I know, you’re probably thinking “they still make ZIP drives?”, right? Well I checked and they do.
Anyhow, I’m selling one on eBay right now and someone actually bid on it ($0.99 + $9.99 s&h). Weird. It’s the 100MB model from 2000, still shrink wrapped in all its glory. How is that possible you ask? Umm, [...]

This is all pure speculation/wishful thinking on my part, so please don’t take it too seriously.
I personally love the way Installer.app works, I can install/uninstall applications where ever I go, that being said I’m not looking forward to installing apps via iTunes.
So my question is this, will Apple be able to offer the same on-the-go [...]

I’m at the South Mill and the internet here has been down since yesterday. Basically, I figured out they lost their PPPoE Username and Password for their DSL modem, not a big deal, right? Just call tech support… or not.¬† Apparently they went with a local company called Binary.net, which only offers tech support during [...]

If you haven’t heard of Hulu, chances are you are either on a dial-up connection or living under a rock, in which case, kudos for reading this blog under your rock.

Hardware capabilities, let’s take a look at the system [...]

I’m sure by now you’ve heard the wonderful news, 10.5.2 is finally out. Yay! I’ll spare you the boring technical details, but holy crap did 10.5.2 jack my boot time. When I first installed Leopard my boot time went from 33 seconds to 54 seconds, ridiculous! Anyhow, after the 10.5.2 update it was taken my [...]

In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.

I just purchased an Eee PC from Newegg.com and I’m pretty excited to see what a budget Linux laptop is capable of. I’d also really like to replace the screen with a touch screen, but since the computer is meant for my girlfriend I’m not sure she’ll exactly support that idea. Oh well.
