The BlackBerry 8703e (Verizon Wireless edition): Release dates were/are as follows: August 28th, September 17th & September 18th. The 8703e is going to be a revised version of Cingular’s 8700c / T-Mobile’s 8700g but with EVDO (nice!)… who knows if they are going to add any other features in this revision but considering that this is going to be a Verizon exclusive device it is more likely that this phone will be crippled in some fashion. Any way you look @ it Verizon is going to finally have a great BlackBerry device in their lineup and that is saying a lot!

UPDATE:BoyGenius has the 8703e spec sheet here!

myFairTunes6 v.0.2b - Windows C++ Port of QTFairUse6: An AAC Stream Capture based loosely on Igor Skochinsky’s Freely available QTFairUse6 Python source code. This extremely beta software features support for iTunes versions: 6.0.5.x, auto browse your entire iTunes library(s) for M4P files (DRM’d filez), backup and replace DRM’d filez with newly scrubbed MP3/AAC’s. There has been some talk about the loss of metadata during the scrubbing process so please beware that you may have to reneter this data, though this is a small price to pay for DRM free files it can become some what of a pain.

The Best Antivirus Results as of August: The is way to much to talk about here but if you are truly interested in SUPERIOR AV protection (non of dat Norton s#!^) they take a look at these results. The mentionables of course are NOD32 (for its superior heuristics abilities) & Kaspersky.

Kablooey Mail: A very slick webmail service that allows the end user to control what happens to their mail after they have sent it. Comes with a handy dandy Mission Impossible *this message will self destruct in 30 seconds* feature. How doesn’t need this? I had signed up with their services and will report back once I have completed my findings / tests. They are currently still BETA now… but then again who isn’t these days?

Hamachi Bought by LogMeIn: The creator of the popular LAN to LAN VPN software, Hamachi has been puchased by one of the most useful and resourceful companies on the internet, LogMeIn.com. If you haven’t used this software then I would highly recommend that you go and download this FREE software as soon as possible. LogMeIn reports

Through Hamachi, LogMeIn customers can get the instant-VPN functionality they require

Who doesn’t need that? Sources have reported that the Alex, the creator/owner of Hamachi spent much time analyzing LogMeIn as a company before deciding to sell his software and 3.9 million user base to them. He was very interested in their privacy policies and security infrastructre and he (and now I) was very pleased to see that privacy is their #1 concern when it comes to user data and access.
