    Keith Combs
    I thought it looked like a new bazooka or ray gun, but as it turns out, it’s a video camera for a first person view.  Might have some interesting applications.  See http://www.looxcie.com/ for more information.

  • Blog Post: Lenovo ThinkPad X301 - mini review

    Keith Combs
    I've been using the Lenovo ThinkPad X301 for almost three weeks now so before too long I'll have to return the eval unit I have.  With that in mind I thought now would be a good time to run down all of the pro and cons for the unit I have. You'll be happy to know there are very few cons.  But...

  • Blog Post: The best Windows Mobile 6.1 phone on the market?

    Keith Combs
    I have a Palm Treo Pro arriving tomorrow.  It was a pretty tough decision to purchase the device.  The primary reason is because it is an expensive device.  But in the end the funding came through in some unexpected ways so I made the plunge. A little over a year ago, I managed to luck...

    Keith Combs
    I recently had the opportunity to take a look at the Lenovo ThinkPad W500 (model 4061-2KU).  This machine is really similar to my ThinkPad T61p in many ways, but there are some improvements that have been made in some key areas.  Click the image at right for a high resolution image of the ThinkPad...

  • Blog Post: Windows Vista Resource Kit - in the wild

    Keith Combs
    The astute know the Windows Vista Resource Kit is shipping and in the wild. When I arrived at my house Friday, my copy was sitting on the front door step. I'm surprised UPS didn't charge extra for the weight. The resource kit book is huge. 1500+ pages huge. The microsoft.com/mspress area strangely...

  • Blog Post: I am in the dark

    Keith Combs
    After two years, my fiber connection is dark. Verizon is switching my account from business to residential so this is one of the steps toward that end. My cable provider has also been canceled and they picked up my television set top boxes. So I am without a cable tv feed or high speed internet access...

  • Blog Post: Seattle wind storm - webcasts canceled

    Keith Combs
    FYI, there was a rather serious storm last night in the Pacific Northwest area of the US. As a result, many people are without power and that is having an impact on a variety of services. As I understand it, we won't be delivering the 10 webcasts that were scheduled for today. A lack of power has impacted...

    Do you ever look to the past to see what the future holds? You should. I cut my computer teeth long before most people. My computer heritage goes back to my diapers. Dear Dad was a career IBMer and I was playing with IBM Selectric typewriters and dictaphones long before most people had ever seen Lotus...

    Keith Combs
    But lets face it, the Ferarri F430 isn’t. Therefore, I am going to side with Italy for the big game. Sorry France but I have to pick someone and they make the Ferrari. Oh, and I am totally kidding about football boredom. How would you like to be one of those security guys with the red shirts...

  • Blog Post: VPN Is Dead - here's your new killer app

    Keith Combs
    One of my favorite features of all time is RPC Over HTTP. Most of you are familiar with it because it allows Outlook to encapsulate RPC calls inside a HTTP packet or frame. That frame must of course travel across the internet to your “Front-End” server or proxy. All of that voodoo just makes...

    Keith Combs
    I wasn’t kidding when I said my Cingular Audiovox SMT 5600 was obsolete . Verizon made it easy for me. They dropped my employee discounted price to the “get off the fence” price point. I picked up my Motorola Q at the local CircuitCity store a couple of days ago. They have a rather...

  • Blog Post: My phone is obsolete

    Keith Combs
    For the past six weeks, my phone has been displaying the roaming indicator. It started to get a bit disconcerting because I would even see it here at my house. It annoyed me a bit because like most of you, I had my ActiveSync settings tweaked so that it would only sync manually if roam was indicated...

    It’s been almost a year since I discussed anything regarding my PSP. Let me first say it’s still one of my favorite gadgets. I use it mostly for watching video while in airports, on planes, etc. I have a few games but I find that the video aspect is what compelled me to buy the thing in the...
