Legal issues with EMI, the same company that didn't want to give a potential alien race free access to Beatles music. (With the launch of the Voyager probe in 1977, NASA, under the suggestion of Carl Sagan, wanted to include "Here Comes the Sun" …

Black & Decker refuses to support Flash on my toaster. We should sue them, too. On a less ridiculous note, Adobe is having Apple investigated for anticompetitve actions, saying that Apple is preventing Adobe from having a monopoly on the inte…

I jailbroke my iPhone 4 today, but then reverted it a couple hours later. Most of the apps that convinced me to jailbreak in the first place just didn't work. I suspect that they've not been updated for iOS4 and without any social functions like the…

I may be an iPhone lover, but being that I live in the Waterloo area (where RIM is headquartered) and some of my paycheque actually comes from RIM funding, this seems very wrong that one of RIM's biggest products in a long time is being introduced o…

$119 in competition with a product that students get for $55 with nothing extra, everyone else gets for $79. Add an extra $80 to get an app with no better featureset than one that all Mac users get for free. Sounds real competitive.

An unfortunate layout of my room means that my iMac is back on to my window, and direct sunlight causes the fans to go into overdrive during heavier applications (such as World of Warcraft - note the fans stay inaudible at night). This is likely a r…

I'm planning on being at my local Telus outlet first thing Friday morning. I'm rather hopeful of little competition. The guys there told me they had a lineup for various Blackberrys (I'm in RIM country) and absolutely no line for the 3G, 3GS, nor iP…

Indeed a patent troll. I can't help but notice that this should cover EVERY spam filter in existence... so why isn't Microsoft or Mozilla listed? My university uses Zimbra, which has spam filtering, and they're not named. Likely tons of others I'm f…
