Microsoft’s Progress is Slow, But Not Out of Sight

We already know that Microsoft needs to start listening to the community and hearing what they have to say. We already know that not only do they need to listen, but they need to involve the community in core decision-making processes with their software, from the very planning stages. What do we as users want [...]

Microsoft Needs the Community’s Help

First of all, if you find this interesting, please digg it:
Digg it Here
In order for things to change, Microsoft needs to hear our voice.
Read on. I promise I’ll get your attention.
I’m a nobody. Microsoft has probably never heard of me in any capacity. I’m not popular in the online community. I’m not an executive and [...]

Tips for Keeping Vista Running Smoothly

As we all know, people are having issues with Windows Vista. While personally I know that these issues truly aren’t the fault of Windows itself, the world seems to want to think of it that way. Here are some tips to keeping Vista running smoothly:

Answering Zune Questions

My last post regarding the Zune 2.2 release gained quite a bit of attention! I’ve gotten several questions through the Ask Me section about various Zune-related issues.

The advantages of an x64 operating system are numerous. Applications designed with x64 in mind will run ridiculously faster, such as multimedia [...]

That’s why it’s interesting that I’m writing this right now. Over the last few years, [...]

I Love My Zune. I Don’t Like My Zune

I have just purchased a Microsoft Zune as a replacement for my old MP3 player (Creative Zen 20GB). My experience with the device and software has, so far, been extremely satisfactory. However, there were various things which I found about it which annoyed me. I just submitted those as feedback to the Zune Team in [...]

Social Networking And Its Failure

Let’s take a trip back in time. The year is 2003 and the internet is a rather pleasant place to be, although looking back we wouldn’t make that claim. MySpace and Facebook didn’t exist and half of the world didn’t visit them at least once per day. No one knew what AJAX was let alone [...]

The Best Keyboard I’ve Ever Owned

It’s ironic that I’m not a hardcore Mac OS X user since I’m such a major advocate and stickler for good looking, well designed, and highly productive user interfaces.
