TECH SERVICE: MUSICMATCH swallowed by YAHOO! BARFed back on the users!! Refund?

Yahoo plays defunct DRM tune

***Begin Quote***

It’s getting to be an old song. This week the Yahoo Music Store sent a message to customers saying they will turn off their DRM servers after September, thus joining MSN Music, Sony’s Connect music store and other online music services in eventually cutting off customers who purchased DRM-wrapped tunes. And readers have no doubt it’s a song the movie, e-book, and software publishers are also going to be singing in the future.

***End Quote***

So, do they give us a refund for DESTROYING a perfectly good working piece of software that they replaced with a POS?

Yeah, like that’s going to happen!

FTC? DOJ? Political help? Yeah, like that’s going to happen!

TECHSERVICE: Apple’s ‘MobileMe’ is up … slow and fubar

Friday, July 11, 2008

Many issues. My McBa blog is gone. I have it local. I don’t have the new DOTME cabalities and icons on the McBa.

It’s probably getting pounded pretty good. Hence there’s a lot of sitting a looking at the Mac equivalent of an hourglass.

Argh!!

TECHSERVICE: Found a flaw with my WSP!

Friday, July 11, 2008

FROM THE NEW APPLE MOBILEME

Add Personal Domain

Before your iWeb site can be viewed at your personal domain, you must complete the following steps:

* Go to your registrar’s website. Define web.me.com as the “www” CNAME (alias) for your domain.

If you need help creating a CNAME, contact your registrar

# – # – #

FROM 1AND1

Can I use a CNAME record to point to my web space?

Unfortunately, you cannot use a CNAME record to point to 1&1 web space. You

must provide our DNS servers to your domain name registrar.

# – # – #

Argh!

TECH SERVICE: the free, and unequaled, wordpressdotcom is unsurpassed

Saturday, June 28, 2008

I’m a WORDPRESS fan. I finally found something it doesn’t do that it should

***Begin Quote***

Subject: [WordPress #ZRP-768006]: [unknown] [reinkefj.wordpress.com] Maybe I’m obtuse How do I put a table in a post?

Howdy!
There is currently no icon to insert a table. You must do this through the HTML view and actually type the tags. Please check out the following resource:

http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp

Best,
Anthony

***End Quote***

MEDIAWIKI has is it and I was looking to do a table in RFL when I couldn’t find the icon I needed.

I just pasted a table from WORD and it worked. So …

This doesn’t change my opinion that the free, and unequaled, wordpressdotcom is unsurpassed.

TECH SERVICE: Vangard requires Adobe PDF Reader! Yuck!!!

Vangard requires Adobe PDF Reader! Yuck!!!

Adobe stinks. It’s a pig in terms of size and complexity. You put out a pdf. Why can’t I use an Open Source free product to view the pdf? And, it used to work. SO you’ve introduced a change without notification. Just like your split authentication change, it does zip from my perspective except make my life more difficult.

TECH SERVICE: LOGMEIN free

Monday, June 23, 2008

Has worked very nicely from the road. The hotel’s wifi is deadly slow. But moving up to the Verizon wireless broadband gives good performance. (It should for those prices.)
