Google Latitude on iOS 4 update

August 20, 2010 ub3rg33k

Now don’t get me wrong Latitudie does what it says on the tin, but boy…does it drain the battery. I also found that the only way to turn it off was to stop the background app from running, and then disable the location service for it. The setting I used for background were, Best location, periodic updates when not moving…off. With these settings, a full battery would last around 8 hours on my iPhone 4, and around 6 hours on C’s 3GS. Now suprisingly I would have expected to App store to be over saturated with Google latatide apps, however … Continue reading Google Latitude on iOS 4 update

I tried a number of facebook apps, and had … Continue reading Social Networking for Gamers

Consolodating email

March 8, 2009 ub3rg33k

I like most of you have been using email since it first came out, way back in the days of a 14k modem was FAST !! As you can imagine, I have switched between many mail programs as they have advanced over the years, and have disks and disk full of archives. Last week, I came to the conclusion that I needed to get all of these onto Gmail, as I really like the idea of cloud computing, and it really helps when you can get to your email from anywhere. I’ve tried a number of ways to upload to … Continue reading Consolodating email
