Boxcar Growl Plugin Not Working?

May 24, 2011 By Stephen Leave a Comment

Push notifications on the iPhone and iPad were a great idea, but the implementation stinks. All too often, I have to dismiss multiple notifications before I can actually use the device, and it's difficult to customize which notifications show or beep me.

Over the last year I've really jumped into recording podcasts, from InfoSmack to the VMware Communities Roundtable. Since I work out of my home office, I'm also an avid audio and video conference user.
