Matt is right about this case illustrating what can happen when limited partnerships go bad, although outside of criminal fraud I can’t imagine a set of circumstances more extreme than what has been going on at VSP for the last year. The other important lesson for startups is that the problems of your venture investor [...]

Cool, turn your PSP into a portable backup device for your Mac or offline (online for that matter) reader. Lot’s of features, like converting audio/video, synching bookmarks, sync iphoto libraries, and ical/address book data. The Missing Sync for Sony PSP – Synchronize Mac OS X and Sony PSP: The Missing Sync for Sony PSP turns [...]

Wonder how long it will be before Verizon or Sprint try to block VoIP calls over their data networks… VOIP Over EV-DO Rev. A Put To Test (Phone Scoop): Qualcomm yesterday announced it had successfully tested making calling using Voice over IP (VOIP) on a CDMA EV-DO Revision A network.
