brundlefly76 commented on Rumor: Apple and AT&T Developing iPhone Tethering Plan

"When I had a Sprint Blackberry I always had free 3g tethering - but more importantly, the 3g worked. 3G on my iPhone freaking blows."

brundlefly76 commented on Hive Five Winner for Best FTP Client: FileZilla

"drfrog: filezilla supports scp (sftp). I sometimes will use FTP when I need additional speed - like cross-country multi-gb data transfers."

brundlefly76 commented on Free iPhone Tetris Getting Pulled from App Store

"I'm getting really tired of Apple-as-gatekeeper for iPhone apps. Apple worked hard to break down the walled garden of mobile phone companies, just to replace it with their own. Now they fall down at every copyright request, are dumping apps with mature content, taking too long with app approval, being generally uncommunitive with developers about the process, and preventing developers to even speak to each other about programming the iPhone SDK under penalty of lawsuit. If my product has a copyright issue with another company, that matter involves two parties - my company and theirs."

brundlefly76 commented on iPhone Ad Pulled in UK Because It's "Not Quite True"

"I would love to have such a critical standard in the US. I have a 3g iphone and a mac mini and ipods, and love em, but I think a lot of Apple's advertising is overreaching, hyperbolic, and dishonest. Like the Mac vs PC ads which infer the PC is only good for spreadsheets and doesnt play entertainment software, or that they dont work with digital cameras -?!"

brundlefly76 commented on Question of the Day: Would You Prefer a Bidet Over a Regular Toilet Setup?

"Ironically, the first time I ever encountered a bidet is when I checked into a Parisian hotel room with explosive diarrhea. It would have been a fantastic coincidence if I had known what it was and how to use it."

brundlefly76 commented on Gates and Seinfeld to Answer Apple's PC vs Mac Ads

"afaic Microsoft should have sued Apple over a couple of those commercials. Two specifically I can think of are the one which inferred Windows didn't work with digital cameras ((!??!) and the ones which inferred that Windows didn't run entertainment software, just business software (!!??) Whats really funny about those is that at the time, MacBooks didnt even have an SD card slot for digital cameras like most PC notebooks, and everyone knows Windows supports about 10X as much gaming software as MacOS."

brundlefly76 commented on Best FTP Clients?

"Since I got 25Mbps FiOs, I have to use FTP clients which split the download into several pieces on multiple connections in order to saturate my connection (long fat pipe problem). 'Internet Download Accelerator' plugs into Firefox and does this automatically for HTTP or FTP downloads."
