Finally, a permissions glitch cropped up that caused some images to not load properly.

If nothing has changed, that means everything’s working great. If you see something out of order, post a comment.

We are aware of a few outdated links that have been reported (mostly on older articles). We’ll be getting to those over the next couple of days.

So, we’re filling the switches right now to boost our bandwidth speed. We’re now able to push at least 20 megabits per connection. That means you get your news faster… and that’s what we’re here to do every day.

Because there’s going to be even more activity associated with MechaWorks in the coming weeks… we may also be adding more servers. But, for now, we’ve just re-tooled out network configuration to get an extra burst of speed. Special thanks to the folks at RapidVPS for the amazing response time to help us get this done.

Update: Hang on folks, the speed boost hasn’t kicked in just yet. We’re working on it.

If you see this guy, feel free to say “hello” from all of us. In the mean time, we’re serving the search engines with DMCA notices… which will shut him off from both search engines, and from his junk advertising.

We didn’t clear the air on that, so now we will.

Essentially, Motorola was able to come up with their answer to QChat… by reverse engineering QChat. Motorola was hand-picked by Sprint Nextel to have first-look at QChat technology. And, with the iDEN team being the world experts on cellular PTT… reverse engineering QChat wasn’t so hard.

That is why there is so much confusion, and no, we really couldn’t piece the puzzle together before it all launched. Granted, we probably could have fingered Motorola sooner, but we wanted to give as accurate a picture as possible.

So, yes, Verizon is using technology stolen based on QChat. It was just that Motorola put it together, and reverse-engineered it.

This also puts Motorola in a powerful position. As being backers of both LTE and WiMAX… Motorola now has PTT expertise that they can put to use in both platforms. And, the Harmony (iDEN) team can rest assured, knowing that’s very good job security.

And no, that won’t be the only review, we have quite a few coming out shortly…

On top of everything else, I’ve encountered serious networking issues that occurred just after getting back to the office. So, we’re now offline basically. (Update: That problem was traced to our FiOS provider, SureWest, having a Remote Terminal update which mucked up wireless on the 5.8 GHz band… still, it’s just case in point of the muck we’ve been dealing with this week…)

Here’s what we’re doing about it. Effective right now, I have turned the phones off, I have turned the outside world off. Nothing will happen until I personally address each and every factor that we have identified this week… and I really don’t care what happens because of it.

We’re committed to being better, we are committed to being your first choice for wireless news. We’re going to bring on more staff, more redundancy, and more systems to make this site work better. And, until that happens, all you’ll see from us, is all the news we skipped over this week. So, please, stay tuned, you’ll see a lot more real soon.

Our new office has a few problems… gas and air conditioning both failed over the weekend. But, the real failures started Monday. First, our Linksys WRT350N failed. Then, I managed to brick my iPhone 3G (no, I wasn’t hacking it, simply powercycled it… and it now hangs at the Apple logo).

Long story short, when it rains, it pours. I’ll be back later this week, probably late Wednesday or Thursday.

As soon as the power came back online, we were back up and running. Sorry for the downtime.
