Office 2008 for Mac. He...

I read a couple of news stories the other day describing the release date and pricing of the delayed product Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac. As I read the information, I was both surprised and not surprised at the same time. I didn’t even realize that was possible. Rather than just...

An Apple Price-Cut Laws...

I read an article (linked below) about a woman who is filing a lawsuit because the price of the iPhone was dropped by so much so shortly after launch. Frankly, I was annoyed. If you read this blog you would have read my post about my own disappointment in the huge price drop, but then...

iPhone v1.1.1...

Today I installed the 1.1.1 update of iPhone after reading many articles and blog posts about how it makes an iPhone a “brick” if you’ve hacked it to install or change things. Lots of people look at the iPhone as a great device that can be hacked to do much more than it...

Maximillion...

When is it (if ever) the right time to put a dog to sleep? Max has been with me since 1997. I adopted him when he was 4 years old. Someone had abandoned him – left him tied to a doorknob of a vet hospital. As with many pets, Max has brought me more joy, laughs, and companionship...

Internet Explorer'...

I saw this on digg.com today and I have to admit that I am one of the (apparently THOUSANDS) of people who are tired of having to tweak their standards-based code just so that IE 6 and 7 (MIcrosoft’s browsers which do NOT adhere to web standards) can display their web pages the way...

I'm a Bit Disappoi...

Today Steve Jobs announced that the price of the 8GB iPhone was going from $599 to $399. I love the device. I bought one opening day. Didn’t even have to wait in any lines or anything. And in my opinion, it’s the best cell phone ever, period. I’m glad I own one, and it...
