Companies that don’t get it: Burger King
Posted by Roy Tomeij | Filed under Miscellaneous
A while ago I wanted to know what time a nearby Burger King closes. What’s the easiest way to get that task done when on the train? Right, getting your iPhone and browsing to burgerking.nl (since I’m in The Netherlands).
To my surprise I got this:
Which translates to: “Nothing to see here. At least, not without the Flash 8 Plugin and JavaScript enabled. But, you can install the needed plugin faster than the time it takes to prepare a WHOPPER®. Except for maybe the TRIPPLE WHOPPER®. But then again, that’s a really huge Burger.” Read the rest of this entry »
Vodafone Mobile Connect on OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) with an E3730 data card
Posted by Roy Tomeij | Filed under Software
After trying numerous “solutions”, I finally managed to get my Vodafone “express data card” (the E3730 by Option) to work on OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard), together with Vodafone’s “Mobile Connect” software.
I don’t know if this works with all versions of Mobile Connect, but at least it did with this one: Vodafone Mobile Connect 2.11.04.00. After installing the Mobile Connect software (if you don’t have it yet), the trick is to “update” the drivers for the data card to the OSX 10.4 (Tiger) version. For this you need to download the Option drivers (Option forgot to add some extensions, so this goes to the proper zip I made after fixing them).
Simply open the dmg, install the 10.4 drivers and you’re done (or at least: I was).
PS: NO thanks to the Vodafone help desk, which doesn’t know sh*t and has been keeping me and numerous others in the blind since Snow Leopard was released. Spend a few $ on the developer release next time guys!
