Listener Anthony sent an email wanting to know how he could “password protec” a folder. Here is a short screencast (almost my first attempt at doing this) showing Anthony how to create a password protected disk image. This is the most secure way of doing this. Let me know what you thought of it.
Today at the high recommendation of Tom While (Trucker Tom) I got a SPRINT EVDO card . I use to have a Verizon EVDO and enjoyed it, but my satisfaction with Verizon was very low.
I got the Ovation U720 which is a USB EVDO modem card. Setting it up for a Mac was not very easy but I was able toget it done while at the Sprint Store.
As you can see pretty nice speed. We will see how it works in other places.

Is this someone’s idea of a joke? The ABC News website ran a story titled, “Motorola Takes a Cut at iPhone“.
How will Motorola take a cut at the iPhone? With a new RAZR, that’s how!
We finally got to see what “wickedly cool” is.
It’s now going to be “sleeker and sexier”. Curiosity got the better of me and I went to Motorola’s website to check out this new RAZR. The funny thing is that it looks a lot like the RAZR I have sitting next to me… the one that turns itself off and on again if I close it too quickly or too hard. The other thing I noticed was that the RAZR seems to be way more phone than screen. Upon closer inspection I couldn’t help but also notice that it had buttons!
Buttons?!? On a phone that will compete with the iPhone? Right!
So what am I planning to do with my RAZR once I get an iPhone? Well, I have something in mind.
