It’s a tricky question but the jerk we call Steve Jobs has made it so easy for me to say no:
Fixing stuff isn’t a feature: I’m more than pissed about the recessed headphone jack. I had to go out and buy a $10 adapter because Steve said it was the best and only way–it had [...]
I have a huge issue with how tickets were sold here on Monday/Tuesday to the World Series games in Denver. My biggest issue is with the lying, unfair company behind the online ticket sales, Paciolan Inc.
Here’s a run-down of all the issues and what I suspect really happened:
No tickets were sold in-person: They said putting [...]

Happy iCal Day! If you use a Mac and have iCal in the tray you’ll notice the icon always shows July 17th. Well, for once it’s right! I find this especially humorous because I’ve started using my Mac as my primary computer (I’m going to be out of town for 3 weeks, I need to [...]
Amongst all the noise surrounding the iPhone last week, did anyone notice slash care about the announcement of T-Mobile @ Home? Free calls when originated in a WiFi hotspot? Excellent.
I love the internet. I’ve grown up with it. Even as a kid I remember being addicted to it. In fact, I sometimes forget how things got done before it was around. I can’t imagine what it was like to register for classes with a pencil and paper. It’s scary how much we rely on [...]

I was pointed to an interesting mobile service earlier last week named MoVoxx. The describe themselves as the “first localized mobile alerts platform that extends traditional static advertising offers to a dynamic mobile network.” What on Earth does that mean…
I’ve had the pleasure of testing out a new product (previously named “The Venice Project”) that will, perhaps, revolutionize the way we experience “television” in the coming years. From the creators of Skype (free online calls) comes Joost (free online TV). Is it awesome? Yes. Is it in a closed beta? Yes. But will I [...]
Apparently YouTube was listed as Time’s Top Invention of 2006. As Nathan so simply explained, YouTube is hardly an invention. In fact, a lot of what we’ve come to use and appreciate in the last few years are far from original ideas. I submit we haven’t seen anything dramatically different for many years.
You may not have noticed but I recently bought myself a toy. Brace yourself: it was a black Macbook. I know, right? Who would’ve guessed? My friends all snickered. The others that had already “converted” let out their sighs of relief (aka “finally!”).
