News Blip: " RIM Planning To Support Full Flash And Silverlight In The BlackBerry Browser By Next Summer?!" WTF? Ok by next summer rim is telling us they will be only 2 years behind the rest of the mobile world. They are unofficially the laughing stock of the mobile browser market. Not hurting sales so far, as the YUTH market seems to adore BB's.

Ok...China is the ONLY place in the world other then USA you can see the famous, mobile-a-saurus, yes its circa 2004BC style mobiles for sale. Thats about 89 pounds (GBP) for that klunky piece of crap. Motorola is mostly dead, i think they are transitioning to ZOMBIE MOBILE CORP ZMC... at theaters near you >"The Mobile That NeVeR Died"<.... shees

Just a quick picture of the little bugger. Isn't it a cutie. All small and such... remember, to care for your router don't feed it after midnight.

If your living in china behind the stone wall of failure. It's time you did something about it. Step 1) subscribe to your pptp vpn provider of choice Step 2) Go buy one of these things, at 250 rmb belkin router supports PPTP internally which means it does the the vpn for you and voila all your connecting computers/mobiles/laptops are wild and free

After a light mornings reading. I have come to the conclusion that the SONY PS3 is doomed unless sony get their finger out, support the dev's more, LOWER the prices, and encourage more developers. Valve has announced that they are NOT CONSIDERING FURTHER DEV'S for the PS3. Other dev houses have come out and stated similar actions. Wither PS3

From my only in America Category: California police stopped a man after reports he tried to sell an HDTV at a Wal-Mart parking lot. However! It turned out to be a plastic-wrapped glass oven door with Sony and Best Buy stickers.

Um so TOM TOM navigator goes on sale for 84 dollars in New Zealand, I hope it comes with the sheep advoidance detector for that prices. I mean come on, I can buy a tom tom dedicated unit for 100 dollars. TOM TOM for iphone is already a failure at that price, I am sure many will stay away. Tom Tom better rethink its pricing....

Just Finished going to the "Linkin Park" Concert, (Shanghai Stadium) in short it was great, and SHORT @ 75min long. Paid 500 rmb or 50 pounds, 75 usd for 1 ticket in a good area,great outside weather in good venue with nice sound and good atmosphere. But it was a bit short at 75 min only... they just said thanks and walked off at the end.

ok uber(stupid)twitter caved under the shit storm of complaints about the ads, and just disabled the ads until the paid for version is ready. i can see loads of people just dumping ubertwitter. tanks for the beta, i wont be paying for the bloated upgrade and its creeping feature list.

The Ads In UberTwitter Beta 4 Aren’t Going Over Too Well.... ubertwitter WAS a great twitter client for the blackberry series of mobiles. Until twitter was banned in china anyway. Recently they decided to introduce ad's well, I have deleted and wont be going back. Off to twitteriffic. ...

Everyone is talking about the New Jesus Phone replacement. "Who needs an Iphone, you think you hate it now, wait until you try it :)"

Was Just in Malone's for a late lunch, and the photographers were taking pictures of FOOD and Drinks :) With all the lights, reflectors and managers, you would think the Malone's Cheeseburger was a cousin of naomi campbell. I asked and received the 2 free drinks, shame to let them go to waste. (Think, happy laowai, wobble) (New Menu Soon)

Meanwhile outside my front door in Zhang Jiang Gao Ke, they are doing dry runs or the new SPIFFY TRAMS. On time, On Budget and kind of space bubble looking. (Edinburgh you listening... hire these guys) Trams open for people end of 2009, or sooner :)

Edinburgh has been destroying their city with putzing around with ATTEMPTING to build a tram system that really only goes from the airport (maybe) to where the politicians work. Forget the rest of us that need it to go where we live. Anyway Edinburgh will fumble about until 2011/2012 I guess until they finish 3x over budget.

Todays screaming headline for mobile news is: "Rim says it's mobile browser will be as good as Mobile Safari by next summer June 2010" umm... RIM, I got news for you, your already 2 years behind, and are beginning to be the laughing stock of the mobile surfing world next to windows mobile 6.xx. Don't get me wrong, I like my blackberry, but the...

Ok so its hot, and muggy in shanghai, which means the AC is maxed out, the desktop computers keep crashing, either with spyware, viruses or green damn software. I just run mac's and generally never have any issues. But even I have not needed to use a GAS POWERED LEAF BLOWER, switched from blow to SUCK to keep my CRAPTOP COOL.....
