About six months ago, I bought a Dell Mini 9 and installed OSX on it. I really liked it and used it a lot … I even took it to Vegas this summer when I spoke at the HP Software Universe. The only thing I didn’t like was the keyboard because it was a bit [...]

Posted by Brian in technology, web on September 22, 2009
Yahoo! reportedly considers deleting Zimbra – Poor Yahoo. You look at Google and, while it’s hard for Google to succeed in areas outside of search, it’s done well with GMail. Don’t get me wrong … I think Yahoo! Mail is very nice but it’s no GMail. I think Yahoo’s purchase of Zimbra was more about [...]

About a week ago, I was sitting in my basement playing Batman: Arkham Asylum on my XBox 360 while Wendie was at work. It was coming quite the storm outside but I didn’t pay it much attention … until a flash of lightning lit up the room followed by thunder that sounded like a grenade [...]

Posted by Brian in Uncategorized on July 19, 2009
Yesterday, I finally got around to jailbreaking my iPhone.

A couple of articles have recently popped up from some bloggers who are using OS X on their netbooks that are disparaging of the experience. I’ll summarize their complaints so you don’t have to read them. Each writer’s point is in italics. Dave “MacSparky” Sparks’ disdain for the OS X netbook – The keyboard sucks: [...]

Posted by Brian in computers, hackintosh, osx on April 12, 2009
It’s time for me to make an addition to my home computers. Recently, I’ve decided I wanted four things from this new computer: Portability – High-end laptops are usually instantly obsolete so I don’t want a overpowered one. I just want something with a little more kick than my BlackBerry Bold or my iPhone. A [...]

Posted by Brian in Uncategorized on April 7, 2009
Jason Kottke notes how Fox may be penny wise but pound foolish for firing Roger Friedman for downloading, and then reviewing, an illegal workprint of the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I wondered the same thing initially. Shame on Fox for not keeping better tabs on their property. If it’s worth $100 million, guard it like [...]
