Oh EU, DOJ, turn your Mordor like gaze to Mr. Jobs.
In: Technology
28 Jan 2010I only hope it happens soon. I think I will actually take the day off of work, plop my feet up on the ottoman, eat Popcorn and watch Steve Jobs give his dry jabs and pokes at a panel. My only question is will he have the balls to show up to a senate [...]

Wow, not loving the iPad makes me Anti-Apple apparently
In: Technology
27 Jan 2010First let me clarify a few things. I intend to buy a 32GB Wi-Fi+3G iPad. I am an undying gadget freak and it’s cool enough to warrant some plastic-rash. Let me also add that in the last decade I have owned:
12” Powerbook
15” Powerbook
G4 PowerMac
Dual G5 PowerMac
15” Macbook Pro
24” iMac [...]

Apple Automator For the Win!
In: Technology
13 Dec 2009One drawback of not getting an HP Home Server is that it doesn’t do Apple Time Machine compatible backups, so my Macs don’t automatically back up. Most of what I do on my Mac is web based or using applications that are working with files already stored on my network.
The big exception to that is [...]

I am sorry Apple, it’s true, you are a monopoly
In: Technology
11 Aug 2009 What’s that you say? It can’t be possible! 9% market share in PCs! Symbian has them crushed in market share in the smart phone market. There’s no monopoly here! I am afraid so…
In economics, a monopoly exists when a specified individual or an enterprise has sufficient control over a particular product or service to [...]

Just when I think record labels don’t get it, they go and prove that they REALLY don’t get it
In: Music
10 Aug 2009It’s called CMX. It’s not by itself either. CMX is a knee-jerk reaction to a project Apple us supposedly calling “Cocktail.” The premise is to package additional content into what would represent a digital album. You would of course get the music, but also liner notes, photos, videos, lyrics and the like. The goal [...]

A look at stupid statistics – NPDs flawed view that 91 percent of over $1000 computers are Apples means success
In: Technology
23 Jul 2009I won’t make this long, just provide some realistic statistics. NPD says that 91% of all computers over $1,000 are Apples. First off, the thing they obscure a bit is that is 91% of all computers sold AT RETAIL. That means all desktop computers and laptop computers for businesses across the country aren’t counted, [...]

The Apple fanboy frame of mind
In: Technology
6 Jul 2009I had to laugh at a recent development on a thread I have been following. For the most part the conversation has been lively, relevant and fun with a little good natured MS and Apple ribbing here and there, but one comment posted tonight kind of quantified the type of “Stockholm Syndrome” that many [...]

The Truth About Geniuses, Viruses and Good Marketing
In: Technology
13 May 2009If you have seen Apple’s recent crop of ads to counter Microsoft’s Laptop Hunter Ads, you will find two themes: Apple Genius’ are amazing at technical support, and Windows computers just don’t operate without crashing and constantly catch viruses. Of course these are just marketing gimmicks, just like the Laptop Hunter ads were also, but [...]
10 Free OS X Apps I Can’t Live Without
In: Technology
26 Apr 2009Smashing magazine inspired this post. They listed 13 applications to make your life easier, but I really didn’t think any of them were that useful. Here is my list to help you trick out your new Mac.
QuickSilver: I love this application. It’s a launcher on steroids and is probably the application I miss [...]

Oh Cult of Mac: Puh-lease!!!
In: Technology
26 Apr 2009Read this article before you read mine, the spin cycle is out of control! Leigh McMullen has hit the fanboy All-Star team. My points of contention? I will never understand why the Mac die hards continue to fight against the notion that Macs are more expensive, they are. It’s just a fact. You can’t argue [...]

Breaking Down the Mac/PC Price Debate
In: Technology
28 Mar 2009If you read the likes of Gizmodo, EnGadget, MacRumors, etc., the new Microsoft commercial is leaving a serious wake. People on both sides are in a tizzy and it’s pretty entertaining.

I thought I would put out the flames for a minute and look at this in a [...]
Ok Cult of Mac, I get you love Apple, but get real…
In: Technology
25 Mar 2009 The following article is directly reprinted from Cult of Mac and I have to say…wow. (Commentary included)
After a decade of being the clear leader driving market trends in computing, Apple’s influence could wane in the post-Steve Jobs era, according to a thoughtful piece posted Tuesday at TG Daily.
Industry analyst Rob Enderle describes Apple’s amazingly [...]

What Could Apple Learn from Toyota?

19 Mar 2009Are you tired of Psystar? Pearc? All of these fly by night rigs trying to steal your software. Are you frustrated with your lack of market share? Lucky for you I have the answer. I’ll give it to you for a million dollars, or I’ll just blog about it and you can steal it, whatever [...]

17 Mar 2009So what I take from this is that: 8 hours of getting your computer back to working is a walk in the park and should be not only accepted but embraced as part of the Apple experience. … Even though the bug was caused by another program and later recognized by Apple as a bug that affected thousands of users, I should give up all of my computers because not being able to overcome the bug on install day is obviously a leading indicator of my knowledge with computers. … Since I am betting that he did not subscribe to my feed (who wants to hear what such an idiot has to say) I will email him a link to this post and maybe he’ll come back to attack me again.
