Time flies when you're not having fun. Anyway, found a great deal on 4-port USB 2.0 hubs with a power supply at Walmart. Red tagged at US$15 5 2009/07/12

I'm holding on as well as I can, which isn't very well. This economy is eating my family alive, but them's are the breaks. 5 2009/06/25

The game is on, kind readers. Palm has finally released their hotly anticipated Pre with the slick new webOS.

I’m poking around the web, as I’m wont to do, and I came across this review of RC1 of Internet Explorer 8. It was the title in this Ziff-Davis newsletter which caught my eye “Can IE8 Top Firefox?”. You know, it looks like a decent browser. The major advances the reviewer claims in his article are [...]

Why Apple Is Done With MacWorld

I think, after much reflection and ruminating, that I have a clear idea of what the problem is for Apple and why Steve Jobs is no longer needing Apple to be as prolific as it has been in the marketplace. Apple announced last month (Dec. 2008) that they would no longer be attending MacWorld shows. I don’t think this is the right choice or the logical choice based on the issues Apple will be facing in the next decade of the Cupertino giant, but I do think Steve Jobs was right to change the way Apple operates.

Apple has reached a point where they are now the defacto name of cool in the technical space. Apple has a cachet which Microsoft never had and it looks like Apple is now trying to capitalize on that. The simple truth is that cool doesn’t carry, and Apple will have to fundamentally modify its strategy to continue to grow.

Review: Kensington ShareCentral 5

If there is one central truth about my office its that this is cluttered and unruly, mostly with the enormous mass of cables which I have. Most people strive to control their space by only selecting those things which they need to do what they want. People at home have printers, keyboards and mice, scanners, cameras, external drives, PDAs, phones, iPods, thumb drives, and various other USB-based devices and peripherals in varying combinations. What, then, do you do when you also have a lappy or a family member has another PC?
