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: [...]

Well, the keynote is said and done. We have some good stuff coming our way. Now let’s see how I stacked up against the actual announcements:
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 [...]

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?
We all caught up now? Good.
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 [...]

Somehow, after all my rhetoric about Apple, I ended up being a Mac user. How?
Well, I went to pick up my Lenovo T60p from our help desk. It took almost a month to arrive, and I was excited to get it. When I get there I noticed a whole row of Macbooks [...]

I’ve decided to dual boot Windows and Ubuntu. This was a tortured decision for me to make, but the right one nonetheless.
While I’ve been able to do 99% of all my work and tasks in Ubuntu, it’s not always easy to do what I want to do. I have found that ease is [...]

I got two iPods actually. A 160GB Classic and an 8GB Nano.
Whoa, let’s back up first. Why is this such a big deal to me? How is this me “breaking down”?
Well, for many years (as far back as I can remember), I’ve pretty much hated Apple. Why? I don’t like their business practices. People complain [...]

First off, if you haven’t been playing Guitar Hero II, start now. Second of all, if you plan on playing on your XBox 360, don’t expect to find a wireless controller. Why? Because Micro$oft won’t share their wireless secrets.
Screw you Micro$soft!

I can’t believe you have to buy the god damn XBox 360 Elite to get HDMI. That’s so lame. They should have offered it as a connector to those with “legacy” XBox 360s, also.
Hey, I hope you miss my OS business. And my Office business. In fact, I don’t need anything from you anymore.
