    If You Want Privacy, You're Obviously Hiding Something

    This is why I'm hoping that Bing, Hakia and Kartoo, among others, succeed and makes Google less important than what it is now. I don't think it's in societies best interest to allow only one company, or group, to control the market the way that Google now dominates, be that company Googe itself...

    Apple Doesn't Tolerate App Store Cheaters (Here's Proof)

    This is not the first time Apple has pulled a lot of apps from its shelves in one go. Earlier this year, one developer had twice that number, over two thousand apps pulled because of shady manipulation on its part, as you can see in the below link...

    Psystar Settles with Apple, Allowed to Sell "Open" Computers

    What I want to know is how in hell two boys, barely in their twenties and living at home with their parents and who claim that they have only have $50,000 in assets between them, can agree to pay Apple some $2.7 million dollars in damages? Apple has said all along, that they believe some...

    Smoking Around Apple Computers May Void Warranty

    Even though, at the time, I used to trash the TRS - 80, looking back at it now, after these many, many years, I have grown to deeply respect this pioneering computer, and I have many found memories of using one. I never owned one myself, but , I had friends who did, and thus I will always have a...

    Cool Case Mode: The OS/Xbox !

    Below is a YouTube video of a cool OS/Xbox - what some people can do with an old Xbox case is pretty cool, as I stated on my own little-bitty blog. http://my2cents4theday.blogspot.com/2009/11/cool-casemods-osxbox.html <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie"...

    Smoking Around Apple Computers May Void Warranty

    Over Reaction! It's an over reaction on Apple's part as far as I'm concerned. Sure, smoking is bad for your health, including the health of your electronic gear, but seriously, this is ridiculous, and if it was my computer I would sue since nothing in the warranty contract lists smoking as a...

    Apple Patents Forced Advertising

    It Sucks, and it sucks big time! Like all other big companies, Apple patents hundreds, if not thousands, of patents on a continual basis, and this is but one more. Like many patents, they may, or may not ever see the llight of day, and especialy this one, because this one particularly sucks and...

    Setting Up Wireless in Ubuntu is Hit or Miss

    Even though my first experience with Linux was withYellowDog, I still consider Ubuntu to be my first Linux, since I could never really quite get YellowDog to run in anything other than verbose mode! And that despite the fact that YellowDog was the only other OS that Apple officially allowed to...

    Dell Releases World's Thinnest Notebook, Adamo XPS

    It's a very nice looking machine, and certainly different than any other out there. I like the look, but some say that even though it's great sitting on a desktop, on your lap it could prove to another thing all together. Like the MacBook Air, the inspiration for the Adamo and others, it's...

    Steve Jobs Named Fortune's CEO of the Decade

    Regarding the Big Steve..... Steve Jobs may be more of a devil than a saint, but when it comes to being a CEO he's arguably one of the best and brightest out there, as I wrote on my blog. One of the things that struck me the most, was Andy Grove's dinner meeting with Steve when he was about 21...

    Taking iPhone for Ransom, Then Asking for $7 for the Fix?

    The moral of the story is.... The moral of the story - DON"T jailbreak your phone! Anyone stupid enough to jailbreak their phone is simply asking for potential security breaches, plain and simple, even though, it's fun and offers users some benefits, but they are hardly worth the risk.

    Ubuntu 9.10 Brings on Some Fresh Changes

    For me, Ubuntu is my Linux of choice. I've tried to like the others, but Ubuntu is the closest yet to the big two OSs for my money (even though it's free!)

    Upgrading to Windows 7? Run the Upgrade Advisor First!

    I'm planning on keeping my XP, but also i'm adding Windows 7, and a fine OS it is too, but even though 16 gigs is small in-comparison to a lot of the drives these days, there is one problem with any OS that takes up a lot of space: the bigger it is - the more likely that you will have bugs...

    Apple's Pricing Premiums Never Cease to Impress

    Hahaha... you can't answer a simple question! HAHAHA ... you cant' give me a straight answer as to why Techgage constantlly belittiles Apple, or why they don't do a hands on review like they do with everybody else's product! And since you can't , you simply ignore the question and give a...

    Apple's Pricing Premiums Never Cease to Impress

    Aggh...... How many times do I have to say the problem isn't whether he's right or wrong about Apple's pricing, but rather the fact that he almost SEEMS to be looking at Apple for the sole purpose of bringing out something that is less then flattering! In other words: he's trolling for...

    Apple's Pricing Premiums Never Cease to Impress

    I never said he was wrong about the pricing of the 21.5 inch iMac, but that he only seems to highlight the negatives in Apple products. How about the fact that the 27 inch iMac has i7's, why didnt' he mention that? Why always the negatives? Regardless of what your saying, Macs are selling in...

    Apple's Pricing Premiums Never Cease to Impress

    Something is missing here... PSI, how you can read my post and miss my point is beyond me! My point is that Techgage SEEMINGLY always criticizes Apple, but never without ever actually bringing in an Apple product and putting them through its paces, like it does for other things like...
