Ok, so the new OS will be impressive, the battery life is impressive, but I just want to say that I wish that they would focus on making their new products more durable just every once in a while instead of smaller and more fragile. Also, they’re overpriced, and the Apple TV is even lamer [...]

Apple Battery Charger
Really guys… you make some cool computers but a battery charger…? The only impressive thing about this charger is the 30 mW “vampire draw,” otherwise it charges 2 batteries, and overall, who cares? NiMH batteries are a good technology, they always have been, and they all last a long time. The fact that it looks [...]
Inappropriate Ads Before Tragic Stories
I just want to say that I checked out 2 news sources for the recent tragic shooting in Manchester, CT. CNN made me watch an upbeat “Gillette Fusion ProGlide” razor commercial before hand and WTNH went even a step further and had a KIA salesman follow me around the screen. I know three things for [...]
Fuck You Greenpeace
So I better start by listing all of the green things I do before I talk about how I was annoyed by a bunch of douche bags from Greenpeace while I was trying to enjoy a day at the farmer’s market today. So let’s start with that. 1. I buy as much local food as [...]
Steve Jobs Likes The 1984 Style On Stage
http://www.macrumors.com/2010/06/03/authorities-begin-evidence-examination-in-gizmodo-iphone-case/ So Steve, I just want to say that sitting with a big picture of yourself behind yourself while your company is going after some guy from Gizmodo about your stupid new iPhone is kind of very Orwellian. Seriously Steve, retire…. you’re creepy. Plus the Android phones are better anyway.
iPad Impressions
So I’ve finally had a chance to really support and play with the iPad and I have to say that overall, I’m impressed. It’s not quite for me yet since I can’t do quite everything that I want to do with it, but for 80% of users out there, it does 90% of what they [...]
God Of War 3 (Wait until It’s $40 bucks or less)
So like many people who played the original God Of War offerings I couldn’t wait until God Of War III came out. In fact it was more exciting to me than Christmas (mostly because my family doesn’t believe in exchanging gifts for Christmas but that’s not what this is about). Anyway, God of War III [...]
IT And Why You Need To Care — Chapter 2
Chapter 2 – A Classical Example of University “IT” So before I write this obscene account of mafia-like management systems and government waste, I should say that inspite of all of this, about half of the people I and the characters in my story worked with here were really good, hard working people. The problem [...]
Food Revolution Petition
So yeah, I signed it. I’m not the biggest corporate supporter out there so going to abc.com wasn’t high on my list of priorities, but I think that this idea is pretty awesome. Probably as awesome as GNU/Linux. What does it have to do with technology, well processed food is an excellent example of the [...]
Dell Forcing People To Buy Windows With New PCs (with few exceptions)
Remember how only a little over a year ago Dell sold several desktops and notebooks with the options of No OS, Ubuntu, or some copy of Windows on them as a choice when you bought a system? Remember how awesome that was? If you were a SUSE user, for example, you could order a Dell [...]
