Welcome to Linux Screw! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe our RSS feed.
Some time ago I wrote about syncing mobile phone contacts and calendar with online service ZYB. Today I’d like to share my experience of Motorola Razr V3 sync by means of this free service. I’d like to mention that advantage of this method is that it doesn’t matter what operating system you use, it can be Linux, Apple Mac or even M$ Window$. All operations are done with any browser you use.
First of all register new account at ZYB or login to existing one at www.zyb.com. After first successful login you’ll be suggested to register your mobile phone model with the online system. Just choose your model in a wide phone models list. In my case I choose Motorola Razr V3.
In order to upload your phone contacts to your contacts and calendar/datebok data to ZYB perform the following operations with your Motorola Razr v3:
| 1. |
Go to Menu |
| 2. |
Go to Connection or connectivity |
| 3. |
Go to Sync |
| 4. |
Select New entry |
| 5. |
Name: ZYB |
| 6. |
Url: http://sync.zyb.com/ |
| 7. |
Username: your ZYB login |
| 8. |
Password: your ZYB password |
| 9. |
Select Data Paths, click Change |
| 10. |
Address book: contacts |
| 11. |
Dateboook: calendar |
| 12. |
Press Done to save |
| 13. |
Select ZYB from the list and click on Select to start syn |
When sync is done you’ll see your contacts at your personal ZYB page. It’s very comfortable to edit them online and then sync with your Razr V3 by performing 13 step of above operations list.
ZYB provides a feature that allows to sync data between many mobile phones you own. Many phone models are supported, so it would be useful to check if it is supported by ZYB before buying it

Today I noticed that my Google Analytics statistics shows that more than 25% of all visitors of Linux Screw use… Microsoft Windows and Internet Explorer. That is another story why it is so at site mainly dedicated to Linux and Open Source, but here is the nice site that allows you to see how your browser looks like in Internet Explorer when you can’t run different versions of IE on you PC/laptop (like me). Of course there are such tools as Wine and IEs4Lin but the most simple way to take a glance is to visit IE NetRenderer. At the same time this web utility shows only a screenshot of the URL you feed NetRenderer with and doesn’t allow to surf your site as like you use IE for browsing. If you need latter, just install… Windows (JOKE!!! he-he ) IEs 4 Linux.

As we all know WAN/Internet hosting service runs servers in WAN/Internet allowing different organizations and individuals to publish and share their content with other global network subscribers. One of the most popular Internet hosting is web hosting service where hosting providers offer wide variety of services which differ one from another by various of factors like price, included bandwidth, available web space, additional features like mailboxes, load balancing capabilities, DNS hosting and many others.
It is not easy today to choose which hosting provides will cover ones needs and which one will do it at best price and in the best way. Thankfully there are such sites as Cheap Web Hosting Review helping you to make this decision. As it is said at their site you can find special hosting site in special directories depending on your needs and desirable features of hosting you need. The main purpose of this site is to provide useful information about inexpensive web hosing services between reviewed ones. It is nice that such reviews include price, uptime stats and checks and some additional information that would be helpful for those who finds appropriate hosting provider (HP) and hosting plan at reasonable price.
I really hope that you will find the hosting provider with Cheap Web Hosting Review that will satisfy you as an owner of web page and will allow to save some money you can spend for advertising your site or building link campaign.

Few days ago I came across a nice Blogging service named thoughts.com. As it’s said on their site, you can easily create a blog (they call it personal online journal) and share it with other everyone in Internet. And what is nice you can do it totally free of charge. Besides, it is possible to upload your digital photos, videos, audio podcasts, bookmark the latest news and chat with other members of great community in forums (for example, it is especially important for me).
As for me thoughts.com is designed with a simplicity in mind and allows you to decide for each blog post if you want it to be public, private, or only viewable by your friends and family. And you can do it really easily.
Here are the most popular blogs created with mentioned service: rgrylls’s blog, kentlass’s blog, thehughman1’s blog (WARNING: Explicit Content), roe’s blog and others (Popular blogs Top 10).
Few months ago Linux Screw was down due to the fact of exceeded bandwidth. With above mentioned blogging service you won’t suffer from such situation as you’ll get unlimited bandwidth for free.
Looks like a competitive service, actually I’m thinking about to create a blog profile there to share my personal thoughts.
You are welcome to try! Recommended by Linux Screw
