Crackberry Users Celebrate

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

The news got passed around at the office quickly, even though it was after 5 on a Friday. I’m sure many of the attorney’s in our office will be quite relieved that their “whole life” will not be taken away. (As in “I need this, my whole life is in there!”) Others will not really care. If you work in a law firm you know them, they’re the one’s who really never needed a blackberry they just had to have what the other kids have, the one’s who wind up running the battery down because they never remember to stick it in the cradle to charge, because they don’t ever really need to sync it, the one’s who manage to leave it home all the time because they don’t really like having it go off, etc.

As for us, I think we’ll mostly be happy. Not that we love having our “digital leashes” to answer to, nor do we really enjoy having to support them, but finding a replacement at a moment’s notice wasn’t going to be pretty.

    Scoble’s collecting SP2 reactions in the comments to this post. The IE Team has a post about changes to IE with SP2. Meanwhile IBM is telling it’s folks to not install it just yet. Seems there are some serious compatibility issues with their Web apps. That’s not surprising, I’ve been hearing about potential compatibility issues…

    From a link at PC Doctor, under the heading of Email annoyances, I followed along to this post and laughed especially hard at this one: “The 18-line sig about all the Bad Things that will happen to me if I ever reveal the contents of your privileged, confidential (and unencrypted) message” As any law-firm IT…

  • What the hell is a "memetracker"?

    I’ve been watching the comments on Scoble’s post since I posted my early thoughts this afternoon. I had another thought that came to mind this evening as I read through the comments. I think it’s important to think about the type of person who is using tools like Memeorandum and others. Scoble gushes about how…

    Here’s some even more bad news, from people who obviously are just clueless, yet somehow wound up in positions of power: Driver’s license as De Facto National ID?. Here’s a quote (and a fine example of just how clueless some people are): “These are state motor vehicle departments that will have these databases. This is…

    As you can see from Angela’s post about our trip to the Newport Aquarium, little Dylan seemed to have the best time when she gave him her digital camera and let him wonder around taking pictures. They’re not too shabby for a 3 year old. Anyway, she and I are thinking of trying to find…
