Earthlink Internet Access FAIL

in ,

This is what happens as I'm streaming a live video seminar, and uploading a youtube video at the same time.  But once youtube uploading stops, everything is back to normal.

F-

Just so you know, even implementing QoS does not help the situation.  Download speeds are reduced to near useless while the upload is in progress.

I do not recommend Earthlink here in So Cal.

Amazon's Tablet - Kindle Fire - Now Shipping!

in ,

 

Here's what some critics are saying about it.

I already have an iPad2.  I've used a few other tablet devices for a short period of time (1-2 months), and also have owned other ebook readers from Amazon and Barnes and Nobles. 

Bottom line is if you want to primarily read books, you get an ebook reader.  My pick for that is Kindle, Wi-Fi, 6" E Ink Display - includes Special Offers & Sponsored Screensavers - it can't be beat for the price.  Plus if you really don't want the sponsored screen savers, you can upgrade later.

Otherwise, iPad2 is still the king.  Let's hope Apple drops the pricing a bit in iPad3 or gives some of us the display we really wanted - Retina!

How to Turn Photos Into Cash

in ,

These days its really easy to get into, but difficult to make wads and wads of cash without some work.  It can be done, but you really have to be vigilant in producing photographs people want.

Just from personal experience, I've uploaded about 7 photographs to www.istockphoto.com, and you can click the link and see what those 7 photographs are.

I just wanted to point out that the photographs aren't stunning.  But if you just look at the ones in my link, you'd never believe the biggest seller.

It's the picture of a simple brick.  I've made over $200 on that single picture since I've uploaded it.  It wasn't difficult to setup, photograph, or anything.  I used a Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 to shoot it and some poster paper for the background.  This is easily a shot anybody can do.

Imagine what you could do if you actually worked at it in your spare time.

'Unlimited' Everything for $19.99 - Republic Wireless

in , ,

Today marks the launch of a new assault against traditional wireless phone companies as we know it.

Republic wireless has introduced one plan to rule them all!   OK, well not everyone, but for $19.99 you get everything you get unlimited everything as long as you stick to wifi most of the time.

How is this possible?  It will route everything through your Wifi - and when you are out and about when there isn't any wifi, your phone will work through Sprint.

How is this possible?  With UMA Technology.  UMA, or Unlicensed Mobile Access is something that T-Mobile has been using for a while.  This technology allows your phone to use your WiFi Access Point to use your internet access for data, phone calls, text messages through your Wifi.  It's not completely new as it's been used by other carriers who don't have great reception everywhere - ie, the Microcell for AT&T.
