Blog Plugin: Simply Exclude

I found this great WordPress plugin, Simply Exclude, it gives the administrator of a WordPress blog/site the ability to decide what is visible where.  Meaning that I can, in my case, hide my Twitter updates from the front page and from the RSS feeds, but still search and archive them.  You can get this plugin from Codehooligans.com .

Blackberry Storm: C|Net Video Review

This is the C|Net New.com video review of the Blackberry Storm.  The Storm is on Verizon in the United States and on Telus and Bell in Canada. This may make up for the lack of iPhone on Telus and Bell.

 

 

Rogers vs Bell vs Telus

An interesting note came across my scope today, I noticed that Bell, the largest CDMA cell phone provider has a new smartphone data/audio package. The new plans give subscribers 350 anytime minutes, unlimited nights and weekends (9p to 7a) local calling, national unlimited talk and text to five numbers, and 500mb of data… and the most important detail, $35/. This is available for all smart-phones (Blackberry or Windows Mobile). My opinion of this is that I should hold off on my LG Keybo purchase in hopes that Rogers (the Canadian iPhone carrier) will come out with a comparable pack. As it stands, I’m willing to spend $35+fees/mo, but the current $60+fees/mo. Any question of the iPhone’s predicted success in Canada seems grim, and if Rogers offered anything less than $60 (even equal to Bell’s new plans) sales may be acceptable, giving us the iPhones we want, and giving Ted Rogers the profits he wants.
