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" 8 hrs ago
The Apple TV was the first out of the gate at today’s Macworld and it’s by far the most thing I’m excited about. The device is a media streaming device as well as a media player that syncs your library from another machine on it’s own hard drive, very similar to how an iPod syncs.
I’m interested in a few things: How well it will stream content on a G network since I rather get out the network cable again then…
Looks like the Pearl is coming to Cingular soon. I can’t wait and I’ve posted about it before but it’s going to solve so many lingering issues with my current blackberry. Number one on the list is a camera, number two media playback. I can’t say the size is a big factor but it is pretty small. It’s also going to work out well since Sara’s phone can be upgraded and eBay love’s my used stuff.
I can’t believe this. Media Temple has really let me down in their performance and customer service. I had to call them in order for them to put my ticket in some kind of priority to be fixed, unless it was just a coincidence that 5 minutes after I called we’re back up.
They’re complaining/responding that it’s a wp issue,
It looks like the problem was your object cache.

You had over 40 php scripts on each node of the cluster running and…
I just can’t figure out what to do. Either return the 360 and get the Wii (if I can) or just keep the 360. I just made a spreadsheet for cost comparison, I guess I need to do a matrix for pros and cons now.
My hope is the Wii will make us want to play games again, I’d think Sara would love it. There’s a web browser so we could watch youtube on TV and it’s a little cheaper then…
Techcrunch has a great article about “Media Temple launch[ing] a major new hosting service this morning called Grid Server“.
I’ve been on the grid for a while and I’m very surprised they launched it today, I had thought it was at least a few weeks off. There’s just a few little things that really bug me about the service. Before I rant about them I’m going to wade it out and see what happens with my requests and see if I get…
To follow up with my previous post, I’m surprised at how close I was.
They announced iTunes 7 with movies
They announced the new Nano’s with new casing and sizes
They announced new iPods with a new size increase
They did release an update to Quicktime but nothing substantial like I mentioned
And what I wanted to see was a Media Extender and they pre-announced it. The thing looks awesome and I would consider it if it did xvid and divx streaming, which I doubt.…
I should have posted earlier on this but here are my predictions:
iTunes 7
10.4.8 with a new H.264 playback performance
Movie Downloads. Disney, Pixar and MGM at first.
Airport Express with video support. It wont be HD but s-video would be nice.
New iPods. I’d love a 16×9 but they could just be size upgrades and new casings. I wouldn’t expect any touchscreen functionality. Either way if the new iPod comes out I’m going to get it with an uncomfortable return to Costco :).
What…
# The Zune brand is intended to be an entirely vertically integrated end-to-end solution, not unlike the iPod / iTunes / iTunes Music Store triumvirate.
# The service and device will not be PlaysForSure compliant, meaning you will not be able to use your Zune player with Napster or Vongo, for example. This will be an entirely new system. Microsoft will continue to support and develop for their PlaysForSure initiative, but all things PlaysForSure are handled by two entirely separate division…
Here’s
the “accidental� (nudge nudge) recording of President Bush speaking to Prime Minister Blair at the G8 luncheon. Apparently there was also a camera accidentally (wink wink) trained on them.And I like it even more now that I know it left Juan Cole shaken and trembling.
Another copy and past from Jason’s original post on scary stats.
I agree that BOOKS are regarded too high, almost as if they are the great tool of knowledge. In the past, books were the mainstay for increasing knowledge, fair perceptions of life and the world. Now it’s different and with many new media streams people can be very knowledgeable, still increase imagination and find avenues of philosophy without even touching a paper book.
Similar to what Nathan said, smart people have convinced…
