Why Google Can’t I Sync My Tasks

Am I the only one that would really really like to be able to sync my tasks with due dates like a calendar to my iphone? Really how hard would that be?

Help Syncing a massive library of Books in iTunes 10

So I added my entire library of eBooks to iTunes 10 with the desire to sync a few of them to iBooks on my iPhone. It just so happens that iTunes adds them all checked. Which means if your sync is on and you don't have much space you can go way over. So I start unchecking them one by one and it is taking forever. Here is the fix, uncheck the sync books in the books tab. Ahh, now I have my space back back on my device for syncing but that doesn't solve problem. Now go back to your iTunes Library under books and manually drag a book or two into your device. Magic! they sync over manually. However, even better you'll notice that when you go back to the sync books page on your in devices you'll notice that "Sync Books" is turned back on and only the books you manually synced are checked. Yea!

More on Twitter, Facebook, and Buzz

It wasn’t long ago I was thinking Facebook was a pretty good idea. Now I’m thinking it’s not Facebook at all, its having all my friends and family using the same social service. I have been increasingly concerned about privacy on Facebook. But I guess they aren’t the only one collecting data on our internet activity. I would like to dump Facebook (mostly because I hate all the quizzes and apps like Farmville) but I can’t seem to leave until everyone else does. Twitter is pretty cool still but it has become more of a news and current events feed for me. I haven’t posted there much recently. I’ve come to hate tweets with a link and no content or those full of hash tags. Now, along comes Google with their new Buzz right in my email. I wish they hadn’t totally screwed up the launch because It seems to be the right amount of Facebook and Twitter mix I’ve been looking for. I think it needs its own method of easily posting videos (just figured out pics upload) rather than linking to other services. Linking to other services is cool but needs to be much faster. I posted a tweet and it showed up 12 hrs later in my Buzz feed. I’d really like to see a Facebook link to my friends status updates in buzz. And if I could could have a Facebook app update my status from Buzz I’d never have to log into Farmbook again. I could live like a e-agoraphobic comfortably within my gmail page. Crossing my fingers it will survive.
