Having an IM conversation with someone in Iran, turns out they "hate" Bush...so random. But I had to reply, "that's why I voted for Obama" 7 hrs ago
3 gigs of ram in each of my laptops makes a complete difference when running parallels consistently like I have to. #
I’m in need of a laptop for with small form factor, 2 gigs of ram and can run fedora without any hassles. I’ve looked at Lenovo, Sony, R3 and Jared recommends this one but I just can’t find anything better then a black macbook. fedora supports the new intel macs and I’ve yet to find any compatibility issues. The form factor and design is the sealer for me, although I’d prefer the thinkpad design. And with the price being a few hundred less at…
For the past couple months I’ve been having some real problems with my Macbook Pro just shutting down when it goes to reserve power rather then gracefully shutting down and going into an automatic suspend where it restarts loading the cached memory like it never shut down at all. A huge feature I’ve been missing and had been too lazy to figure out. Then in the last few weeks it’s been just shutting down anywhere from 45 minutes to a…
I missed my blogoversary on Sunday, thanks to my live archives for reminding me. 3 years earlier on that day I posted about “Best Buy not a Best Bet” with iBlog on Sara’s old mac laptop. It’s not a great post but it’s fun to look back and remember how that page looked so long ago in relation to this site. Best yet, it’s serves as an awesome reminder of Tim for me; telling me I needed a comment system on that old…
TechCrunch has a good review on OpenDNS which led me to try it out, even though the article weighs more on not using the service. I’ve just configured my laptop to use it via it’s wireless connection, I plan to test it out and decide later if I should change our router.
The company has two primary selling points. The first is its phishing filter, a list of malicious sites aggregated by a number of different sources that are blocked when access is…
The current Macbook line is just too expensive, $1099+ for the lowest model, which is still a great price considering the specs. I’m thinking Apple will just come out with a ‘lite’ version of the Macbook but according to this picture the “family” is complete. Which makes me wonder. I still think apple’s goal is to get everyone and not just the zealot and JasonB thinks that the lineup will just see a decrease in price since with the current chips…
Back from SD (as you can tell by my flickr photos) it was my first day at GL and boy what a day it was. Like all first days of school work it went by fast, like a blur the paperwork-morning went fast, almost as fast as the walk-through tour in the afternoon. I had worried wondered for weeks what system I would be using and it turns out that my hopes came true; I’m using a Macbook Pro. Having a…

Think Secret - EXCLUSIVE: Apple Planning Intel-Ready iBook Debut for January
Apple is planning to release its first entry-level iBook laptops with Intel processors next January at Macworld Expo in San Francisco, highly reliable sources have confirmed to Think Secret.
Old news but I just read it. They are saying that the new machines will be $200-$300 cheaper in a move to get more windows converts. I really don’t think that $200-$300 is enough to make a large enough impression because it…
I wanted to take this conversation into comparing Apple laptops and PC laptops. And the reason why not to buy a PC laptop.
Jared asks this question:
So you don’t have anything against Dells specifically, just all non-Apple laptops?
To be honest, yes, most PC laptops I’ve seen are not designed well. Their too big, bulky, and lack default hardware features that can only be upgraded later for an additional charge; screens and Bluetooth to name a couple. Yes, dell and other manufacturers have…
