I'm Back!

Winter vacation is over and its time to get back to finding neat stuff in the tech world to bring back to all three of you reading this!So lets start with a neat gadget you might find useful for accessing all of your media on your phone remotely, even if you have a stupid phone(non-smartphone).

Most people now have Droid or iPhones, but what about the rest of us who are stuck with phones who are more closely related to our grandparents? Well the solution isn't entirely simple but if you can bring your self to focus your attention span we'll see about getting you set up with a program called Orb.

First up you'll need to visit the Orb home page to download the orb software and install it. Then it will open a wizard to help you set everything up, just follow the directions.

Now once you have the software installed and set up you still have a few tweaks to make. Go down to the system tray and double click the little green orb icon. This brings up the Orb control panel where you'll need to go to the 'Users' tab to add your media folders and enable your remote access aspect of it. Once you check the box it should bring up a menu that will let you set up your login for this next byte.

Once you have everything set up that way you can now go to any phone or pc and access all of the folders you selected through the wizard. Just go to mycast.orb.com to browse through and stream your media

Log in> browse > stream > enjoy!
