The blog with a love/hate relationship with technology
It seems everyone these days is piling on the criticism of Microsoft and making outlandish claims about The Borg’s imminent demise. I won’t go so far as the headline-trolling Gartner conference and declare Windows to be collapsing, but I will say the news coming out about Redmond’s future product development has to be making Apple [...]
Back in the heady days of dot com mania, RealPlayer seemed like a decent alternative to Windows Media Player. Heck, anything seemed like a decent alternative to WMP and RealNetworks seemed like they had something going. Oh how times have changed.
According to a report from WebSiteOptimization.com, iTunes has surpassed RealPlayer for online streaming and is [...]
Merry Apple Xmas. Hope there was something good for you in Santa Steve’s sack of goodies.
For me, anyway, the highlight of the Macworld keynote today was the new Apple TV. Lots of new features are being rolled out to make Steve’s “hobby” something actually useable. Now you can order movies, TV shows, and music right [...]
For the Apple faithful out there — even n00bs like me — the Macworld Expo is like a second helping of Christmas: Santa Steve in his black turtleneck stands up there on the stage and wows us with the gift of new Apple products that we simply must have.
The run-up to the event each year [...]
For those of you not in the know, the 2008 Macworld is a week away featuring what should be another interesting keynote address from Apple CEO Steve Jobs. What new iPods will be introduced? Will we be seeing a tablet PC from Apple? Personally I’m hoping for a next generation Apple TV to go along [...]
As if you needed me to tell you, don’t buy your MP3 player from Wal-Mart, unless you want to receive notes from the anti-tech underground or you want some pornography.
Apparently in Maryland someone purchased an iPod from a Wal-Mart in Germantown only to discover that the player had been removed from the box and replaced [...]
There it is in all its non-functioning glory, my almost 4-year-old Hewlett-Packard. How the mighty have fallen. And so young, too.
Actually, it’s not completely dead: If you try long enough it will post sometimes, and then you have a good shot at booting into Linux. It doesn’t like booting into Windows, though. I’m thinking [...]
In case you ever wanted to know how to remove the sim card from an Apple iPhone here’s a video that shows you how.

Don’t you wish you were flush enough to then toss my $600 iPhone into the “graveyard?”
Agreed this is not a good thing to have the poer line coming out of the adapter shorting and burning the insulation. On the other hand, maybe you shouldn’t wiggle the wire around like that to make it short and burn and smoke like that and just get a new one.

If you needed any more evidence that our society is insanely rich and wasteful, those wacky folks at Will it Blend will for your amusement completely destroy a $600 iPhone. And it is actually pretty amusing.
