MobileMe Mail and an Email Address from a Custom...
Finally figured out the MobileMe mail “send from” domain issue on iOS devices.
Like on MobileMe on the web and Apple Mail, on an iOS device you must configure an additional SMTP server for the custom “send from” domain (not to be confused with MobileMe aliases). Once configured, ensure it’s turned “on” as an alternate SMTP server for your MobileMe...

“The iPad is an intensely personal device. In its design intent it is, truly,...”
– How the iPad Wants to be Used (via) is the very problem with iOS in its current form. Although I love the idea of the iPad, the fact that iOS is not designed to be passed around seems, to me anyhow, to be problematic. All consumer operating systems should, at the very least, offer a basic multi-user...

– Don’t Sacrifice Security on Mobile Devices is an article by the EFF discussing the state of security patches for mobile operating systems.

“I jumped in: “And then, of course, the second act is about how they become evil...”
– On Google and evil is a great write-up by John August. First he discusses the possibility of writing a screenplay about the early days of Google. More importantly, he shifts his discussion to the much larger issue of all the data Google stores on everyone. I am growing increasingly concerned about...

We have 14 million officially unemployed Americans, and another 14 million who can work only part-time or have just given up. More than one million American families lost their homes last year. And yet the first order of business for the new Republican majority in the House is to see to it that 30 million Americans cannot see a doctor when they are sick. Even with cancer.

– Half-formed thought on Wikileaks & Global Action. This is probably some of the most interesting commentary to-date on the Wikileaks saka unfolding on the international stage.
