iPhone users take note! If push is what you desire, read on...

Over the past 3 weeks, I've probably WASTED 40-60 hours installing MobileME and then figuring out how the hell to uninstall this terrible application.

I can't speak for Mac users, but for PC users on an exchange server looking to install all the joys of PUSH technology, here are the steps and links to save you all the pain in the world.

To begin, you need to install ActiveSync (which I believe is a Microsoft solution ironically enough).

Here is a brilliant step-by-step walkthrough. Additional link here

Note: what worked for me was to delete my current iPhone user profile (mail/calendar/contacts) and THEN to install ActiveSync.

This is a terrific resource if you're already in quicksand and looking to pull yourself out.

PS My push is now working perfectly. Still not sure if I'm going to be whacked when I leave the country. For what it's worth, it has made me reconsider Blackberry as an alternative. I'm a big believer in focus and singularity.

Hasbro should change its name to Hasbeen

More riveting than the current Brett Favre soap opera (and almost as exciting as Delta Skelter) is the open-source dramedy known as Scrabble vs Scrabulous. Potato Potatoe you might say? Au contraire.

Proof that you can't keep a good Indian programmer down comes from the Agarwalla brothers, creators of the original and popular Facebook app (arguably the only one that actually worked) Scrabulous, who in the ultimate display of up-yours, have launched Wordscraper. Wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more say no more.

Where there were squares, now there are circles. BINGO!

Bottom line: go play Wordscraper. I'll be waiting to challenge you. Support Rayat and Jayant.

PS Hasbro's version of Scrabble is sucking royally (with cheese) on Facebook right now. Serves 'em right!

PPS With their new logo, I think they'll be sued by Six Flags next :)
