Someone needs to write an iPhone, Android etc..., application to interface with the Public Library. The Columbus library electronic resources are awesome and an iPhone app would be so nice. Basically you enter your State and library card number to access the resources. Here are a list of resources at the Columbus Library site. |

Google's Project 10 to the 100th
My submission:
Make the internet a library where all content is available for anyone. Once a new product, book, movie, song, T.V. Program, whatever makes it's initial profits it becomes available for free in the library a short period later, like say one year. Each country taxes it people a very small percentage, which gets distributed to the artist as royalty as long as the artist is still creating. Once a content creator retires, stops producing for a period of time, or passes away the product becomes public domain for others to build on. The artist still retains copyright while the artist is still producing.

Personal web applications served by yourself |

Tuesday, 30 September 2008 |
"Richard Stallman, one of the fathers of the software freedom movement, has declared that cloud computing is stupid in calling for users to reject web applications."
I agree! I like some of it and it is cool, but do you really want several companies controlling your data, watching your movements, and how do many accounts benefit anyone?
My thought is users are becoming smarter, have cheap powerful home systems with 24/7 connections, and want to be mobile where their data can be accessed from anywhere.
This made me think considering I am tired of managing several accounts. After reading a story about a guy getting his account locked so he couldn't gain access to his personal data I really started to think, how about managing my own data on my own server that uses web applications that are similar to the crap offered by third parties online. Orb also helped me in this vision, considering it was giving me access to my home computer where I could watch streaming video off my home machine on my iPhone. It made me think, why not stream from a web server of my own to the Safari web browser? My idea was born...

Cycorder video recorder for iPhone |
|

If you're looking to record video using your iPhone you will need to jailbreak your phone. Not sure why there isn't any video recorders in the AppStore but there isn't. I have tried all the video recorders on iPhone and the recent Cycorder is absolutely the best! I have been using it as much as the camera and that gets heavy use. Today Cycorder received an update via Cydia and now has sound. If you need a recording solution I recommend CyCorder! Currently the app is free, but I'd pay for this app it's so good. |

iPhone update 2.0. - runs hot + battery drain |
|
Friday, 05 September 2008 |
I have an original iPhone 2G 8gb. Been jailbreaking it since the day I got it and I have never had any real problems with the phone. So when Apple's 2.0 update came out I updated and waited for the jailbreak. I did this for 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 updates as well. Since moving to the Apple 2+ firmware versions my battery life has gone to shit and the phone burns hot as hell when doing everyday tasks. I asked about this on the iPhone dev team's blog, but people are too busy answering stupid questions from people that should not be hacking their phones.
