“MobiShow allows your Smartphone to show any content to big screens (projectors, TVs, etc.) through Wi-Fi connection. For purposes of business presentation or personal entertainment, MobiShow is your best ShowMate”

For those of us on the go that may need to present just from a Windows Phone, MobiShow from AWind looks particularly interesting. If you’re sick of toting a laptop just to run a powerpoint, check it out and tell us if you’ll be placing an order.

Maybe it’s because I am a geek that I just accept that things I want to work will not always do so. Maybe it’s because I’m forgiving of this that I don’t often rant about it. But here is one issue that I need to bring up to highlight why companies aren’t flocking away from Windows Mobile to a platform such as Android.

One thing I really liked about my G1 when I got it was the fact I could use Google Reader to catch up on my headlines while on the go. The Webkit browser seemed to work much better than any other mobile browser I’d used, and I was happy with it. But recently, I’ve found that when I hit “Mark these items as read”, they don’t get marked. They just reload again when pulling the next 15 items (Which are just the same 15 items I’ve seen before). I thought this may just be me, until I found others reporting the same problem. Apparently big G changed something around mid-March that broke the web interface “mark all these items as read” button. The best I can tell, this issue has been around now for about 1 1/2 months, and Google’s only response has been “We’re working on it”.

So a Google-driven OS is having problems with a Google product and the best users get is “We’re working on it…” and effectively a mobile outage of what some would consider a mission critical application. This doesn’t bode well for Google, cloud computing, or Android. And it’s one reason people stay with Windows Mobile.

WinMo may not be the prettiest, but I’m having a really hard time remembering the last time it didn’t work with a critical MS application because MS changed the application, but left the mobile users stranded.

If you don’t know, and I wouldn’t doubt you if you said you didn’t, Ghost Hunters is a show on the SciFi channel that focuses on a group of individuals who seek to document evidence of paranormal activity. Karey enjoys watching the show religiously, and I enjoy watching it was well (I don’t particularly like the cast of the spin-off show, Ghost Hunters International, so I usually sit out for that show when it comes on). Anyway, the Ghost Hunters go about “hunting” a bit differently than other shows I’ve seen on the subject, which is why I’m posting on it. The investigators firmly believe a core tenant of good scientific investigation: The best way to prove the existence of something is to try your hardest to disprove it. The logic goes something like this: If you exhaust all “normal” explanations for what you observe, then your observations are likely to be paranormal. This type of thinking isn’t anything new, it’s actually derived from core tenants of the philosophy of science

I’m a ghost hunter – see, I found the picture of two real ghosts!

So here are some guys trying to prove the existence of something by working as hard as they can to disprove anything seemingly paranormal they find. If they capture something on film, they attempt to explain it or even replicate it. If they capture sounds which may be contaminated by still-living humans, they throw the evidence out. This is in stark contrast to many other paranormal advocates which do not use science at all in their investigations (fuzzy science doesn’t count).
