Firewall to be put up around Australia; We need your help guys and girls.
Now I know this may be slightly off topic and I’m using my position for personal triumph but we really need you guys and girls to help us out here. See we only have 22 million citizens here and we need a petition signed by as many people as we can against a new government policy that is going to be…
Rant! Handango’s Download Protection Is A Joke Gone Sour – Use Gmail As Free Download Protection
Louis reminded me about Handango’s "Download Protection" racket. This is where Handango tries to charge you $4.99 for each application you purchase to (and I quote) "Fee safe" about your purchase. This is the reason I boycotted them a bit back but there is quite a bit of software that can only be found on…
Prevention is easier than the Cure?
Slashdot aired this little beauty earlier today and I thought it was timely in respect to the article written here yesterday. This really says to me; “Well hell, if fines and/or laws won’t stop people texting or taking phone calls whilst driving, then the software developers will”. It was only really a matter of time…

The only way to get them is if you have a purchased product from…

RANT! RIM Newsletter Needs To Get With The program
Yesterday I got a weird email from RIM that really had me shaking my head. I have already gotten used to RIM spouting old news in their BlackBerry Connection newsletter but this one took the cake: BES v4.1 Service Pack 6 was released back in the middle of July… What are they doing sending out…
RANT! The Promising BlackBerry Wallet – What Happened?
I know 2 rants in one day is a bit much but I am curious to learn what happened to this promising application. We told you that it was released back in May. We then followed up with instructions on how to integrate it into a mobile website. Now we are almost 2 months later and…
