Here is an easy guide for using Bluetooth to connect a PPC or Smartphone to a PC and get ActiveSync to operate.

1. Add an incoming COM port in your Bluetooth software.
2. Under CONNECTIONS in ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Center, select “Allow connection to one of the following” and check the list, use the COM port created with your Bluetooth software.
3. Refresh your paired devices services on your PPC or Smartphone and you’ll see ActiveSync pop up

Yes, it’s THAT easy. Good Luck and I hope this helps the majority of those suffering from their lack of BT ActiveSync connections.

Guide for Canadians Wanting to Access Demonoid

From www.zeropaid.com: “Demonoid … has apparently been forced to block Canadian visitors after having been threatened with legal action by the CRIA (Canadian Recording Industry Association).

For those Canadian users who aren’t quite sure how to visit the site without being blocked I’ve reposted a helpful guide from the Demonoid forums here for you to check out and use.”

Circumventing the recent decision to block Canadians from visiting the popular BitTorrent tracker site

From businessweek.com: “I’ve written elsewhere about how I don’t much care for Radiohead’s music. But what they’re doing with the selling of their just-announced new album is nothing short of brilliant.

For starters: Radiohead–probably the biggest unsigned band in the world–is putting out said album, In Rainbows, without any record label. For another: If you want to buy a digital download of the album, you go to Radiohead’s Web site and pay . . . whatever price you want to pay.

Getting physical copies of In Rainbows does cost something, but for a high price one gets a pretty luxe package.”

This rocks! I’ve been waiting for 6 or 7 years for a band to make this move! I am going to order the new album on vinyl, not only to enjoy it but to support them for this bold initiative.

Here it comes! At long last, the death of the (mafia-controlled, monopolized) music industry!!!
