Even though M$ wants to tout how many copies of Vista they have sold, it has been on the backs of the PC makers, not the actual consumer. As everyone knows XP has been selling almost as well in the retail market which should tell you that Vista ain’t working for a lot of people. [...]

How Sony Won
I haven’t really talked about the High Def DVD war very much…now that it is over. I think as time goes on and we learn about all the back room dealings in getting the movie companies to go one way or the other, we will learn that no one really considered which technology was [...]

A Non Apple Computer Post!!!
I’ve been looking at ways to create a home server that will create a central share for my data, and a potential backup solution.

Data Corruption Continues On Windows Home Server

New firmware for iPhone and Touch

It’s still too early to determine what this new version does…Apple has only released “bug fixes” as the release notes. Bug fixes are always good, but I hear a big [...]

New Apple Products Released
What has become as frequent as M$ security updates, Apple has released updated versions of their MacBook Pros and MacBooks. Apple has released an updated or new product every Tuesday since the year has began, and though the updates to the Pros were expected, the MacBook updates were a surprise. All around processor updates, larger [...]

Verizon’s Any Device Update
I am skeptical of Verizon’s new willingness to open their network to any device that passes their muster, but the news is that they will be releasing their specs soon. I am waiting for “the catch”, but I am trying to keep an open mind. The expectations that these new devices will be coming by [...]
