Microsoft is just NOT a consumer company. It’s Oracle, it’s Cisco, it’s Caterpillar Construction … all fine and perhaps even great companies but NOT consumer companies. It’s company culture and the people that they hire. It’s a company built on hounding you until you sign the maintenance contract. The difference in an enterprise or government [...]

The Costco Kirkland Lasagna is a good solid lasagna … it’s not amazing but a pretty good deal considering most restaurants probably serve you the same thing but charge you $11 a slice … However – clearly, mostly morons buy it … That’s right, on the back of the packaging sheet are instructions on how [...]

Comes with $$$$ & THE BIG ONE keys … among many others … Work with Mac, Windows and Linux – any dumb blonde penguins out there? Includes sound cues … Buy it HERE.

The APP STORE will let you know if there’s an update to one of the apps you bought/loaded with a numeric note – nice. (In this case, it’s EVERNOTE – not shown on page 1) And when you press UPDATE, you even get a nice ‘uploading’ bar – very thoughtful. I even did it over [...]

While there might’ve been some problems for people on Thursday trying to buy, activate, load software AND sync everything – it all went pretty smoothly for me – 24 hours later on Friday. First, make sure you are running 10.4.11 for Tiger users (PPC or Intel chip) and the latest Leopard 10.5.4 (I always prefer [...]

It would be hilarious if it weren’t so sad. NPD’s report that Apple Mac’s market share of $1,000+ personal computer is 66% is not really subject to interpretation – except apparently for the last dying gasp of PC fans. Here’s how this works. Of the people who had and were willing to spend $1,000 on [...]

Appropriately, a web site called Fudzilla is reporting that Microsoft is going to open retail stores. It’s time for shareholders to weep a little more. Everytime, Microsoft has a brainstormin’ meeting, it’s more money down the drain: Let’s buy Yahoo! ($45 BILLION) Let’s launch a DAP/MP3 Player! (3% marketshare) ($1 BILLION) XBox – The Xbox [...]

The Neuros OSD is a deceptively simple looking device. It is a recorder that will record ANYTHING as a QUICKTIME Mp4 video file … That’s right, ANYTHING that has RCA outputs and or S-Video, the Neuros OSD can record. Cable TV Satellite TV DVD VCR TiVo DVR Video Game Screens Anything … and unlike some [...]

Quick, name the perfect product for everyone? Air, the other one? The thing we breathe? Yea, how is that air in Houston in August or in Beijing? Um, not so perfect. Water? Who here only drinks tap? Don’t we like it flavored, carbonated, with taurine, mint or almost anyone other than tap? So, not water [...]

Not actually blogging from here since we’re only #72,000 on Technorati … there are only about 15 seats … maybe next year. Other than the keynote, there’s not much to see that’s new – I don’t think Adobe is even here. The nicest booth by far is Belkin’s … If this were in Venice, it’d [...]
