Google and Skype as posted by Lifehacker.com

Set Google Voice as Your Skype Caller ID
A Google Voice number, one that rings all your phones, makes good sense as the caller ID number for outgoing Skype calls. Google Voice blocked the verification SMS that Skype needed until recently, but Google's flipped the switch and made it convenient.

John, a Lifehacker reader and fan of Google Voice and Skype, tipped us off to a tweet from a Google Voice team member that indicated the Google Voice/Caller ID setup now works. You'll have to respond to the SMS sent to your Google Voice number, but once you do, people you call with Skype's "Skype Out" service won't see a random string of digits, but a number they can actually call you back on.


For all those wondering - you just go into your skype account [secure.skype.com] and set the number in the Caller ID section.

I will test this out on my Ipad and see how useful it is and post my findings at www.powerinyourfist.com and Facebook too

Techno Fashionistas, today is your lucky day

Just plain old stooooopid nothing else to say about that.

Had a great day in Cupertino at the Apple Campus and Labs. Did not meet Steve or Brian Forstall

But I did get some cool gear and a Magic Mouse. It's a beautiful Campus and security is tight. I didn't see anyone wearing these pants.

Zip car, Gps and Steve Jobs

Okay today I am on my way to the "Tech Mecca" the Apple headquarters in Cupertino with my Apple homeboy/coworker Chad.

We are driving there using a zipcar and I must admit it is Apple friendly with Ipod connectors and charger for multiple MP3 players. I am also using the Tom Tom car kit and Gps service too.

There is an app for the Zipcar that supposedly unlocks the car (didn't work for) but it did locate the car for me and I made the reservation and chose my car too. No deposit, insurance is paid and they buy the gas. I am giving away free driving on my site at powerinyourfist.com

I will post picks and info from Apple headquarters via Facebook.

Chad emailed Steve Jobs and asked him too meet us at the store too ( Big ones!)

We are here Steve did not meet us but we had a great time and it was a beautiful drive.

Moving music files

I have found and used a great service to move music from one Mac/PC Itunes library from to another and it is called Pod to Mac and it is great if you use the older version. 3.0.3

I tried the new version with no luck at all, redownloaded a few times and it did not recognize my devices.

So I was directed to a link from my friend Sydney and it works like a charm
http://mac.brothersoft.com/pod-to-mac-download.html

Grow your library and share I love this service. Do not upgrade because it does not work for some reason.it's easy and supple to use. 3.0.3 is free and they do make a PC version too

Using Mi-Wi to save 490.00 the 1st year

I bought the Wi-Fi Ipad with only the Internet connection vs. waiting for the Wi-Fi + 3G Ipad with the 14.95 or 30.00 a month plan because I am able to use my Iphone to transfer my signal to the Ipad. The service works well with all the basic apps.
Streaming video from Netflix is a little buggy but everything else is great.

I monitor my data usage by using the app My Wireless to make sure I stay under my 5 Gigabytes (AT&T's definition of unlimited data) and thus far between both devices I've used 2,750 megs of data. 1000 Megs = 1 GIgabyte so I am Okay.

Using the Iphone to tether my Ipad has advantages
1) I did not have to pay an extra 130.00 for the device

2) I am able to easily make calls from my Iphone via Bluetooth and still access the Ipad.

I can use my headset and make calls outside the U.S.on the Ipad

3) I save as much as 360.00 a year on the Ipad data plan.

Be reasonable and stay under the 5Gigs of data and enjoy the device if your device is not enabled call me and we can install Mi-Fi which can only be used on jailbroken Iphones.

Follow me on Twitter and Facebook too.

Left out in the cold

Well the new Iphone OS will be here by summer and it is pretty spectacular when I took a 2nd look at it...but 1st generation Iphone users and those using the basic Iphone 3G are left out in the cold. The new OS will not work for your phones.
They want you to upgrade and buy the newest Iphone (my theory) but there is a solution "ME". I have been performing many of the OS 4 services on all Iphones for years including multitasking. I can also set you up for tethering to a device like the Ipad. Tethering can save you 360.00 a year vs. Only having the Wi-Fi version or opting for the Wi-Fi + 3G service which is 30.00 for unlimited data. (they also have 14.95 plan) 256 MB's

So if you want some of the essential 4.0 services and are not ready to spring for the new device via upgrade then contact me for your options.

Thanks for visiting and tell others about this blog and look for me in Facebook or Twitter.

IPhone O S 4.0

Again I am a little disappointed with the release simply because I have been multitasking and using folder and background apps for awhile, years actually. It will be interesting to see if the battery life is improved with their 4.0 software. If your device is "clean" you will have access to these cool features.

Drag and drop folders allow you to simply drag and drop your apps into organized folders.

Run Pandora and send emails at the same time

Play games while using voip

Better mail service with quicker switching between multiple accounts.

iBooks is also coming similar to the app stores service "classics"

1st gen iPhone and Itouch users you are left out in the cold also multitasking will only work on 16 and 32 GB 3G and 3G if you have a 8 GB 3rd gen oops you are getting no love either.

You can always see me and I will remedy all those problems. The iPhone/Itouch software arrives this summer and in the Fall for the Ipad.

Starbucks and ATT hotspots

I made a visit to Starbucks today and wanted to see if I could connect easily to their hotspot and I must let you know that I have ATT DSL (non phone) service. I fired up the hotspot and it said connect: username/password
I used my ATT.net username and password and voilà I was online and the password reminder software kicked in that is built into 3G, 3GS and the Ipad ( must be turned on) now I can log on any time with no problem. Keep in mind my Iphone is jailbroken and also functions as a wireless hotspot too. For times when thier is no hotspot.The test was incomplete from the standpoint that I wanted to try all the other type of login services such as Boingo that test is coming soon. The speed was quick and I had no Wi-Fi issues.

TSA: iPads and other eReaders don’t need to be removed from bags during security screening
Wed, Apr 7, 2010 | by Tim BradburyiPad

If you travel a lot, you know just how much of a hassle it can be to get through airport security. At many larger airports this means removing your shoes, belt, and sweatshirt, in addition to dealing with crying babies, whining kids, and grumpy passengers, and on top of that, removing your laptop from its bag.
Luckily, for all you iPad owners out there, the TSA has decided that eReaders, including the iPad, do not need to be removed from their respective cases and can be sent through the X-ray machine just like any other article.
According to a TSA blog post (yes, they have a blog,)

IPad coverage and protection

Maximum security and Mobile me and insurance for the Ipad.
Maximum security is a 99 cent app that alerts you if you lay your Ipad down and someone picks it up. The iPad goes nuts vibrating lights flashing and a loud alarm goes off and it can only be turned off by a code. It looks ominous from the start with an area sensor sweeping image.
Mobile me (cheaper through Amazon than the Apple store) tracks down my device via google maps, allows me to post a return for reward number on the lockscreen, emits an audible finder signal and if all else fails I can kill all the data on the device.

You can also insure your device against theft and damage too Square Trade (2 years for drops and spills 95.99) and Worth Ave Group(69.00 a year) offer solutions. Worth Ave group covers cracked screens, theft, vandalism, fire,flood,natural disasters and power surge due to lightning.

Well I'm covered and when the jailbreak comes out there are some really cool hacker protection programs that are stealth and highly effective.

Rhapsody is better and will soon be magnificent

I have used Rhapsody on the Iphone since it 1st arrived in the app store and enjoy it. I discover a lot of NEW music this way and 15.00 a month for an unlimited library was "just OK"
This is the new business model for music it is access vs. Ownership listen to it anytime you like, provided you have an Internet signal.
The service works well on all my devices at home and on the road and is a joy on the Ipad.
Rhapsody split from and is a standalone company and the price is now 10.00 with a 2 week no cost trial in the app store.
More changes are coming. Rhapsody is working on an offline model to play your music on a plane or in a situation where you can not access the Internet.
A great service. I now have a Faith Hill, Jimi Hendrix, Aerosmith and Queen collection next to all my Gospel, funk,soul,reggae and jazz collection. Music brings Joy retrospect and peace. Never has 10.00 gone so far, I recommend Rhapsody.

First impressions of Wi-Fi only Ipad

I have had some time to tinker with the Ipad and enjoy it as it is from the box. I am making calls via Skype and Truephone with nice call clarity. I am in fact blogging now from the Ipad. I am using the iPhone to broadcast real time images and have a hybrid camera software that is not bad for a 1st version software, video chat is not far behind. Netflix quality is great. The device is a handful at 1.5 pounds but I will get used to it. It is great for day to day task and in that respects replaces my Acer netbook. Things are snappy, crisp and quick. You simply think of something and it happens. I will be excited to connect the Apple wireless keyboard to it via Bluetooth and once it is jail broken the real fun begins such as using my Jawbone Bluetooth while using Skype via a free hacker program called MonoB. Most of the games designed specifically for iPhone/Itouch worked well BUT looked a little grainy in large mode. Scrabble was fantastic and blackjack was rendered better in the smaller mode. The device is great for doing quick things making a voice memo or keeping organized through the beautiful calendar program. Maybe you need to send or read an Email quickly or print some documents from the wireless printer app. All in all it is a marvelous day to day device and that's just the first 48 hours. I see the device as a blank slate of paper that app designers and the hacker community will have a field day with. I also love the fact that I can use Boingo Wi-Fi service as a roaming partner at no charge because I have Att DSL service at home.

Grooveshark follow up

Patience is a virtue with regards to Grooveshark.
Here is the good, It works!
You search a growing database of music and BAM! You have it.
You can play "your" music offline by choosing to make it available in offline mode. I uploaded a copy of my entire music library to Grooveshark too.
The bad: quirky controls and it takes forever to upload a large library to Grooveshark and THEN you can only access that library from your Iphone if you designate the songs as favorites (complete access to library from a Flash enabled device)
This is an early version and I only look for the service to improve over time.

Flash and Apple

I have been using Grooveshark and appreciating it more and more each week. But it is a Flash site and unless you have jailbroken your Iphone you are out of luck same with the new ad based music service from Australia guevera.com.
This is what is apparent to me you have to buy music and movies from Apples Itunes. Also games and multimedia too. Hulu and fancast are a no-go on the Apple mobile devices. Coincedence or by design? Please comment.
