Oh, oh...

A Apple se le han adelantado!!


Los fans de Apple llevan mucho tiempo pidiendo un Mac Touch, pero Steve se ha negado y no los ha complacido...

HP ha dado un golpe bajo! Si hasta a mí, que estoy ciegamente enamorado de Apple, me ha gustado... A ver si esto anima un poco a los de la manzaniita!!^^

마리코

나의 가까운 벗인 마리코. 마리코는 사정에 의하여 일본에 잠시 머물게 되었다. 아마 몇년간은 마리코를 보지 못할 수도 있을 것 같다. 오늘 마리코가 보낸 소포를 열어 보았다.

마음이 따뜻하고 세심한 그녀는 여러 벗들에게 보내는 조그만 선물들을 카드와 함께 포장하였다. 내가 좋아하는 일본 고구마 과자를 보내었다. 다른 벗에게는 사탕을 선물하고. 얼마나 이쁜 마음인지...

마리코는 내게 보낸 카드에 이렇게 적었다.

<i>Fanboy</i> isn't just a generic insult. It means something.

Warning, for those who know me in person: This is an extremely geeky post. Proceed with caution.

Just as forum users will sometimes fling the label troll against anyone who argues with them, many forum users (particularly in computer-related discussions) will throw around the term fanboy without making the term meaningful. Most of the time, when I see the term fanboy used, it's basically used as a way to avoid having meaningful or logical discussion and to shut the other person up, even if she has valid points. It's basically a way of saying, "Since you clearly are a fan of this operating system, nothing you say has meaning."

The doctor makes house calls

Not just any doctor, but the iPod doctor.

Unfortunately, he is only in the New York area, but if he can do it so can one of you in your area.

Short story, he makes repairs to iPods that are no longer under the Apple warranty. Smashed screens - no problem. Replacing a dead harddrive - piece of cake. Fell in the water - hmmm, maybe, he wants to know more.

An interesting story for those of you who pick up any old electronic gadget and fixes it.

"Microsoft struck me as completely odd" oder: Das macht mich irre

Bill Gates in einer internen E-Mail über seinen Versuch, Moviemaker auf der hauseigenen Website runterzuladen.

Benutzerkonsistenz ist eben keine Stärke der Redmonter Borg ;-)

"I tried scoping to Media stuff. Still no moviemaker. I typed in movie. Nothing. I typed in movie maker. Nothing.

So I gave up and sent mail to Amir saying - where is this Moviemaker download? Does it exist?

So they told me that using the download page to download something was not something they anticipated.

They told me to go to the main page search button and type movie maker (not moviemaker!).

I tried that. The site was pathetically slow but after 6 seconds of waiting up it came.

I thought for sure now I would see a button to just go do the download.

silly apple guy.

at the beginning of june my ibook bit the dust. so i got a macbook and at the time when i bought my new macbook they had a promotion going on where if you are a student and you buy a macbook you get a free ipod (via rebate). so kimb and i got a 160gb ipod classic. when we went to do the rebate it said that we were not eligible for the rebate. so i talked with the apple rebate people and they proceeded to tell me that the ipod classic was not included with the promo.

so i went back to the apple store, returned our 160gb ipod classic and got this instead...

Has The Post PC Era already begun?

Broken PC

When Steve Jobs met Bill Gates at a TV show, Gates swarmed about the next generation PC with even more functionality, while Jobs talked about the post-PC-era. Jobs spoke about simple devices - gadgets - which are specialized on some things, which are instantly switched on and do not require a manual. Gadgets like - of course - the iPod or the newly iPhone.

But are we already there? Will we ever get there?

iPhone 3G : O que há de novo?

Sim, eu sei que ele foi lançado no dia 09/06, mas só agora eu abri o blog... Tá, sem muita enrolação, vamos direto ao assunto: "O que há de novo no iPhone 3G" ?

Uma coisa óbvia é que agora ele tem 3G, que é bem mais rápido que o EDGE (2.5G), a antiga tecnologia que o iPhone usava. Só acho estranho que ele não tenha camera frontal para video conferências (Ainda não foi confirmado). Temos a "App Store", isso é, poderemos comprar aplicativos para o iPhone e o ele ganhou GPS, que é integrado ao "Maps".

Na parte de desing temos a parte traseira modificada. Ela foi substituida por um plastico, que por padrão é preto e tem como opção uma cor branca também.

I Gots Some Things To Talk About

Yesterday was a bad day at work. First of all, it never helps when a co-worker calls you out on something, then does the thing he calls you out on. I was talking with a co-worker waiting for a customer that I was helping to get off the phone. Well, she gets off the phone and my easypay doesn't work, what a suprise. I grab someone elses and the coworker says to me, "Did your easypay stop working when you started talking?" I kid you not, my blood boiled and I wanted to hit him. I swear to God i would have hit him. Maybe it was the fact that I didn't eat all day. When I don't eat, I get pissed off easy. The littlest things set me off when I am hungry. Thats another reason they called me Angry Santa in VTV.

Put on your Sunday Clothes: T-minus 2 days until launch

It's Wednesday of premiere week and still no A.O. Scott or Stephanie Zacharek filling the WALL•E profile on Rotten Tomatoes.  The only thing posted as a top critic is Richard Roeper's review and when you click the link to read more, the review does not exist!  An attempt to creating a compilation post of various reviews has proven unfruitful as the overall silence amongst the critic heavyweights is deafening.
