I didn't know ripping Wall-E would be so hard. http://bit.ly/18hgV 5 hrs ago
Sara, Avery and I will be heading up to Hume lake tomorrow for the next 5 days. I’m hoping it will be a fun trip and I’m looking forward to the disconnect from work and this virtual world. I will be taking my computer for the off chance the forest will be transmitting free WiFi and I’ll have my iPhone for the rare occasion I must “clean” out my inbox. When I get back I’ll tackle my growing tada list of…
I woke up late last night remembering I had jury duty this week so I rushed to the computer to find that I didn’t need to get up, my number wasn’t called again. Good thing I was a high number and it was only a 4 day week. [Link] (0)
We’ve had the Tivo HD for a few weeks now and this post has waited just as long. I initially wanted to post about the unpacking, setup and all it’s features; like a real review. Instead I’m going to make this short since the Tivo HD has been exhaustively reviewed around the web already.
Setup:
In order to get HD you’ll either need an OTA HD tuner or HD cable cards from your cable provider. I called our cable provider shortly after the…
This has got to be the best review/article on the age old debate of Linux vs. Mac. The article is extensive but the conclusions on the topic mimic my sentiments exactly.
In the following pages, they lead a guided tour of the two OSes, paying particular attention to eight important areas: Installation & Migration; Hardware Support & Power Management; Networking, Web & Wireless; Productivity; Entertainment; Security; Working With Windows (because we couldn’t completely ignore Microsoft); and Stability, Backup & Disaster Recovery.
Which is the…
Once again I’m fixing someone’s computer because they’re too incompetent to realize that they’re destroying their computer with the software they choose to install and the disabling of anti-virus and spyware software I installed months prior. And I absolutly can’t believe there are programs that are allowed to be installed on windows that completely trash the underlying system. In this case (I’ve seen this at least 4x before) no browser will pull up a site but pinging domains work in…
No wonder the RIAA/MPAA hates us so much:
“I don’t know if you will know the answer to this, but I was wondering if the ___ dvd is reproducible like the cd is?”
After this comment it seems to me that the common person thinks it’s ok to reproduce copyrighted CDs because their computer allows it. I don’t get people sometimes.
[Thinking] Why do I care? I just download everything. I guess I’m annoyed by people that don’t know how to “steal” the…
Well the wait is over for me. I talked myself into buying an iPod last night after toying around with it for just a few minutes and my experience with it for 20 minutes today at the mall solidified my decision.
 Yes, the iPhone does do what many other phones do already. That’s clear but it’s the how that counts. The simplicity may be a drawback for some (or at least one I know) but like the BlackBerry OS it’s almost…
I’ve used a couple managed voicemail providers in the last few months. My first provider was callwave which sent me my voicemails as MP3 through email and just like any voicemail added the ability to call in and hear the voicemail from your phone in a queue. A month or two ago I started using Spinvox after a hearing it briefly on a forgotten tech podcast. It provides voicemail like any other service with a call in queue but where callwave sends…
No wonder I use a Mac, everytime I’m asked to fix a computer it’s because of windows. This time a blue screen of death on startup. grr #
OpenDNS added shortcuts today. I’ve been an OpenDNS user for sometime and it’s an excellent service. I haven’t noticed any speed advantages from their caching but I’m glad that we’re safer with it blocking phishing sites, it also helps with some quick URI typos.
Setting up the shortcuts feature took 2 minutes. I just needed to setup an account and add my IP (which was already populated for me) then add a few shortcuts. Now instead of http://www.google.com/reader/view/ I can type gr or…
