I am not a zealot. Really. I recognize there’s such a thing as personal preference. There was even one time when I recommended a Windows PC (over a Mac) to someone. As it happens, that person has regretted taking my advice ever since, but I digress. Trapped in an office filled with Michael Dell’s evil spawn, I kid with my office mates about our choice of computers, but it’s all…
For a writer wanna-be, I’m hopelessly tethered to random infusions of rhyme, alliteration, and odd word pairings. But that’s not really what I wanted to say today; I distracted myself with a bout of whimsy following the title conception phase of this entry.
It was another fit of whimsy which prompted my fingers to grace the keyboard of the TAM this morning (I hear you, enough with the…
MacDailyNews – Verizon says Apple iPhone defections to AT&T have slowed:
“Verizon saw negative so-called porting rates — meaning more Verizon customers were switching to AT&T than vice versa. But as the month progressed, Verizon said it has seen a shift back to what it calls normal switching rates.”
Personally, I never considered switching from Verizon to AT&T…
MacDailyNews – Some AT&T stores refusing to show customers Apple iPhone?:
“Some AT&T stores reportedly have no iPhone displays on the floor, but still claim to stock the iPhone. Other accounts tell of AT&T stores with iPhone displays, but employees who refuse to bring out the iPhones “on Sundays” or “for fear of theft” due to small staff on-hand, or…
There is no question which one I’d choose given the choice… I’ll take a MacBook Pro please. Still, there’s something about my PowerBook. Look no further than the name… now that’s gravitas baby!
I suppose with a name like PowerBook, there was nowhere to go but down.
You know what this was really about? I was just reading about my cousin’s infatuation with…
I just wanted to close out this first evening in the hospital by congratulating a number of you on your exceedingly good taste in computers. The picture of my 20th Anniversary Mac got more views on Flickr in the first week than any of my other pictures.
Given the poorly concealed looks of contempt from our Windows network administrator at work, it’s nice to see some evidence that there are…
You got me, it’s not my birthday. As far as I know, no one I know has a birthday today. All of this begs the question: have I finally found an edge and fallen off?
Sometime between March and May of 1997, Apple Computer started shipping a piece of hardware they called the Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh (TAM for short). By my way of reconning, we’re in still in the 10th anniversary window of…
There’s a phenomenon frequently associated with “Windows PCs” where apiece of hardware spontaneously takes flight. It’s usually a keyboard or mouse, but in a few documented cases it has happened to monitors and CPUs as well.
Recent studies suggest this “phenomenon” is not spontaneous at all; but rather, a pre-meditated attempt by an owner to bleed off a little…
