Blackberry Coming on Strong with new Stuff

Blackberry is introducing new APIs for there 5.0 software. This will definnitely make their phone more competitive as new smartphones come quickly into the marketplace. The new APIs will significantly enhance productivity, functionality, and entertainability. Push functions, in third party apps is a big thing. As new apps come on line with push functionality, your message box will become increasingly important and useful.
At Research in Motion’s BlackBerry Developer Conference Monday, the company made a slew of announcements that aim to boost the platform’s appeal to developers.[Source]
The message box is already a communications dynamo. It integrates all of your email, sms, mms, and instant messaging into a single inbox. How much better can it get? Apparently much better. More message, more consolidation, more features.

The first thing to do it get lighttpd installed with php and mysql working smoothly. Rather than reiterating the same content here is a convenient post:

Interesting options and various configuration for lighttpd can be found here:

One insteresting, built in, option is throttling. Use connection.kbytes-per-second and you can effectivly limit users to particular data transmission rates. [...]

Oh, given my previously elabored backup configuations I have one further thing I would like to do. Since backup 1, and 2 are only used once per day I would like to spin down the hard drivers to increase longevity. I figured dismounting the drive would be effective, but I have encountered several things. First, [...]

Apparent there is either a sensitive aspect to iPhone software, or an integrated kill mechanism. I have a friends iPhone that simply cannot be restored. There is an error 9 that cannot be avoided. I have placed the phone in DFU mode, which is apparently the ultimate restore mode, from which even the most damaged [...]

I had an iPhone. I had at&t. I no longer have an iPhone. I no longer have at&t. I posted a while ago an at&t coverage map of my neighborhood. At&t says there is coverage. There is not coverage; at least not what is claimed. The map is not correct. The map says there is [...]

Hey, don’t get me wrong the new Droid sounds pretty cool. It has the new Android 2.0 software, which is an improvement, or next generation of the original Android software introduced by Google a while back on T Mobile’s network. I like Google products. I like Verizon products. Mixing the two together makes a product [...]

iphone OS 3.1.2 has been jailbroken again, allowing users to do whatever they like with the gadgets they’ve bought.[Source]
The iPhone can use any carrier particularly TMobile instead of at&t. I had an iPhone for a long time, but ultimately the GSM bottleneck of the device is a tremendous downfall. On at&t MMS took unnecessarily too [...]

I’ve hit this topic before, but nowadays its become much more simpler. In older releases of Ubuntu you needed to add the codecs separately, and sometimes even add a third party repository. No you just have to install the restricted extras package.
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
Now you can play for music, your videos, and watch [...]

The best of both worlds is not achievable. Your Blackberry is the ultimate communications device. The messages folder consolidates all email, SMS, MMS, and instant message communications into a single icon. The instant messaging feature further consolidates AIM, MSN Messenger, Blackberry Messenger, and countless other services. The messages folder also accecpts facebook notifications, and makes [...]

Head over to business.yahoo.com, or Godaddy and buy a domain. Godaddy is cheaper, Yahoo is more expensive, both will get the job done. Having your own domain is like owning a piece of property. You can build whatever your want. You can post whatever signs you want. You can yell or sit quietly in the [...]
