A little news blip on this otherwise mundane day, the 5th of April in the fantastic year of 2006, may prove to be one of the most significant developments in computer history. Today Apple has officially introduced the ability to run Microsoft Windows on Apple Macintosh computers. Read the news here. Check out Boot Camp [...]
I’ve been a long-time supporter of iSkin, my favorite iPod case company. I thought I was pretty cool with my black eVo3. Turns out I was more functional than cool. If you want to be the coolest iPod geek on the block, you need one of these.
TiVo drives me nuts. On the one hand, I respect them so much for creating such a great brand in a few short years with and a very useful technology. On the other hand, why do they take so long to evolve their products? With the impending prominance of downloadable video content (i.e. the iTunes [...]
Sharp has given me a head-scratcher with a new technology they showed off at CES this year called the dual-view display. Basically, it’s a flat-panel display that shows two different images depending on your viewpoint. It works similarly to those little plastic cartoon "action" cards you used to find in boxes of Cracker Jacks. While [...]
The Sony Reader is a product that I have been awaiting for years. Similar units have been available for a while in Japan. The Reader is about the size and weight of a medium-sized paperback book. It unit can hold approximately 80 "novel-sized" eBooks as well as Adobe PDF documents an even JPEG images and [...]
The Consumer Electronics Show has been over for more than a week now, but it’s taken me a long time to pour over the thousands of blog posts and news articles documenting the hundreds upon hundreds of new products on display this year. Rather than inundate everyone with a laundry list of items that you [...]
This is my first blogpost using a Macintosh computer. I must say, the main reason I haven’t posted in the past several days is because I’ve been having so much fun getting to know this beautiful machine. Unfortunately, it’s not mine. It’s my mom’s new computer. I am house-sitting for her for a week and [...]
I got a chuckle going back in time and skimming over this message board on Macrumors.com from over 4 years ago after the announcement of the original iPod. Quite a few people thought it was too expensive and that it wouldn’t sell, but a few bright people realized even then that it was a totally [...]
You may not want to run out and buy an iPod nano very quickly after all. I have been raving about the thing, but apparently there have been a lot of complaints that the screen scratches entirely too easily for a device that is intended to spend a lot of time in shirt and pant [...]
I’m in a state of nanoShock…
Last night, after work, I went to Best Buy and checked out the iPod nano. I couldn’t wait any longer to see one. It’s kind of difficult to describe just how small the thing is. It’s so small and light that it doesn’t seem real. It looks like something you’d [...]
