Dear men… haven’t we always had these moments?

Introducing Windows Red: A serious plan to fix Windows 8 | Microsoft windows – InfoWorld

This is an interesting article, but it still addresses the overall cosmetic flaws with Windows. Windows has had much more fundamental flaws since the days of Windows 3.11 that still go unfixed. I’ll list a few of them here. These flaws prevent me from ever using Windows again as my main personal operating system and if you knew better, you’d feel the same way.

Apparently I have to get off the Internet until I can see Star Trek Into Darkness. Sigh.

I still have a 2008 Mac Pro (3,1) and it’s still running strong. I’ve invested a lot of money in keeping that thing running. I probably won’t do that again for a machine such as this, but for now I intend to keep it afloat for a few more years. Yeah, I know, it’s 5 years old already. Still, it’s a beast. 8 processors with 32gb of RAM and multi-terabytes of hard drive space can last me a little longer.

Java update is out there to fix the zero-day vulnerability.

Cheers… until the next one.

Ubuntu has announced a mobile phone OS. It will demo at CES January 8-11.

Looks pretty spiffy, but how will it play in this market? At least it’ll keep everyone honest.

Ubuntu for phones.
