Psystar Is Taken To Task By Apple

Despite having zero pity for the foolish choices made by Psystar, I do feel badly for those who purchased these PC. This lawsuit is not going to mean long term hardware support for their end users. This is not to dismiss whether Apple is or is not within their rights. That is something the law […]

When Refurbs Go Wrong

Maybe I am just old fashioned, butthis is inexcusable as far as I am concerned.

Why Isn’t FireWire 800 More Common?

Gnomie Elie Hassan writes:
To the best of my knowledge, FireWire 800 is capable of 800 mbp/s, which is twice as fast as USB 2.0. If this is the case, why is it such an underutilized specification? I can understand that hardware manufacturers want to make their hardware compatible with as many computers as possible, so […]

Unboxing Unbox

I’ve got more DVR capability in my home than should be legally allowed. But once in a while, Comcast will go sideways on me and my Cable TV signal will drop out. This varies from a brief drop that can be ignored to longer term drops. And all the DVRs in the world can’t help […]

Apple TV — Not Quite The Apple Of My Eye, But Close

I was strolling through the local Costco the other day, a sometimes painful-to-my-wallet experience, and stumbled across a pretty good deal for an Apple TV. $389 for the 160GB model. I tried, unsuccessfully, to talk myself out of getting it. The way I saw it, I have a lot of content stored in my iTunes […]

Linspire Responds!

The other day you may remember my expressed frustration with a Linspire folder issue. To be honest, I was angry and generally upset about the fact that the issue with my folder permissions being changed was something that slipped by quality control at Linspire.
