Fujitsu P1610 Now Shipping with Vista Business
I’ll admit I’ve been linking to jkOnTheRun a lot for news lately, but James and Kevin are simply on top of everything a mobile pro needs. I’ve been following James Kendrick’s use of his P1610 for several months and have to admit it’s currently my top choice for my next computer. My second choice [...]
CompUSA Closing Stores
According to this post over at jkOnTheRun, CompUSA is closing up to half of its brick and mortar stores. While customers should be able to clean up with discounts starting around 20% off, the big question to me is why.
Personally, I think this is a natural cycle for the computer industry. The consumer base [...]
End of the line for Windows Live Writer?
It may be for me. My new theme simply does not like WLW created posts - mainly because it does not create strict XHTML. Why can’t Microsoft adhere to a standard? It really frosts my balls when they have some great (and complex) products, but they can’t follow something as simple as [...]
Experts & Global Warming
“Experts” are constantly screaming that the sky is falling. I’m getting really tired of this socialist agenda real quick. This topic is simply a tool for re-engineering of society. Every “green” pundit that has an opinion gets to spout their excrement to the MSM, and the MSM gulps it down without rebuttal [...]
Enterprise Documentation
Ever had to write documentation for projects at work? The process can be tedious and fun at the same time. At least it is for me most of the time as the creative process lets you explore the best way to communicate a topic.
At the same time, its only as interesting as a person makes [...]
A lawyer: Parsing Steve Jobs’ alternative views of the future
Of course, he misses the point, and does not follow the blogoshpere. I’ve been preaching and predicting DRM-free music for almost 9 months now. The reality for the record companies is that they have missed their opportunity to really control the digital market because they were to intent on leaching every penny from every music [...]
DST 2007 & Microsoft Outlook or Exchange
WTF?
How many people have read the KB article (931667) over at Microsoft concerning the “Addressing the daylight saving time changes in 2007 using the Outlook Time Zone Data Update Tool“? Go read it, I’ll wait…
Ok, glad your back - now I know that it was really congress that passed this smelly turd along to everyone [...]
Non-DRM’ed MP3s from the major Record Labels?
It could happen as early as this year according to this article in the NYT. While it would certainly take some time for the entire recording industry to come around to the idea, it sounds like at least one record company will try marketing tunes in unrestricted MP3 format in the next few months.
Again, I [...]
ScobleShow’s exclusive lunch with Bill Gates at CES 2007
How did I miss this? Robert Scoble captured the visit that Bill Gates had with a number of technology and gadget sites.
Some of the sites participating in the discussion are Engadget, Gizmodo, Kotaku, and Joystiq.
The discussion was fantastic in the depth of categories of technology covered. As usual, Bill Gates is a [...]
Cingular users: Welcome to AT&T
Starting today, Cingular will start to publicly become AT&T in print, radio and television ads. Though not all existing adds will be changed immediately, you may start seeing the transformation. Also watch for signage changes at the Cingular stores, and on the billing and communications from Cingular.
So if you were a former AT&T [...]
