I see it happen every day.Ā Thereās a cast of characters out there ā Leo Laporte, Chris Pirillo, Jason Calacanis, John Dvorak, Robert Scoble (whom I absolutely DESPISE because of that āIām the man!ā snapshot on his blogā¦ makes me want to beat him with his fucking tripod)ā¦ a whole elite clique of cynical blog/journalists who bring up topics and lead folks around them.
Lawsuit says eatery to blame for 9-foot tapeworm ā CNN.com
GROSS!Ā EWW!Ā SICK!Ā GROSS ALERT!Ā OMG WTF THIS IS DISGUSTING!
Fugitive mom āuncomfortable,ā wants out of prison ā CNN.com
I donāt recall anything in my lifeās teachings that says prison should be comfortable.Ā Isnāt that why you avoid it?
The net is abuzz tonight as MobileMe users recieve more notices that MobileMe still isnāt what Apple had hoped it would be, so itās offering 60 days more for free.
Paul Thurrott has already played the part of the cynic and provided a rather insightful metaphor, but Iām going to come down on the positive side and say that MobileMe has been a wonderful experience for me.Ā Not only has it been wonderful, itās turned my iPhone into something I can only describe as a thing of glory.
Way to go you idiot bastards:
Man whose US immigration notice was sent to the wrong address is detained with untreated spinal cancer until he dies, denied access to his wife and children: āA Hong Kong computer programmer who had legally resided in the US for 15 years (since he was 17) and fathered two American children went for his final green card interview and was locked up, detained until he died of cancer that the DHS refused to treat him for. He had overstayed a visa (the DHS sent a key notice to the wrong address), and this prompted the DHS to lock him away and demand that he waive all right to immigration appeal and be immediately deported. In detention, his complaints of excruciating back pain were treated as fakery, and he was dragged around in shackles after he lost the ability to walk, taken on long, bumpy drives while official demanded that he drop his immigration appeals. The jailers who caused his death were private contractors with fat deals with the DHS to lock up immigration detainees.
As you can see, Iāve made a fairly large update to the WordPress theme. Like it? Hate it? Tell me all about it.
I found a forum plugin for this thing too. Anyone interested in yet another forum? I doubt it.
Tomās Hardware posts an article with a Mac Pro/PC cost comparison and what do ya knowā¦ it draws pretty much the same conclusion I posted in June of last year. (WARNING: Difference is that I did a cost comparison between a Dell PowerEdge server with Small Business Server 2003 and an XServe, which turns out to be an even greater value).
I notice Paul Thurrott isnāt rebutting the article either. I donāt consider myself part of the iCabal, but I do consider myself a member of the class of common computing sense.
I have this blog post percolating in my head in which I will impart unto you my knowledge of using several tools on the Mac and PC for syncing your calendar, email, tasks and contact information. Itās a pretty large post and probably deserves to be its own article. I want to offer suggestions on how to accomplish many syncing scenarios for several situations that might fit your bill. Iāve experimented with enough of these syncing utilities to know what works best and what doesnātā¦ well, for me anyway. If it works for me, itās gotta work for someone else, so I will write it up in the hopes that it will help someone who has one foot in the Mac world and one foot in the PC world.
You may or may not know this, but Iāve been in Denver for the past week for a conference for work. The conference has gone well and most of the participants have flown home.
Originally I changed my flight because I thought that project management wanted to get together here on Friday to work on some issues, but that turned out to not be the case. I ended up with a free Friday. One of my coworkers asked if I was interested in hiking and I was immediately gameā¦ Yes!
