If you missed the memo (and the ensuing knockoffs), Eee’s are hot right now. Not only is some bank in Canada giving them away for free, but now PowerUp Mobile is as well.
UK customers who sign a two-year contract with PowerUp Mobile for T-Mobile’s Web n Walk broadband service will get not only a free Eee (2G), but also a free USB modem.
Again, this offer is outside the US, but maybe someday we’ll get a similar deal.
Don’t ask me how or why, but you can grab yourself a free copy of Hitman for a limited time (as in until Apple catches on). There’s a little glitch in iTunes that allows you to grab it for free, though after watching the first three minutes I decided free was just too high a price and deleted the film.
Check it out for yourself: In iTunes, click iTunes store, look for the “Browse” on Quick Links in the right hand side. Than, select “Movies” and then “Thriller”. Look for the title “Hitman”. You will see it is free (as pictured below) for the whole version at 1.06GB. I can download it and watch it successfully.
I just received an email from E*Trade, informing me that starting tomorrow they will be raising the interest rate on their Complete Savings accounts from 3.01% to 3.15%! Not a huge jump, but when you consider that the Fed just cut interest rates by 0.25% last week and most banks lower their interest rates when that happens, this is definitely good news.
It’s no secret that you could’ve grabbed a copy of SP3 off Microsoft’s server anytime in the last three months with nothing more than a simple registry hack (although up until this last week it wouldn’t have been a final release).
Gone however are the days of registry hacks, as Microsoft has released SP3 into the wild via Windows Update. As far as updates go, this one is pretty unexciting. Though I did notice a small boost in performance on most of the computers I installed it on.
This will certainly come in handy for anyone who builds/programs PCs, as now you don’t have to download 94 critical updates each time you install a fresh copy of XP, instead you can grab all those updates crammed into one download, copy it to a flash drive and save yourself a few hours work.
Pricing: Subscription based. $20 for 6 months, $35 for 1 year, $45 for lifetime subscription.
The developers of Kate (formerly Caterpillar) describe it as being “a commercial package of tools and toys to extend your iPhone”. While offering an all in one approach and slick settings management, Kate doesn’t really bring much to the table that can’t be gained from using multiple free packages.
Admittedly though, there is a certain appeal to only having to install one program to do a bunch of things.
After countless failed attempts, I finally got my iPhone working last night. I ended up having to restore it to 1.1.3 and then upgrading it to 1.1.4 and jailbreaking it with Liberty+.
Now comes the time consuming task of reinstalling all those applications.
