Jesus H. Tapdancing Christ! It's obviously costing this troll dearly that there's a product on the market that he doesn't want to buy. I personally don't like asparagus. I'm going to go picket the grocery store and make everybody's life a living hel…

I'm not going to lie, I've been enjoying the wild and woolly world of freeware and donationware and nagware and shareware for the Mac. When I downloaded that utility that was supposed to eliminate "duplicate" files, and it threw my Mach Kernel in th…

From the responses on this and another thread, Java and Flash obviously both have their defenders. They're all probably right that people's negative impressions of both are due to improper use by web designers. I have to say, both have adversely imp…

The "Enterprise" market will never (willingly) switch away from Blackberry any more than they'll ever give up Microsoft Office. In both cases, nobody else can deliver the unpleasnt user experience they feel the need to inflict on their vict....uh, e…

How much does anybody want to bet that when 3G finally gets here, all its supposed advantages are so much horse-hockey, like most of what these techno-geeks are screaming about? And who is going to print out a picture from a phone at 8 x 10? 2 me…

I just can't see the fact that the SDK only runs on Intel Macs as a huge limitation. Maybe Apple could have written a PPC version, maybe even a Windows version (if you wanted to wait another few months.) I think not writing a Windows version is a go…

Epocrates is an impressive app, and just the medical profession could benefit from a dozen more just like it. But really: think about it! Pretty much any occupation that requires you to be able to read and write could use (or quite possibly be compl…

Anybody who would be satisfied with a heavily compressed 720p movie when they can get the same thing in full size 1080p form that they can keep forever would pay money for music compressed to 128kbps...oh, yeah, right. They do! P. T. Barnum was righ…

They had someone from Kleiner Perkins onstage and they didn't ask them about EEstor? Would anybody be interested in a 200-hour battery for the MacBook Air?

Now, now, ALPICH is entitled to complain. Obviously, from what he says, it costs you nothing to be a WinCE or RIM developer, and they distribute your apps for nothing, and give you 100% of the price. That being the case, Apple will obviously fail in…

I have MenuMeters in my menu bar, so I can watch my CPU going crazy trying to load some of these Flash-heavy web pages. I have plenty of time to watch it, too. Explain to me again why anybody would want this on a mobile device that they would like t…

I think it's more than possible that the studios promised enough titles to fulfill that prediction, and now are dragging their feet to make Apple look bad, while giving sweetheart deals to Amazon, et. al.

I guess I'm good at avoiding non standards-compliant websites, as I've had no problems at all in this area. A few will say "for a better experience" I might want to try Firefox. Since I don't want a freakin' "experience," I just want to check my e-m…
