I'm not impressed with the negative sentiment expressed against Virginia. Virginia has a rich history and culture that's belied by sundry aspersions and stereotypes. There's no doubt that Virginia has a certain duality to it--from which the myopic…

I don't know what's causing your problem, but--if it is MS Word--why not replace it with a free option like OpenOffice.org? I've never used iWork outside of an Apple store, though it did impress me. I can say that I enjoy using OpenOffice more t…

Thanks for the reply. I went to RadioShack today and bought one of these: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3359117 It's not a Monster and it's not a cheap-O. Best of all, it's not broken! AirTunes is a go! Rock on.

Good news if true. I hope IBM perpetuates Open Office. Their free version of Lotus is already based on Open Office (but I find it less user friendly and less functional). IBM actually has a long history of sopporting open source projects. Fo…

First post! (Stupid, I know...)

This is MS building on its "I'm A PC" campaign. That's all. As Apple commercials have defined MS for consumers, MS has had to regroup and try to set the tone in defining itself. Regrouping is something that MS must do. So, their getting into ret…

OKME does thin film batteries that operate under extreme conditions, lasting a long time. That seems to be what Apple is doing. I think OKME's batteries aren't so much directly related to chips (but I could be wrong). Of course, I have no reaso…

I wanted the new mini. Poo. I don't expect anything for the 25th anniversary and here's why: http://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/magazine/17-01/ff_mac As far as this built-in battery goes, I expect a patent lawsuit to eventually be filed by Oa…
