Last week my wife and I were watching the TV when up popped one of those Microsoft Bing commercials. I am sure you have seen the commercial where the teenage daughter asks Dad a question and in a zombie stare he goes off in a tangent babbling out obscure facts. The girl turns to her [...]
Though I am not a Mac user nor an Apple product user, I always enjoy seeing what the people at Apple introduce. Their latest introductions can only be described with one word: WOW! Their new products include a redesigned entry-level MacBook, the iMac, and the Mac mini. Oh, yeah. They even have a new mouse. [...]
Over at CNET, writer Dong Ngo has an interesting article in which he has made a comparison of Microsoft’s Windows 7 and Apple’s Snow Leopard.

October 22nd is when Microsoft will be launching its newest operating system, which it calls Windows 7. It is expected that consumers will be buying a lot of new computers this coming year.

According to the latest statistics, in homes that have computers, Mac is at 12% market share. That is up from 9% from the year before.

Profitability has been elusive for the publishing companies but they may have stumbled on a way to turn things around.

I just read over at the AppleInsider that Apple has applied to the FCC for two new devices using Bluetooth, one is a keyboard and the other is a new mouse design.
But what I found odd is this statement:
The new hardware, people familiar with the matter have said, will do away with the mechanical roller [...]
At a recent Virus Bulletin conference one of the attendees found one topic extremely interesting. The topic was about the Russian “Partnerka”, which has been mutated to attack Mac computer systems.

It seems the hired gun that At&T is using is may not able to sooth the ill feelings that Apple iPhone owners have against AT&T. When Seth Bloom posted his blog entry that Apple was to blame for the iPhone problems, not many folks were buying it. In fact it seems that more customers are [...]
The browser wars are of no concern to me since I couldn’t care less how much market share any of them command. What is important is that this newest browser war is going to benefit all of us. This new crop of browsers are faster and hopefully more secure.
During the past week I have been [...]

Surfing around the internet looking for reviews about Apple’s new operating system Snow Leopard has been a real eye opener. Apple seems to have taken a page from the Microsoft manual for pissing off folks by providing an upgrade that is full of bugs and incompatibilities. Even people who generally are Apple fanboys and who [...]
Not being an Apple person, I like reading about the new Snow Leopard operating system. I enjoyed reading this from the AP:
Snow Leopard is a relatively cheap upgrade, costing $29 for an individual user who has Leopard, the previous operating system. A “family pack” for five users costs $49.
For Mac owners using the older Tiger [...]
