As a previous Palm Treo 650 owner, I’ve had some bad experiences with so-called “smart phones”. The device was plagued with serious bugs such as reboots in the middle of calls, constant lock-ups, and poor call quality. I had my doubts that these devices were smart in any way. [...]

I got my Yahoo Photos Beta invite in my inbox tonight and immediately began to play. The first thing I noticed was all the “stale” albums listed from my early days of using Yahoo Photos. I immediately deleted this stuff and jumped right into uploading:

Right from the onset, Yahoo detected my Firefox browser [...]

As you may or may not know, I am an avid user of the XBox 360 console. I’ve been surprised by how well Microsoft has delivered and put substantial pressure on Sony and their Playstation 3. Many gaming magazines and webzines have come to a consensus that the XBox360’s launch title lineup has [...]

What a way to start my memorial day weekend. I had gotten home early from work when I noticed fire trucks zooming past my window. I went outside to investigate and saw this:

There was a nasty brush fire about 2 houses over. I saw a bunch of people with water hoses and [...]

As a previous owner of a Treo 600, I went through a lot of “stuff” that I’d rather not discuss in detail. I will say that I had some unpleasurable experiences with this smartphone. I graduated to a BlackBerry and was addicted to email bigtime. I definitely know why they call [...]

You may recall my previous entry regarding MacZot running a promotion to give away free copies of AppZapper. This event was dubbed “BlogZot 1.0″ and MacZot awarded the community $65,000 in free software.
Today, we have BLOGZOT 2.0 on MacZOT.com which involves free copies of the Mac OS X editor, SubEthaEdit from CodingMonkeys. MacZOT [...]

It is done. Battlefield 2 runs on a MacBook Pro and as far as I’m concerned, it runs well enough for anyone interested in the game. It took me a good minute to get Windows XP installed and updated via Windows Update. I also installed Grisoft’s free version of AVG for my [...]

Umm.. wow?
On the heels of the wildly popular “challenge” put forth to dual boot MacOS X and Windows XP on Apple’s Intel hardware, Apple has released their “own” solution dubbed, Boot Camp. I didn’t see this coming. I was skeptic about the talk of Apple supporting Virtualization in Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard) since [...]

My one stop shop for all things newsworthy, Newsvine, has implemented three user requested features to their already stellar news system:

Threaded Commenting System - Newsvine has implemented Threaded comments that are 1 level deep. I am happy they made this decision so as to not create the “clutter” plagued by sites like Slashdot and [...]

This is interesting. AppZapper has been released today and the developers are doing an interesting promotion. If 259 Bloggers mention their release, they’ll make it free (temporarily).

AppZapper 1.3 will be released today. The uninstaller Apple forgot has teamed up with MacZOT.com to run a special promotion for the release of their [...]
