Awesync solves Notes Calendar Syncing with Google Calendar

Betabuzz — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:30:30 +0000

I use Lotus Notes at work and have been dying for a tool to sync my notes calendar with Google Calendar. Awesync allows you to just do that. And yes there is a GUI to it. Its fairly easy to use.

1. Download it

2. Install it

3. Click Settings to set it up

4. Retrieve Calendars

5. Select Calendar to sync with

6. Save Settings

7. Click Sync. (note I suggest having a separate work calendar on google, Sync will sync enteries on your google calendar to notes, you may not want that)

Logitech has added to the iPhone app craze. They introduce an excellent app to go along with a media center pc. Logitech Touch Mouse Server allow you to take control of you computer via wireless. It comes with a basic mouse interface along with keyboard pop up. I haven’t use the tool much, but I think I just avoided purchasing a wireless keyboard kit for my Media PC. (Running Boxee!) Works with Windows XP, Vista, 7 and Mac.

What will apple call its tablet?

Betabuzz — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 18:15:28 +0000

Yes, its only a day away. Apple may announce the much anticipate tablet tomorrow. In all speculations there have been sample designs of a tablet by Apple over the past 5 years. The introduction of the iPhone almost guaranteed that Apple would create a touch interface tablet. The iPhone was introduced to us 3 years ago. Yea its really been that long. iPhone change the industry for cell phones. What will it do for the tablet computing industry? Will the tablet be as successful as the iPhone. But with all these questions, what is Apple going to call its tablet?

With the iPod, iMac, iPhone, iTouch… it only make sense that iSlate, iMac Touch are not viable options. Apple will stay consistent to it naming convention and call their prize possession iTablet. (Well at least I am really banking on that they will.)
