Where are the Editors?

October 19, 2006

Fellow blogger John Allsopp (dog or higher) writes about the future of blog reading, and how we’ll go from reading blogs to reading single posts. In my personal experience, that’s exactly how it goes. Although I subscribe to several blogs, I find myself not checking them very often, instead relying on Google, Digg or Del.icio.us [...]

Hacking at Apple Stores

October 17, 2006

Data security is one of my favorite subjects… and I’m always amazed at how careless some people (and major corporations) are with their digital identities. I recently did a simple, non-scientific study at the local Apple Store. No elite hacking skills are needed (that’s L337 for you H4X0R5). Walk to any computer and pretend to [...]

5 Reasons I Hate iTunes

October 12, 2006

Just bought an 80GB Video iPod! Awesome gadget and a nice way to get into the whole podcast/vidcast mindset. Unfortunately, I have to deal with Apple’s iTunes software to manage it.

So there I was, wide awake in my bed, wondering if the Crestor was keeping me from catching some much needed Zzzzs, when I decided to scramble over to my HP Media Center PC and check what was new on Digg. Over on my number two display, a trusty old 17″ BenQ FP731, my RSS [...]

Solving the MacBook’s lack of a Right-Click Button

September 1, 2006

When will Apple embrace the right-click button? Even though Apple’s operating system supports right-click, their laptops notoriously lack a right-click button. I’m not a Mac developer (don’t even own a Mac yet) but I have an idea that could solve the problem: The Mac’s Touchpad already detects a number of events like scrolling, two-finger scrolling, [...]

Apple Stores should embrace XP

September 1, 2006

It’s a simple idea: every Apple Store should have one computer running Windows XP via Parallels Desktop software. Why? I believe it would help convince wannabe-switchers to take that final step and purchase a Mac. When the first MacIntels came out, I began seriously thinking about switching from my all XP set-up.
