However…. the one problem I have found with facebook for BlackBerry is the no ability to upkload videos from the app. I have searched the web and cannot believe that such a simple feature is not implemented. Maybe in a future upgrade eh facebook?

I have been wanting one for ages and nothing could really help me understand as to why I wanted it, I don’t exactly need it, I don’t think I will like it, but I still bought it anyways? Call me crazy, mad, an idiot, a money waster but I just had to get it.

I will be getting it delivered later on next week and I seriously cannot wait to get my hands on it.

I have to say also, it was a bargain!

**posted from iPad**

I had a quick search on the net and finally came across this script:

ComputerName = InputBox(“Machine Name To Query”)

winmgmt1 = “winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!//”& ComputerName &”"
Set SerialN = GetObject( winmgmt1 ).InstancesOf (“Win32_BIOS”)

For each Serial in SerialN
MsgBox “Serial Number: ” & Serial.SerialNumber
Next

How to use:

1) Fire up Notepad
2) Paste the above into it
3) Save the file with the extension .VBS
4) Double click
5) Enter the remote computer name
6) Voila the serial number will appear

Something so simple, saved me a lot of time / miles and fuel!
Hope it helps for you!

The phone lines open at 8am and I reckon I will be the first caller of the day. I’m starting to love this ipad more and more each day, finally getting used to using it and where I need to lay it down to use the keyboard so I can write blog posts like I am now!!

UPDATE: it’s now 8:30am and the vodafone iPad activation sim line is still not open, apparently they open at 8am Monday to Friday, and yet still at 8:30 they still aint open and the message still says open at 8am. Shocking.

UPDATE 2: iPad in now activated, I opted for the £10 a month which gives me 1gb data allowance

This shortcut command will allow you to quickly hide/show the Mac OS X dock.

⌘-option-d

Pressing it once will hide it, pressing it for a second time will show the dock again.

It doesn’t make it go away permanently, this command only activated / disabled quick hide dock.

Find a design you like, http://leoparddocks.net has some real beauties

Then just follow these instructions

1. Click the ‘Download’ button above the image of the dock you want

2. Open the folder System/Library/CoreServices/

3. Control-/right-click on Dock.app and choose “Show Package Contents”

4. Navigate to Contents/Resources/

5. Make a backup of all of the “scurve” .PNG files and then get rid of them from that folder (authentication may be required)

6. Copy the contents of the downloaded file into this folder.

1. Open up Terminal.app and type “killall Dock” (without quotes)

This is how mine looks at the moment, I have decided to go for old school matrix feel on my macbook : ) suits me down to the ground.

Change the Login Screen Wallpaper Image in Snow Leopard 10.6 (also works for Leopard 10.5)

Launch the terminal and issue the following commands:

* cd /System/Library/CoreServices
* sudo mv DefaultDesktop.jpg DefaultDesktop_org.jpg
* sudo cp /path/of/image.jpg DefaultDesktop.jpg

Of course, change /path/of/image.jpg to the path of the image file you want to use. Basically what you’re doing here is moving to a folder, backing up the old “DefaultDesktop.jpg” by renaming it, and then copying in the new image and naming it “DefaultDesktop.jpg” instead.

Edit: Don’t pay for apps that do this for you, the method above works great and it’s totally free, If you are like me you will change your desktop wallpaper quite frequently and also you can now change the boring login window within OS X : ) enjoy!

Last night I checked my Gmail account like I do every couple of hours and noticed an email from the Google Wave team, I have been using Google Wave for around a month now so wondered what it was and why I was sent it.

I checked out the email which was an invite to use the service….hmm ok I am already on it and have been for some time so why am I receiving this invite?

I just ignored it and went to sleep, this morning I got speaking to a friend on wave who said he has been given 20 invites for Google Wave to nominate his friends to use, why haven’t I got any I thought.

After a little chat I told him I had received an official invite from Google in my inbox and not sure why I got it, I think it may be I registered to be in the preview mode when it was launched, this is where it got interesting. He said he had got the exact same email and clicked the link, the next thing he knew was in his wave inbox he had 20 invites to send out!

I tried this and what do you know, I had a wave in my inbox saying I got nominate 20 friends to start using Google Wave! Yeeah!

Now I can finally get some friends on Wave.

I have already invited 3 who I know are interested so this is how many I have left!

If you are already on wave and get an email from Google Wave, make sure you click the link, it just may give you some invites in your inbox to send out!

I logged in today and the first thing that took my eye was this:

Twitter Lists! They are finally here, not quite sure what I am going to do with them or how I am going to set them up but i’m sure I will find a way of using them nicely.

Been playing around with them and currently created the following as test ones // these will probably change though in time and I will organise them much better with each list having specific people in for say like //

1. Internet Marketing Geniuses such as @shoemoney
2. iPhone / Mac Geeks such as @ijustine @iphone_dev @musclenerd @iphonearena
3. Mates such as @sarkie_dave @tonyyates @leecoupland
4. Family such as @eckafatcat @rhodzy62 @solance
5. Internet Mates such as @jerkmagnet @nikki_morris @rickt

Blah blah you get the picture!

Also noticed a few extra options on the home screen relating to the twitter lists:

This image has one change that is noticeable, it shows how many times you have been added into your followers lists, you can also follow these lists is the user has made them public instead of private.

This image also shows you the list of your Lists that have been created!

Get’s me wondering what other plans twitter has to make it better! I definitely didn’t see Twitter Lists coming!
