I find it absolutely amazing and unacceptable that Apple can get away with almost a full day (so far) of downtime of their MobileMe (previously known as .Mac) service and there’s hardly any news/blog coverage of the event.
What was supposed to happen:
7/9/2008 8PM: Shutdown .Mac
7/10/2008 12AM: Startup MobileMe
What has happened:
7/9/2008 10PM: Shutdown .Mac
7/10/2008 ALL DAY: [...]

iPhone 2.0 (Software) - Finally, ActiveSync support, the long awaited App Store, and search capabilties. Though I thought the launch would be immediate, it is actually July [...]

iPhone 2.0 (Software) - Finally, ActiveSync support, the long awaited App Store, and search capabilties.
iPhone 2 - 3G, GPS, more capacity (16/32GB) and 802.11n support.
Unlocked [...]

You know, since I got my MacBook Pro last year, I’ve become a total Mac convert. I bought Neela a MacBook Pro. I bought a Mac Mini as my desktop, replacing a huge custom built PC tower. I even bought another Mac Mini for my entertainment center, to watch digital media.
And I’ve [...]

I own two Logitech Harmony remote controls (the 880, for the family room, and the XBox 360 for the room with the games and PS3). Up until recently I had no problems updating the remotes with my MacBook Pro. However, this past week I wanted to update the XBox 360 Harmony remote with some new [...]

You may remember that I said I was going to try out Remember the Milk last week. If not, catch up now.
All caught up? Good. I played with RTM a bit more and decided I’m going to give it a try. It seems to work really well and lots of people [...]

Why? I’m not sure. I do know that I hatelove to be on top of technology.
Oh wait, you didn’t get the question? Why am I upgrading my perfectly working Windows XP Pro to Windows Vista?

I actually tried this earlier today and failed.
My pre-work was creating a [...]

I’m attempting to create a Hackint0sh. I’ve got kick-ass hardware:
P5B Deluxe Mobo
2×300GB SATA Drives
2GB 800MHz RAM
2.4GHz Core 2 Duo (E6600)
256MB GeForce 7600GT PCI-E
Plenty of I/O ports in front and back (kick ass Antec case)
I don’t use my old Ubuntu config anymore, sadly. I’ve still got Windows running on the secondary drive, but I [...]

Don’t use it!! My Macbook Pro went to shit when I installed it. MSN Messenger.Mac crashed repeatedly, every time I closed a conversation window. Adium’s Growls showed up empty. Parallels kept crashing. I uninstalled it and everything was perfect.
Update: It works fine now that I updated to the latest Parallels, [...]
