Just found Ed Bott's report of the "crapware" free laptop that Sony have given him to review (thanks to John Gruber/ Daring Fireball ). I'm glad for Ed that he's so happy, and this is certainly a big improvement over the last time...
In the grand tradition of this blog, I need to apologise for not posting again. I don't have much of a defence, except that I've been very busy at work for reasons that I can now talk about: My employer has finally received all the confirmations...
I just wanted to quickly gather up some links to articles I've found interesting of late. First of all, Claus Valca has some great posts over on Grand Stream Dreams. I want to draw your attention to a link roundup and comments post Claus made a week...
Just some quick notes on what I've noticed, or been told by people I trust, about XP SP3 so far. My own experiences are based on a clean install at home and a few test upgrades at work (ah the benefits of being paid to do R&D). What XP Service...
I was originally going to base the title on The Scorpions' " Rock You Like a Hurricane " but then I realised that "suck you" was open to all kinds of misinterpretation and wouldn't end well. Still on with what I really wanted...
So it seems the fruits of Ray Ozzie's labour at Microsoft are starting to appear in public at last. And I for one say "Your point being...?" I'd love to link to their blog at this point to let them explain it, but it seems that their...
I have to admit that some areas of the computer industry make me asahmed to be part of the IT profession at times. Take gaming - 1up.com's article on 5 botched game launches talks about Steam ... Yes, yes, we all love Steam now. By which we mean "It...
Glenn Wolsey posted today about his experiences with migrating from a desktop machine to a MacBook Pro and how it's caused him to re-think his storage strategy. This got me thinking about my own computers and storage needs. I'm actually very happy...
As if they didn't already have a bit of a reputation in some parts, it seems the people behind MacHeist have really decided to sink as low as they can this year. If you're involved with MacHeist in any way, I'd like to take a moment to thank...
I'm sure it'll come as no shock to regular visitors here to learn that I've upgraded to Leopard today. Will it last as long as my Vista install? Place your bets now! The Leopard install took about 30 or 40 mins with the "archive"...
In the cases below I’m talking about commands that can either be run natively by the operating system, or (in the case of Windows at least) are available as free addons. Windows Remember that Windows commands are case INsensitive, e.g. "PING" and "ping...
Daring Fireball and Tech Crunch clued me in to this foul horror posing as a new email client. Long story short, it turns your email folder into GTA 3-style 3D action. No I'm not kidding. I wish I was. I actually tried to register for this horror movie...
Yes, more mobile stuff. What can I say, it's where I've been at work recently. Moving on, has someone launched some kind of new phone recently? There seems to be a lot of fuss in the news at the moment about some kind of Smartphone. Perhaps the...
Due to Windows Mobile Device Centre Center sucking so hard it can pull a very large watermelon through a very small straw at one hundred paces, I had cause to do a hard reset on my current phone . Yes I am still annoyed about that. But no I'm not going...
From Daring Fireball (just joined today by the way, after spending 3 days on a rather dry course, reading the site archives). Actual press release on Yahoo Business. Well I wonder if any of the Windows advocates who love to take cheap shots at Apple will...
