史蒂文 :: Release 2.0

Right, i finally managed to get 40 MB of my mobile phone - pics and videos. That's great, but you know what - it was only by chance i found the software. Prior to that i was doing it individually and it was taking forever, so i never got them off. I had a USB bluetooth adapter and a phone - no instructions (was from a friend). I would send my pic from the phone to the PC individually as i has no idea what software was available for the device. In actyual fact, some free software from Beklin allows you to copy things across like Windows Explorer, so i left it copying and within 30 mins it was all done. I wish i had the time to go look for all the software that may be useful for my devices but to be honest i barely have the time to keep on top of the drivers, never mind software on top of those.

My next point. All of these things know who they are. It knows it is a Beklin USB v2 Bluetooth adapter, so WHY not just suggest the software i should have? Windows has a "Use Web Service" when it finds an unrecognized file type, but when you install a device, i'd like it to say, ok, this device has given me this URL to get data about it. That is ALL YOU NEED. A URL from the device, simple in comparison to the host of other data they exchange. Then it can go to the site and as much info as desired can be given to the user. It would make my life much easier as at the moment i am having to use a CD that stores all of the software i have "discovered" for my laptop and PC's over the last 4 years. Sure, my favourites should be used, but surely software such as this is inherently a favourite of mine as it makes my devices work better for me.

Use this instead of Captcha.

I was pointed to this by Baris Karadogan at ComVentures.

You choose your seat in the stadium, select your strip and the supporters you want to sit next to. It's a social network idea around the World Cup. it's a neat idea, but like many social networking sites, lack an "action" - something that will actually get you networking (kinda like how do you actually *get started* using linked in?). Maybe they should have a few things to get people talking, like game predictions, half time penalty shoot outs and so on.

But still, for those us us not going (i'm from Scotland and we're letting everyone else have a chance just now) it's a neat idea and if they can give me a reason to go back to it during the WC, i probably would.

Still, it made me hate captcha even more. Use this for petes sake. It's free! I promise.
