I’ve always had a problem using the RSS feed from my Basecamp account. This problem occurs because I exclusively use Google Reader for feeds. Reader is one of the many feed readers that DO NOT support authenticated feeds. This would be a feed that requires some sort of username and/or password. Well now this problem is all but eliminated! A new service called FreeMyFeed allows you to enter your authenticated feed as well as your login information to receive a new feed that will be unprotected. They say that your usernames and passwords are never stored but so does every other site on the...

Today comes the long awaited announcement of the now infamous gPho….wha?… there was no gPhone announced today! Turns out it wasn’t a phone at all, well I guess it depends on how you look at it.

Basically it’s a bunch of companies banding together to stop the insanity that is today’s mobile phone. The goal so far is to make your mobile handset work the way you think it should. The alliance consists of partners such Google (of course), Motorola, Qualcomm,...

So it’s been a little less than a week since Google started to roll out the new IMAP access feature for Gmail. Do you know who still doesn’t have it? Yeah, that’s right, me! ( and apparently this guy too ) Anywho, this wouldn’t make me all that annoyed except I’ve always gotten the Gmail features right away. Chances are I probably wouldn’t even use IMAP as I don’t really like having a local email client. Especially since Gmail may actually get a new contact manager which would make me a little happier. Although Highrise is pretty cool. I know I’m...
