed)

Sidekick II Easter Egg (Unconfirmed) 09/23/2004 07:13 AM

Typing " @(^o^)@ " in the Sidekick 2 AIM client creates a monkey smiley.

Adding a "v" or a "_" instead of the "o" makes different monkey gestures.

Reader Nick J writes in with this little blip about a surprise yesterday.

"Hey joel, not sure if this is news, but t-mobile sent my company 3 treo 650s as a thank-you for renewing a bunch of cell phone accounts. i hadn't heard anything official about t-mobile supporting treo 650, but this is clear evidence."

Anyone else heard anything concrete about this?

Unconfirmed: T-Mobile Gives Danger
Security Deadline 03/23/2005 12:46 PM

A source near T-Mobile's high level security teams has informed Gizmodo that the carrier has given an informal ultimatum to Danger, the company that produces the hit Sidekick and Sidekick II. The problem isn't the device itself, but the security of the backend servers, which Danger also manages. If the security issues plaguing the platform are not fixed, says our source, T-Mobile intends to stop selling the Sidekick.

Although the security issues on the Sidekick platform are far from a new development, the Paris Hilton Sidekick Hack made it a much more prominent issue (and ironically, increased Sidekick sales). We've been told that T-Mobile has limited Danger's access to T-Mobile customer data to a bare minimum in an attempt to mitigate any possible future leaks.

Danger could not be reached for comment, but it's also the wee hours of the morning in California, so no foul. We hope to confirm this information as soon as possible, since it could affect not only Danger, but all users of the Sidekick platform.

Update: We've been informed that the date of the security ultimatum is July 1st, 2005.

Unconfirmed: Sony to Replace Dead Pixel
PSPs 03/28/2005 10:30 AM

This is far from an official word, but PSP Takeover is reporting that Sony is providing free replacement PSPs for those who have two or more dead pixels (well, free plus shipping). Sony's US customer support isn't open yet (8AM PST), but we'll try to give them a ring later in the day to see what's up.

Nintendo was replacing any DS with a dead pixel, not two or more, so hopefully Sony will meet that challenge.

There is word afoot that SP-2 does something we wouldn’t like. Although Microsoft insists that it’s a security measure, SP-2 is said to limit the number of TCP/IP open connections. Not a serious issue, you think? Well, think again. How do you suppose all those programs that work to accelerate your downloads do their magic? Yep- they open multiple TCP/IP pipes to one or more Internet locations and download your files in what seems like…

Rumor Of The Day: New iSights 09/13/2004 10:44 AM
O'Grady's PowerPage: Details are sketchy, but one can assume that the new iSight camera will have more features to better work with the H.264/AVC video technology coming in Mac OS 10.4.
In related news, Apple is also secretly working on successors to the PowerBook, iBook, Power Mac, and iMac. Some will have modest upgrades, while others will be more "exciting." Apple intends to release new versions some time in the future, on a date which we have yet to be confirm. :-)

Our friends over at TheJawa.com have uncovered a new rumor list of potential new Original Trilogy Collection toys we may (or may not) see in the future. Many of these items have been rumored for the Saga line in the past, and there's a good mix of new/rehashed toys. As always, nothing is official yet, although I can confirm at least one item on the list...and no, I'm telling which one.

But, AppleInsider is saying that there will be more products being launched too. (I hope it's more than just the expected iSight update.)

Rumor Mill: EvDO in NYC?

Rumor Mill: EvDO in NYC? 08/27/2004 01:30 PM
Rumors are flying that Verizon is in the midst of building out EvDO in New York City: NYC will serve as a crucial example of how the higher-speed mobile data networks compete next to Wi-Fi. Both networks have upsides in the city. Wi-Fi is higher speed, lower cost, and available in many places. EvDO will be lower speed, higher cost, but available in more places (although cellular coverage is notoriously bad in the city). At the end of the day, there's a niche for both networks and if the price is right, enough customers for both....

Do you buy the Apple Tablet rumor?

Do you buy the Apple Tablet rumor? 12/02/2003 01:58 AM
Ever since Bob Cringley posted his November 27th article titled, "Apple's Tablet Computer Might Finally Be That Link Between Your PC and TV" the Mac web has been abuzz in renewed Mac tablet/PDA speculation. We've heard it all before. Pre-MacWorld Expo Tablet Hysteria is as predictable as Pre-Millennium Armageddon Panic and, historically, just as likely to be accurate.

What do you say? Will 2004 be "The Year of the Tablet"? Sound off in our web poll!

The Atari Landfill Rumor

The Atari Landfill Rumor 03/22/2005 04:31 PM

Five Million E.T. Pieces: I missed this link in my prior post about The Video Game Crash of 1983. It's a great look at what happened to Atari in the early 80's. It ends by confirming the rumor that millions of game cartridges ended up in a landfill somewhere.

[...] Atari, stuck with millions of games and consoles that were largely unsellable at any price, sent fourteen truckloads of merchandise from their plant in El Paso, Texas, to be dumped in a city landfill in Alamogordo, New Mexico in late September 1983. In order to keep the site from being looted, steamrollers crushed and flattened the games, and a concrete slab was poured over the remains.

Why would someone "loot" old E.T. cartridges? I think Atari was just afraid of a picture of all those cartridges ending up in a newspaper somewhere.

Rumor Today: AppleWorks X

Rumor Today: AppleWorks X 08/05/2004 06:05 PM
The source of the rumor? A listing for an upcoming book entitled "Ap pleWorks X for Mac OS X: A Visual Quickstart Guide."
I hope what this means is that Apple, in addition to Keynote, has now a word processing and a spreadsheet application. And AppleWorks X is a suite consisting of all these applications, plus, perhaps with a version of FileMaker Pro.
And, hopefully, like the current AppleWorks/ClarisWorks, the entire suite is also available for Windows.
One can dream, can't I?

All eyes are going to be on Seattle this coming week as I received a phone call today from a listener who filled me in on some information that he had received. Expect some very HUGE announcements, to happen during Gnomedex from at least two companies.

I have the story already written minus some details if I can get a cross confirmation from another source I am debating on saying anything because that would spoil some of the fun. I would also hate to have a lawyer come after me for breaking this so it will have to wait for now.

What has it been now a couple of years since the original iPod was released and people are still running around saying that there is going to be this device or that device that will knock the iPod off it's pedestal. Some company can only hope they get that lucky. Slashdot has the latest rumor and until a product is seen and tested all this talk is just vaporware. [Slashdot ]
