Microsoft Courier Killed
iPhone story getting on my nerves. I explain why. Steve Jobs says why he does not like Flash in a long memo that I doubt he wrote. Microsoft kills iPad killer. Telescope smashes car. Sony sued by Linux users. Apple gets into voice tech. New Ubuntu upgrades. MSFT hopes to embed media center into HDTV set directly. May do a deal with HTC.

Back to WordPress Default Theme
As anyone who has looked at my blog in the last week has no doubt noticed I totally messed up my sidebars. And in trying to fix the problem I totally messed up the rest of the theme too. So I’ve reverted back to the WordPress default theme while I try to work it all out. I’m not very happy about it either. Argh!

Nyet Neutrality?
HP to buy Palm. Why? For patents maybe? MSFT demands patent royalties from Andoid vendors. Are the earth’s oceans from outer space? Facebook hates privacy it seems. SF government worker found guilty. Activision getting sued. What is Windows Home Server? Win 7 embedded coming. Oregon Schools to use Google apps. Google says it is neutral to net neutrality. Phone stats indicate Android has an edge.

Apple Buys Chip Company
Idiotic debate over the “lost” iPhone continues unabated. Nobody is defending Gizmodo. US Senate getting on the Facebook case. Apple buys Intrinsity. Why not buy ARM? Motorola Android is the top Android. Courts to take on violent video game issues. Apple App store porn upsets people. Nokia N8 getting attention. SIMS coming to consoles. McAfee dealing.

Share on Facebook Updated
In the last week I’ve released 2 updates to the Share on Facebook plugin.
The first update, released last week, addresses functionality that several people had requested. Users wanted the ability to designate if the share should appear on posts, pages or both. So I added an option called Page Type that does just that.
The second, released earlier today, works around the issue I’ve gotten the most emails about for this plugin. Many people have gotten an error as follows:
fatal error
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in…/blog/wp-content/plugins/share-on-facebook/shareonfacebook.php on line 32
I collected enough information from those who emailed to see that this was only happening when PHP 4.x was being used so my standard reply to the issue was to ask your sys admin/service provider to upgrade PHP to the latest version. I realize that it’s kind of silly to risk any incompatibility issues that could occur with a PHP upgrade just to get a small plugin working but that was my standard answer because I simply had no other solution.
Last week I got an email from someone who had a solution. After discussing the issue and learning why the fix works (really why the code I had was wrong) I implemented the fix and released it earlier today.
Current users should be prompted to upgrade to the latest version, 1.5, today. New users should not see the error above. Everybody wins.
Enjoy.
