Forget about Mactomster. While it was donationware, it was great, but now that it’s just another overpriced solution, there’s moving on to be done.

Enter super-nice guys from s60themes.co.uk with their brandy-new and free iSync 2.4 plugins. There’s also iSync 2.3 plugins as well for a variety of S60 (mostly N and E series) and even some S40 devices.

Say thanks to the guys there and be thankful!

Tech Crunch is reporting that Yahoo! is about to announce unlimited storage space for webmail users.

Personally, I prefer Gmail, but lots of other folks love Yahoo! mail.

What’s the big deal? It’s been an ever-escalating storage race ever since Gmail came onto the scene with a gig of space per user… Then everyone else gave out a gig of space. Then Gmail went to 2 gigs, followed shortly by lots of other players, followed by the Gmail ever-increasing mailbox size. You can’t out-do unlimited space. The best you can do is match it.

In the end, we’ll all benefit, but it looks like Yahoo! gets to say, “we did it first!”

You have a child, the hospital sends you home with a gift. It’s a diaper bag filled with formula coupons, formula, bottles, nipples, etc. It’s also got a leaflet on breast-feeding that says something clever like, “breast feeding is best!” They call it something fun like a “Breast Feeding Kit”.

So, if you gave someone a bag filled with Twinkies with a business card for the local gym, does that make it a “Weight Loss Kit”?

Yikes.

I just read this unbelievable tale about a Mom & daughter’s experience at the American Girl store in NY.

Wow. That’s just unbelievable. I won’t be spending any of my $$ there, that’s for sure. And having a newborn girl, I’d have reason to do so even.

Born this morning, 1:49 am, meet Elizabeth Rose.

Yes, that’s right, Daylight Savings Time starts tomorrow. Prepare for Armageddon! As usual, The Daily Show nailed it.

So last night, I was setting up Heather’s new MacBook, migrating her data from her old PowerBook. It came time to pair her Nokia E50 with the system and setup iSync to sync her phonebook, calendar, etc. Naturally, I went over to the Mactomster website to grab the latest iSync plugin for the E-series devices.

I found that the download links now point to a Store page that offers the plugins for sale for 7.49€ each. Each plugin only seems to serve a single device, rather than the previous model of a plugin serving multiple devices. That’s almost $10 per device.

Suddenly, 9.95€ for the Novamedia plugin doesn’t sound so bad. On the Novamedia side, you pay once for the plugin that works for all supported devices. You don’t have to pay again for a second device.

The only thing I find a bit insulting is the fact that on the Mactomster site, the PayPal button requesting donations is still there. If you’re asking for donations, you shouldn’t be asking people to pay for the plugins. Now that both Heather & I are using the Mactomster plugins, I was planning to donate to support the work. Now, my money will be going to Novamedia to purchase licenses for their plugins, giving greater flexibility.
