#“Deeply satisfying to overclock my phone” SetCPU changes the CPU clock (overclock, underclock, or tweak speeds) on your rooted G1, ADP1, Magic, Nexus, or Droid to increase performance or save battery. via androlib.com In the old days I did it on PC CPUs but that doesn't compare to overclocking my G1 phone from 384MHz to 528MHz. Supposedly some people have it stable at 700MHz. A hackers delight. »
#“My Profile on Google Buzz is…., but I ain’t happy” Right, I'm in playing with Google Buzz on the Desktop and I don't like it but I'll keep at it for a while. It's Friendfeed 2.0, and we all know what a roaring success that was.A bigger problem is the lack of GoogApps account support. I have driven all my mail through that account for the past three years. Now I have to revert to an old semi-dead GMail account to use Buzz. »
#“How to get a non-Deadly Buzz on” It looks like Google Buzz accounts inside your GMail are like hen's teeth at the minute but if you are desperate to try it out and you have a smartphone you should be in luck. Just use your phone to go to http://google.com/buzz and it'll probably let you set up an account there and give you access to the mobile web version of Buzz If you have an Android, Nokia N-series/E-series or WiMo phone you'll also be able to install a Google Maps upgrade that has Buzz features built-in. »
#“Google Buzz on Mobile - What Latitude should have been” via youtube.com I did a running commentary during the announcement on Twitter. Not convinced by the Desktop stuff but the mobile bit is brilliant and I'd be crapping myself in any Local-focused site. Read this stuff in reverse order: @dermotcasey I'm unconvinced by the desktop stuff. But mobile blew my socks off. No update for Google Maps in Android Market. »
#“Dodgeball, Orkut, Jaiku, Latitude. Spot the pattern?” Yes just 4 of Google's attempts to do "Social" online. All complete flops. Or growing until Google bought them and killed them. It's pretty hard for an organisation that's built on secrecy to build something social. When has a representative of Google Ireland ever attended any local event here in an official capacity? Or sponsored one? Figure the basics out before you start trying to apply technology to a human activity. »
#“WordPress To Posterous Users: Graduate to a Full Blog. Eh, no.” via mashable.com So I have multiple wordpress.org and wordpress.com blogs and yet I still set up a Posterous blog last week. It's about a damn sight more than an email interface. For example does wordpress.com autopost to Facebook or Twitter? Does it have a powerful bookmarklet like the one I am typing in right now? Wordpress.com is about getting you into wordpress. »
#“The next Facebook Developer Garage Ireland” via facebook.com The next Garage is on. The last one was jam packed to the rafters so RSVP early. Fab location too. Should be the best yet. »
#“Dave Barry: Super Bowl was great - and so was the game” All in all I thought it was a terrific Super Bowl, except when the Toyota Corolla with the stuck throttle crashed through the west grandstands and took out the entire CBS sideline reporting staff. I'm kidding, of course. It was a Camry. via miamiherald.com Dave is still da man. »
#“They had me at Foodie” On Tuesday, Foursquare is unveiling a partnership with Zagat, the restaurant-guide publishers. It plans to offer a Foodie badge that can be earned by checking into Zagat-rated restaurants in major cities, like New York, San Francisco and Chicago. via bits.blogs.nytimes.com It just gets better and better. »
#“Nokia Social Network tool on S40. WTF?” via allaboutsymbian.com So the Nokia Social Network tool supports N97, 5800 etc and now S40 devices. But not one mention of N95, N96 and a bazillion other N-series handsets which are owned by people who actually use Social Networks on their phones. But my mother-in-law who can just about handle email on a PC and uses her candybar S40 phone for calls and SMS only is now supported? »
