God damn it, there are a lot of sick people out there.

Question: How do you know that the default theme of a phone sucks?
Answer: When you had to download the ThemeStudio application to create your own theme right from the first day you got your phone.

It happened to me on Wednesday.

I love Bluetooth, this is a known perk of mine. I have lots of Bluetooth gadgets here, but the one I am missing is a Bluetooth Access Point. This looks and works exactly like a WiFi router, but instead of connecting WiFi-enabled devices to the Internet, it instead connects Bluetooth devices that support the PAN profile. Such devices include many Bluetooth-enabled PalmOS devices (Treos included, but not the Zire 72), all PocketPCs, and UIQ 3.0 devices (like the Sony Ericsson M600i). I am not sure about Symbian S60. Any BT-enabled desktop OS that supports the PAN profile should be able to connect too.

So far, the Bluetooth Access Point business has been a huge failure. The first such routers arrived between 2002-2004 and they sold so few, that nobody revisited them or updated them and so whatever is in the market today or on eBay, are pretty much leftovers from that era. Because of their limited numbers, they are very expensive too: you can find them selling on eBay between $60 and $120 and in the retail market between $100 and $180.

However, not all hope is lost. All hail Anycom, a company that creates only Bluetooth items. Just recently they released their “EDR-AP Bluetooth Access Point” product, which is the first such AP that supports Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR. Moreover, it supports other profiles too: LAP, DUN and OPP. I am sure that this will sell pretty high too (maybe at around $150), but it is one wicked product. At last, a new AP has arrived! I will try to get my hands on one of these, but not sure if I will make it, as they don’t get sold anywhere in the US right now.

Awwh… My QTek 9100, which was serving as my main phone for about 9 months, just died. Or so it seems so. Basically, this is what happened: I received the Nokia 6288 for a review yesterday and I needed to use my SIM. So, I turned off the 9100, removed the SIM card and I replaced its battery. Then, I connected it to the charger while turned off (all other phones can recharge when OFF, they just boot a part of their OS to do so). I think this was the part that killed it. Nothing works now, I tried to reset it, hard reset it, change chargers, nothing brings it back to life. It doesn’t make a peep and no lights are turning ON at all. And I don’t want to send it to support, because if they indeed fix it, all my passwords are there.

I think that the E61 will take now the duties of my main phone.

UPDATE: The battery was completely discharged. I tried yet another usb charger (slightly different voltage), and what do you know, the damn thing turned back ON and now it’s charging!

Ok, this is going too far. Now the Wikipedia founder guy is against Microsoft hiring a third party, neutral, source to edit slanted articles that bring their business and their technologies to bad light. The Wikipedia founder said that MS should have… written a whitepaper and post it in the… wikipedia forums instead. What?? How does that fix the slanted wikipedia articles? What MS did was pretty normal: they hired someone with knowledge of the matter to correct (not slant the other way) some articles. This sounds very reasonable to me, especially because Wikipedia matters these days so much — they are not a small site anymore. But, you know, when people hear that MS did that, they will go wild against them, without thinking that what they did was actually not immoral or against any rules.

Oh. My. God. I just realized. iPhone’s “widescreen” ultra-hyped screen has the exact same resolution as the Newton has which was released over 15 years ago! 320×480. Honestly, the Newton was a much more revolutionary device than the iPhone is.

Here is a list of the best wireless mobile devices that you can use today with most SIP services out there:

0. Nokia N80 Internet Edition (just make sure you get the Internet Edition)
1. Nokia E61 after upgraded to its v3.03.x firmware
2. Nokia N770 or N800 with the Gizmo client
3. Any Win2003+ Wi-Fi PocketPC with 400 Mhz CPU with SJPhone client
4. Palm Lifedrive with Articulation client
5. Nokia E60 and E70 *if* Nokia updates their firmware to the v3.03.x version any time soon

Nokia sent me this morning a N800 Internet Tablet (Fedex woke me up from dreaming of Steve Jobs again — it was a nightmare btw). OSNews review is up. Additionally, there is a possibility that I will be exchanging my old PDA for a (locked) Blackberry 8700c. Good times, good times…

Anyone saw the video recording camera they used on “24″ in the scene where Buchanan is interogating Al-Assad? It was a Nokia N93 phone on a mini-tripod, similar to the one used to shoot this videoclip. My problem with the scene was that the shot was 0.5 seconds long and very fuzzy. Nokia paid for the item to be shown on “24″, and except from the viewers who really know the product inside out, I don’t think that anyone else would be able to notice it at all. While it probably cost Nokia less than $250 to place their product on the show, the point remains, I don’t think that they made their money back with that short and fuzzy shot. Apple on the other hand, they had two clear shots: the president’s laptop was a Macbook Pro, and Chloe’s monitor was a Cinema Display.

FOX wishes that Steve Jobs was running for president? Oh, God, no! Jobs is known to run the company like a dictatorship and with a secretive agenda. I prefer Bill Gates about a thousand times more than Jobs for a president.

If I could vote here in US (I am not a citizen), my vote would either go to Hilary Clinton or to Edwards. Not sure about this Obama guy, he seems nice but I don’t really know anything about him. I like Hilary because she is a strong person with lots of experience and Edwards because he reminds me a bit of Al Gore’s ‘innocence’ and because he is someone who has lived through tragedy (his young son died a few years back).
