So much hype for so little. The promise: a new niche with an new, exciting user interface. To me the reality is that the iPad competes with other tablets and netbooks. There are a few new UI features (mainly multitouch) but for the most part it behaves just like a big ipod touch.
Before I start [...]
I just bought a new Hewlett Packard Windows 7 PC. The machine is fine but it comes with no recovery discs. First they stopped giving you manuals, then the Windows CD/DVDs, and now the recovery discs.
The machine comes with a partition containing the initial, recoverable state of the machine which is fine if you can [...]
I like the fact that the FCC is checking up on these big companies. I don’t expect us, the consumers, to benefit much which is presumably the point. However, this peak behind the scenes should push the companies in the right direction so that they avoid PR problems.
I do note with interest that only Google [...]
I suffer from smart phone purchase paralysis. That is, I want to buy a smart phone but because all the phones require a 2 year plan commitment I don’t want to make the wrong decision because I will have to live with it (and pay for it) for so long.
First the iPhone v.1 came out [...]
If you are reading this you are probably one of the 20 million (and counting) people that have watched the video of Susan Boyle singing on Britain’s Got Talent. She’s got a nice voice but is not the kind of singer I would normally listen to. I much more enjoyed seeing the reactions of the [...]
My old iPod mini died a few months ago (the USB connection killed the driver on my computer requiring a reboot and the ipod would just die a few times a day) so I bought the latest (4th.) generation iPod nano.
I bought the 8Gbyte version for $150. That is twice the storage at a lower [...]
Okay, this is really silly but it’s also really funny and captures all the main plot points of the movie Kill Bill. Kill Bill in One Minute has the main character (the Bride) moving across a football field meeting (and mainly killing) all the characters in the movie. I give it 2 thumbs up.
My first opinion is that companies never space out their products to match the way that I purchase them. I have wanted a netbook for years (a small, light portable computer) and was really happy when that market took off. Not being one to jump in to a new category I was waiting for the [...]
My 10 month old iMac died about 10 days ago and I called Apple Care. The support rep quickly determined that it was the hard drive and set up an appointment at the nearest Apple Store for the next day. In the store they flashed my name on a big board showing the next appointments [...]
I hate printing web pages because of all the miscellaneous junk on them. I usually do a lot of cut and paste to pick out just what I want. Well, no more thanks to Print What You Like. This very innovative and useful website allows you to easily manipulate web pages to get just the [...]
