Thank Goodness That’s Over

February 21st, 2010 · No Comments · Adobe, Apple Event, Apple Tablet, Browsers, CES, Gadgetry, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Operating Systems, Tiger Woods, Windows 7

Tiger Woods apologized.
If he’s as good at rehab as he is at golf, he’s going to be fine.
The great thing he said was that he used to think the normal rules didn’t apply to him. He thought he was entitled because he had worked so hard all his life.
Yeah. Me too.
The rules are the same. [...]

Let’s see.
1. Pick a hot button. (Done.)
2. Make up a logic thread that offends every motto, credo, and stated philosopy of the site. (Yup.)
3. Push the button. (Got it.)
4. Stand on the button. (Yup.)
5. Stomp on the button. (Uh huh.)
6. Jump up and down on the *&^%$#@ button. (Check.)
Lo, and behold, more than a single [...]

Not much in the way of news…

February 6th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Apple Tablet, Gadgetry, General Detritus, Leopard, Licensing OS X, Master Jobst Fimil, Microsoft, Netbooks, Punditbots and Fundtards, Tablet, iPhone

Really. It’s pretty grim out there if you’re a tech punditbot or fundtard. Apple went ahead and announced the iPad.
It doesn’t have Flash. That’s the big frigging news. The imbeciles can’t even bitch about cut and paste on this one. Most of them have gone back to posing as 14-year old girls in IRC chat [...]

On Wednesday, the big event will finally be here.
By this time on Wednesday – the tabletgasm behind us – we will all have had a chance to mop up the spillage, smoke a cigarette, and maybe snuggle for a few minutes.
The tech press is going to need some .01% hydrocortisone on the tender parts so [...]

Weird thoughts

The drummer from my old band (Blue Flax, ca 1974) found me on facebook. Since the band broke up he’s been married to the same woman for 3o years.
Wow.
I also noticed that Steve Ballmer opened CES with a quick demo of the HP tablet thingy that’s supposed to compete with unicorns, fairies, gnomes, and leprechauns [...]

The iPhone is For Sale in China

November 1st, 2009 · 5 Comments · Microsoft, Windows 7, iPhone, iPhone killer

The iPhone has hit the store shelves of China. Apparently the Chinese version does not have WiFi capability.
That’s going to suck.
Without WiFi in it Apple will probably only be able to sell a few hundred million units.
Dammit.

The Windows 7 ad campaign is beyond lame. Apparently real people saying, “I’m a PC, and Windows 7 was [...]
