I was recently reading some commentary about the new iPhone. Some users (or perspective buyers) were commenting that they were really bummed about the new iPhone. Now granted, this is probably a figure of speech and it doesn’t really reflect their mental state, but when I read things like these I have to take a step back.There are people out there that are genuinely bummed about ford not having

While coming back from work a few days ago my iPod froze. It just stopped playing music! It was also quite an inopportune moment because my train had just come and I was trying to squeeze in. I reset the unit, and I got the folder icon. Darn! I reset the unit again! Got the folder icon again. Darn! I reset it a third time and I got it working! Yay! I started listening merrily to my songs again. Three

Back (in 2004/2005) when I was rediscovering the joy of gaming on the Mac, one of the of the games that I bought at my local Apple Store was Spyhunter. This game is a reworking of the original top-down arcade game to bring it up to date with modern 3D graphics, sounds, animation and overall excitement. I don’t remember how much I paid for the game, but I remember not feeling extremely entertained.Don’t

Recently I started listening to Retrocity, a retro gaming podcast, and Sega and the game gear were mentioned. Back when the Game Gear was released, I already owned a Gameboy (which I had bought with my own money), and I was vacationing with my dad. My ‘goal’ was to own an Atari Lynx, a Gameboy and a Game Gear. In order to get a day closer to the goal I asked my dad to buy me a Game Gear

I upgraded my Nokia N800 to the newest firmware a while back, and I have to say that I am pretty pleased! Initially I was not going to upgrade because I was really not looking forward to reinstalling my applications. Thankfully, the backup that I did also captured most of my config files so I did not have to configure more of my upgraded apps.My overall impression of Diablo is favorable. I am really

I am a big Terminator fan, that is why I am happy this series is coming back for another season! I initially approached this series with skepticism, but it ended up being quite good! My reasons for being a skeptic were that I really could not see anyone other than Linda Hamilton taking over the role of Sarah Connor, and the idea of a high-school-aged terminator T800 was laughable (at the time).Well

I’ve been using Firefox 3.0 for a couple of weeks now on my Vista machine at work, and I can say that I really like this version, much better than the 2.x that I used to use up to now. I am not really into micro-analyzing what renders on my screen. All I know, from an end user perspective, is that the application is snappy, and what is displayed on the screen looks normal.I think I need to spend

Many of my friends know I am a technology geek, and of course their first question to me, after Jobs’ announcement of the iPhone 3G is to ask me whether or not I am getting a 3G iPhone. The answer at this point is ‘no’ and this perplexes very many people who consider me an Apple fanboy. There is quite a logical reason to my denial of the “jesusphone 2.0” and it has (almost)

Back in the days of the original gameboy (bought mine in 1990), I did not have that many games. I had Tetris and Super Mario Land. My first expansion was when I was visiting my relatives and I spent a lot of time at Toys R Us stores where relatives bought me games ;-)One of these games was Megaman II. I had never played Megaman before, but my 11-year-old mind thought that “2” must be better

I’ve been using Expose since Tiger came out, it is a nifty function of the MacOS. When Leopard came out I did not use Expose at all because I did not have to experiment with the functionality, and quite honestly I couldn’t be bothered. I had gotten my workflow to a point where I was happy, and I did not want to change. That all changed this week!I started experimenting with Expose on my
