First, did you see the recent announcement of Amazon's new social feature integrating Facebook into your Amazon recommendations? This feature enables a Amazon Facebook page showing you the most popular books, DVDs, and more that are listed in your friend's Facebook profile. So if you like Journey, you can see which one of your friends also likes them.

... Xirrus - "Cut the Cord. No Wire to the Desktop - 100% wireless" - Rich Tehrani has an excellent interview with wireless visionary, serial entrepreneur and CEO of both Xircom and Xirrus, Dirk Gates in the TMC Newsroom. Xirrus Arrays provide super high-capacity 802.11 access points by utilizing cell phone tower technology used by wireless carriers and are capable of sending signals in three directions. TMC uses Xirrus XN8 to provide full coverage in TMC's office. As CTO I made the decision to go with Xirrus after Rich Tehrani brought Xirrus to my attention last year. I've been meaning to write a full review of Xirrus, but alas have been busy. Let's just say I am very pleased with this Wi-Fi product. If you are an IT manager, CTO or, CIO, and struggling with Wi-Fi issues, you seriously need to look at Xirrus. Here's a photo of the XN8 on the ceiling in TMC's corporate headquarters:... Jailbreaking and Ripping DVDs Now Legal in One Fell Swoop! - The copyright overlords have shined brightly this day upon us jailbreakers, phone unlockers, and DVD rippers. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) today won three exemptions to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) anti-circumvention provisions, which will bring a smile to those that enjoy the freedom to do with their legally owned iPhones and DVDs/Blurays as they please. In short, you have the right to: jailbreak your phone, install any app you please, use your mobile phone on any network (unlock), and copy DVDs/Blurays. This is huge news to pirates, hackers, and legitimate users simply trying to use their mobile phone on any mobile network. Hollywood and ... Microsoft Releases some Updates for Office Communications Server 2007 R2 - Microsoft just released some patches/updates to Office Communications Server 2007 R2.

Citi Launches Citi Text Banking - Today, Citibank launched Citi Text Banking, which gives you quick updates on your Citibank and Citi credit card accounts. All you have to do is send a short command to 692484 (MYCITI) and get account information on demand. Pretty cool feature. Now you don't have to logon via a mobile phone or PC browser to get a quick balance. Though Citi also has the iPhone Citibank app and that's pretty fast - though it requires a 5 digit PIN to logon.I just tried out the texting feature and it works great. For security purposes you have to send an activation code to your mobile phone to activate the service. Here are the text commands you can send:BAL : Check your Citi account balancesHIST... Google Voice Adds Faster dialing on Android and Blackberry devices - Google has some new updates to their Google Voice mobile apps for your Android and Blackberry phone fans (sorry iPhone fans - no update today for you!).According to Google:At Google we are obsessed with speed. Our mantra is faster = better. This is true for our Google Voice mobile apps as well. When you want to make a call, your phone should connect you as quickly as possible, whether you're calling via Google Voice or not.Today we are launching an enhancement to the Google Voice mobile app on Android and Blackberry phones, which makes placing calls much faster. We call this feature "direct access numbers."Read how they made it ... Skype for iPhone Multitasks & Drops Planned 3G Fee - Rich has the goods on the new Skype for iPhone app, which finally adds multitasking support to the iPhone iOS 4 operating system.

Attention All Startups in the VoIP Industry! - I thought I'd share some TMC news about a very cool opportunity TMC is providing to startup companies. At the next Internet Telephony Conference & Expo (ITEXPO), TMC will offer startup companies the ability to pitch their products and services. It was very successful at the last ITEXPO and so we decided to do it again. Here's the full news release including news about the keynote speaker: TMC and Embrase Business Consulting Announce Keynote Speaker, Platinum Sponsor for StartupCamp at ITEXPO Cloud Communications Innovator Twilio Returns; Xobni CEO Jeff Bonforte to Keynote Oct. 4 in Los Angeles Norwalk, CT, July 21... trixbox CE Training at ITEXPO - Kerry Garrison, formerly with Fonality, but now with 888VoipStore, is going to be part of the trixbox CE training that is happening at the next ITEXPO in Los Angeles. It's a great opportunity to roll up your sleeves and learn the ins and outs of trixbox CE, an Asterisk-based distro. ITEXPO has been doing trixbox training for some time now, and it's always well attended.According to Kerry: Titled "FtOCC CE Technician", the course provides telephony resellers and IT professionals with in-depth technical training on Fonality's Open Source trixbox CE, Asterisk-based PBX system.FtOCC CE Technician is being presented in collaboration with Fonality, a leading open source telephony company and 888VoipStore, the leading sourc... XO Communications Offers SIP Savings Estimator Tool - Today XO Communications launched their XO Enterprise SIP Savings Estimator, an online calculator to show users just how much money they can save by switching to SIP trunks. The online tool demonstrates how XO Enterprise SIP "Simplifies, Streamlines and Reduces Costs of Managing Voice Services Across Distributed Enterprise Networks".It's a useful tool, though the calculator is a bit strict in its assumptions and doesn't provide the maximum flexibility. For instance, TMC is just a single location, yet the calculator forces you to pick at least 5 separate locations. The vast majority of businesses are single locations yet can still save a lot of money using SIP trunks by eliminating T1/PRI and/or analog lines. Thus, I'd like to see them modify the calculator accordingly.... Blind Research Study Says Skype Users Prefer ooVoo - ooVoo told me they had recently commissioned a study with some interesting results, which will be released on Monday. A blind study conducted by a third party research firm revealed that ooVoo was preferred by 8 our of 10 Skype users.I couldn't help but reminded of the famous Trident slogan/study which said 4 out of 5 dentists preferred sugarless gum. In fact, it's exactly double! So is this study legit or manufactured? Was this study done by an independent research group o... Sign into Multiple Google Accounts Feature Coming! - Google is testing a new feature that allows you to sign in to multiple Google accounts in the same browser. Sweet! I hate signing out of one account and switching to another. Or worse, leaving Firefox and having to use Internet Explorer to sign onto another account. I suppose I could use Chrome. Still, it's a pain to toggle between Google accounts. Multiple sign-in only works for Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Reader, Google Docs, Google Sites and Google Code, but it's likely that other Google services will be added when this feature will be publicly available.According to Google Operating System, "If you use a service that doesn't support multiple sign-in, it will default to the first account that you signed in using your browser. Google suggests to use a different browser, but you can a... SkypeKit SDK Comes to Windows & Mac - Linux got the first from Skype when they launched the SkypeKit SDK on Linux before any other operating system. Today, Skype announced SkypeKit availability for both Mac and Windows. This enables almost any desktop application to offer Skype capabilities, including video, voice, and text without the need for users to separately download Skype software. As I've stated before, think of SkypeKit as a "headless" version of Skype - tha... fring vs. Skype War - A war between fring and Skype is heating up. fring fired the first salvo when they put out a release claiming Skype was blocking fring. fring wrote:For 4 years we have led mobile communication innovation, most recently with video calling on any advanced Smartphone and network.Now that fring expanded capacity to s... Kids take photos of Earth's curvature using Balloon and Help from iPad - Oh kids these days get all the fun! I wish my science class (back in the day) offered our class a challenge to fly a cellphone with GPS & camera up into the stratosphere to take photos of the Earth's curvature. Alas, the closest I came was an egg drop contest, which was designed to teach about gravity, mass, and seat belt safety (don't ask). A firetruck ladder would drop our eggs in our homemade egg protection cases and see whose eggs survived the fall. See my glorious win along with the other winners from my 7th grade class. I'm the kid kneeling on the left with Jace Meola the kid behind me pretending he's going to crack an egg on my head. ... Re: help with fixing title -
