I liked that it moved fast, especially since I saw the original and other similar movies (Independence Day) so we knew what was coming.

Plus it had two Firefly cast members, which can never hurt.

Excellent application.

One big thing missing from the iPhone is local radio and now I can get several channels here.

A nice replacement for 'find . | grep' is the 'ack' tool.

And that's why you should buy PCalc....

I've had very good luck with Jing. Hasn't crashed once and you can't beat the price.

We share movies between our remote QA staff and the rest of the company.

Missing Sync has been doing this for more than a year.

This is not unnecessary and should be built into Time Machine. Time Machine brings my machine (an 8-core) to a crawl whenever it runs. I only want to run it at night.

Too bad it doesn't support Spotlight index timing too.

The article definitely confuses Missing Sync for BlackBerry with Missing Sync for Windows Mobile.

Regardless, both products should work with Entourage 2008 via Sync Services.

Here's the scoop:

1. Missing Sync for BlackBerry never communicated directly with Entourage. Instead, both Entourage and Missing Sync use Apple's Sync Services framework. Nothing should have changed in Entourage 2008. If users are having problems, they should let both Mark/Space and Microsoft know.

2. Missing Sync for *Windows Mobile* does have a separate plugin to talk directly to Entourage in addition to Sync Services support. The main reason for this is historical -- MSWM was written before Sync Services existed. Users can just turn on Sync Services support within Entourage and use the other built-in plugins (contacts, calendar, etc) in Missing Sync and all should be well.

It is recommended that you back up all of your databases first and it may at times be necessary to do a "Mac overwrites device" sync first if switching between plugins to avoid duplicating records. [This may delete unsync'd records from the device, so you should do one last sync beforehand]

The one thing lost shifting over to Sync Services support is keeping track of which calendar a given event is in. This is a limitation in Entourage's Sync Services support. In iCal every event must be in a single calendar whereas Entourage supports multiple categories per item. All Entourage events will show up in a single "Entourage" category on the device.

Hope this clears everything up.

Support external hard disks - or easily replaceable internal ones - so I can put a 750GB drive on my device. (My Comcast HD box has a pitiful 15 hour capacity)

Whenever possible, automatically record 2 minutes before and after each show. That way, if the show starts early or ends late, which is more and more common these days, it doesn't get cut off. (This won't work when you're recording another show immediately afterwards, but still would be a nice enhancement)

Handle live sports properly. When football shifts back Sunday night's schedule, adjust the recording times as best as you can. This will require a live internet connection most likely, but doesn't it make sense to have one operator in a control room updating the start times of TV shows instead of 2 million users?

Ship the Comcast compatible software already!
