It seems that the Fake Steve Jobs blog is closing down. As he says..

Well my friggin lawyers are advising me that I will have to shut down this scandalous old blog. Details not worth going into here. Someday I’ll be able to explain.

Hopefully, the archives will remain for the time being. Some people just don’t seem have a sense of humour….

It looks absolutely amazing. It has almost everything including simplicity of synchronisation.
Here is a quick hands on impression from the New York Times.

With all of the recent hoo-haa about the release of new consoles from Sony and Nintendo, I remembered getting a PSP last year for my birthday not long after it was released. Since that time, it has been left largely unused because simply, the quality of games available has not been great. In fact, I have only just bought a game that feels as fun as Final Fantasy on PS2 or Goldeneye on the old Nintendo console and am now using it every day. Now I see that Final Fantasy is due to come out in 2007 and the review of FIFA 2007 makes it likely that I will get both in the not too distant future. But, I would wait a year before getting the console for Sony or Nintendo and get an XBox 360 or a PS2 instead. PS2 consoles costs around 100 Euro currently and those consoles will drop in price as products bed down.
It’s all about the games, stupid.

This got through my spam filter. Any ideas on what it could be?

1. That can’t happen.
2. That doesn’t happen on my machine.
3. That shouldn’t happen.
4. Why does that happen?
5. Oh, I see.
6. How did that ever work?

So I see from CNet News that Xdrive, the online storage company is back and offering 5Gb for free. My advice is to steer well clear of this baby. I had a free account during Xdrive’s first incarnation in 2001 thinking it could be cool to store many of the documents that I need before the era of large usb keys. I went on a round the world trip in early 2002 and in the middle of the trip, I got an email from Xdrive notifying me that they were closing down their service and gave me a short period to retrieve my files. Of course, that wasn’t possible when I was in the middle of my trip so my online files disappeared and I felt quite bitter about it afterwards because I lost access to some important documents. The bottom line is that I now use either my trusty usb stick or my yahoo briefcase account to store anything important where I need to remotely access them.

devlising.com has, in my opinion, the best listing of resources that a web developer could need. Ajax, asp, php, inspiration, editors, flash, javascript, traffic utilities and other categories. Almost all of the tools that I regularly use are listed and quite a few more that I will spend time exploring their capabilites.
Highly recommended.
