I have traditionally held a relatively high level of respect for iFixit, a web site dedicated to the repair of your iProducts, providing parts and manuals for just about every Apple product made this side of the year 2000.  I gained even more respect for them about a month ago, when they announced their quest…

I’ve known about Evernote since its early days, and after seeing it evolve quite a bit, I started using it myself back in 09.  In the almost two years I’ve been using it, I’d like to pay tribute to how it’s changed how I collect information and reflect a bit on the things it could…

Just got done reading Jason Biggs’s Verizon iPhone related predictions (this is assuming that there even is a Verizon iPhone; I’m not totally convinced it’ll happen before 2012), and he’s predicting a very AT&T-sympathetic picture of what it will be like when Verizon gets the iPhone.  I really disagree: First, expect iPhone sales to surpass…

Edit: I regret my choice of words in this post (and in the title in particular); I wasn’t writing with my own voice; I was using the style of another popular blogger who was active around this time (not saying that I was writing this as a satire or parody; I literally was just that…

I have to say that I feel like the gay rights movement has come a long ways when the so-called “most hated family in America” is the Phelps clan of Topeka, Kansas.  For those unfamiliar, they’re these guys: What’s remarkable about this family is that they take gay hating so far, that nobody will even…

“Oh no he di’n’t!” I was having a civil conversation with some guy who was trying to explain to me how Apple would do much better business if they made cheaper computers (apparently in his universe Dell was kicking Apple’s ass in revenues, profit margins, and total cash on hand) and then he went and…

The Mac App Store is launching tomorrow, and it’s arguably the most exciting thing to have happened to Mac developers since XCode.  If you’re a tech enthusiast, it may be difficult to get excited about what is ultimately just a newly developed distribution system for the Mac apps we’ve known and loved for the past…

While our political airwaves keep getting cluttered with endless talking points about spending vs. providing government services, I can’t help but feel like it’s a giant facade covering up a very real deficiency of our government–one that has a very possible, and very simple solution. Our government’s not very agile. Pretty much all of the…

It seems the US government is doomed to never learn from history.  Though I’m a little late to the party and the controversy du jour is probably soon to be replaced with another (remember how everyone was complaining about the TSA just a few weeks ago?) I have been pondering about this issue and I…

It’s a little bit mind blowing to me that two weeks ago was Thanksgiving day (edit: I started writing the post two days ago.).  I had to look at my calendar widget in disbelief to make sure I hadn’t missed a week in there, but no, it really has only been two weeks.  Since then…
