Selling Twitter accounts - what’s this b.s.?
So Andrew Baron has his Twitter account for sale on ebay? Can anyone tell me what the point of this exercise is? Other than a money grab that is.
I mean, who among his followers would keep following the account when they discover it’s not actually him? So that negates the value of his follower [...]
Is the blogosphere doomed by unprofessional behavior?
These public bitchfest’s by the supposed “A-List” really need to be taken offline. This crap has filled my RSS reader for too long - I want to be reading real, valuable, useful information from these “thought leaders”, not this drivel. If you can’t share an opinion in a way that adds value - [...]
Twitter’s Aflitter (again)
I really hate to pick on my favorite online service, but… I have to. Twitter started having issues today with all the traffic from “Mac (obsession) World” today. Supposedly over all the mcInterest in what mcRevelations of mystical mcGadgetry Steve mcJobs would reveal for the mcFollowers of the mcCult.
What get’s me curious is how Twitter [...]
T-Mobile 3G: When?
You know, I’m a fairly patient guy. However, I’m just about at my wit’s end with the constant delays in T-Mobile rolling out 3G data services. I use mobile data services, and really need to have a faster connection than the ~150kbps that my current T-Mobile EDGE service allows.
Sure, I’ve got the plan that [...]
Online music choices - where’s the choice?
I talked about this a little over a year ago. I was pretty gung-ho about URGE, the music service offered by MTV and Microsoft. It seamlessly integrated into Windows Media Player 11, could be used on up to 3 computers, and sync tunes to both my Windows Mobile smartphone, and my wife’s Nokia 5300 XpressMusic [...]
Has the tech corner been turned?
I’ve always found it a tad weird when I have these flashes of intuition. I’d be the first to admit that it comes from being influenced by what I read and such, but lately I’ve been shying away from a lot of my traditional tech sources. Not sure why, but I really [...]
Slashdot | Sun May Be Warming Both Earth and Mars
I’m shocked, SHOCKED that “global warming” could actually be a natural phenomenon! Amazing that the National Geographic actually reported this. The audacity to suggest that pollution generated by humanity has reached the ability to trump the natural cycles of this planet is astounding. Its well known that cattle the world over release more CO2 (and methane ) into the atmosphere [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Unsubscribing from Scripting News
Alright, I’ve had enough whining from Dave Winer’s blog. Obviously all he wants to rant about during the election cycle is his slant of politics - which of course, while different than my viewpoint, is full of old-media bits and bites. He has made some good points over the last few weeks, but [...]
