I have looked into this latest MS endevour and have discovered something: I think I am know less now than when I started!

OK, so the Apple Mac Mini is looking cool, still. But instead of the price coming down, they are trying to march into the living room? What happened to being a transition to the world of Apple? Focus Jobs, Focus!

I suppose that for some, the testing of the Windows Live service must be feeling like the start of a full time job. Not a bad thing really, just means there is still much of the jury out as to a collective consensus on its overall worth to the end user. (Speaking for myself, of […]

This project Higgins sounds fascinating. But the big question is whether or not it will really ever be something that people can accept in everyday life?

Who’d thought. Another AOL idea could potentially hit the proverbial fan. From the looks of it, some organizations are less than thrilled about the idea of a pay-per-send email system.

Alright, it seems that Sony is ‘ready to rumble’ with their not-so-famed Blu-ray format. Coupled with some movies, the biggest debut in my opinion will happen when the PS3 actually bothers to show up on the store shelves. Short of that, I am not too sure that they are going to sell many of the […]

There is simply no question about it - data centers are in total demand. Apple’s stretching out their arms and thus, taking in yet another data center. Could this be the sign of things to come or just Apple working through their usual growing pains?

You know, Google Desktop 3 or not, I am simply not sure that this is something that I would like to fool with. Speaking for myself, I feel they need to work hard at regaining my faith in how they are dealing with my data from my desktop. Thus far, I am just not feeling […]

It depends. No one is going to want to view a five minute video podcast on their TV. It’s too short! Now if there were longer podcasts, this concept might possibly float.

Hmm, I suppose it had to happen. Yup, Google Video has added content from the US National Archives. Will anyone actually care? At this point I am not going to hold my breath until this has had a chance to settle for a time.

Should Apple be concerned? Could Creative see even more competition? I myself am still unsure as MS works to push their Origami project into the light of the press…

OK, this article is pretty messed up. But we cannot argue that there isn’t a really good lesson here for those who wish to learn from it: WiFi is available to those who would mooch it off ya. And often locking down things is just not enough.

“Crack down, smack down, you’re busted!” OK, perhaps not you personally. But if someone you know is pirating DVDs, might be best to stay clear from them for the next few months to be safe…

Going to far or is Yahoo making the right call? Speaking for myself, I am not someone who even uses Yahoo mail so my opinion is not on the chopping block today on this matter…

Looks like consumers are going to be nailed on the cost of the PS3. Sometimes I feel like Sony wants to see just how far they can push away common sense before consumers tell them to simply stick it in their ear!

After reading this, I cannot help but feel like I need to be using iTunes a lot more often. Seriously, check out the virtual bankroll of cool stuff this guys gets for buying the billionth song from iTunes! It’s insane!

Well now, I guess that takes care of that! It seems that the p2p server known as Razorback2 on the eDonkey network has been terminated thanks in part to Belgium and Switzerland law enforcement. It took them long enough, but I guess that it’s better late than never.

I will not question for a minute that Vista is going to be a huge upgrade over XP. But the big question for me will be whether or not its going to be worth the upgrade right after the release? I mean, I still have nightmares about locating XP drivers back in 2001…

I’ll confess. Lately I have been so caught up in the world of instant gratification that I sometimes sacrifice getting something right for speed. Eh, it can happen to the best of us…

Well now, it looks like I will be upgrading across the board (Windows and Linux). With 1.5 out in the world of Thunderbird, I can finally see what improvements have been developed for spam filtering.
