So long 2011 - as years go, you changed me and made me better - Big Rick

"Happiness is not something you postpone for the future; it is something you design for the present."
        - Jim Rohn 

Sunday, December 5, 2010, marked one year sin.ce the passing of Jim Rohn, one of America's foremost business philosophers.  Here is a sampling of his philosophy on life and business:

Skills: Don't wish it were easier; wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems; wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenges; wish for more wisdom.

Growth: Don't join an easy crowd. You won't grow. Go where the expectations and the demands to perform and achieve are high.

Change: We generally change ourselves for one of two reasons: inspiration or desperation.

Activity: The few who do are the envy of the many who watch.

Success: Success is what you attract by the person you become.

Verizon allows Motorola XYBoardMZ609 camera to get swiped

I am unable to use my XYBoard camera device with an  application that uses an industry standard CAM IP device address. I need to uninstall the Google Talk app that was pre-loaded by Verizon on ROM but need to root the device to be able to move the Google Talk app from the SD Rom into the trash.

Google Talk and Video apps steals the camera away from standard USB settings and other CAM apps render "device not found" because the device name was changed by Google. As an open source expert, I find Google's programming practice appalling. Please join me to insist that they and Verizon not swipe the camera in this manner. I have registered complaints with Google, Motorola, and Verizon.

When I find the correct Update.zip file to properly root my tablet I will share it.

Happy Holidays and a prosperous 2012 New Year!
