Apparently I’m not the only one who has noticed the iSight camera has disappeared. While perusing through my web log analysis for the start of March, I discovered that at least 2 people have used the search term, “what happened to isight” to arrive here.
It’s gone, and that probably means something – but I’ve not been around Apple’s stuff for long. I certainly wouldn’t want to start any excited rumors or anything – but dayum, if they come up with an 8-core Mac Pro that includes an iSight, that’ll fawkin rawk. But dear Goddess, I want a Mac and I want out of this Microsoft hell.
I think my left ear is deformed. I cannot keep an ear bud in it. It keeps slipping out. Help.
So I’ve pulled down the latest Parallels software and thrown it on my Mac. My first action was to do a leap of faith and blow away the VM of Windows that I’ve had for some time and reinstall it as a Boot Camp’d partition.
Then, I fired up Parallels and told it to use the partition. Shockingly enough, it works… and it works well.
It’s scary for Microsoft when software has advanced so far that they can corral Windows into a window or a partition, either way… with little user effort. VERY little user effort.
Grr… no one told me the feed from the Asia Albums site was broken. How dare you… all of you 🙂
P.S. Now that I’ve developed a miniature script that fixes iWeb permissions after publishing to this server, you can bet I’ll do more work with iWeb and that site in the future. That was the one big thing that was holding me from playing with it more.
It’s pretty sad when you title a blog post just so you can jog your memory about what you’re going to say, just in case you go onto a long-winded schpeal (sp).
Okie, if you’re an Exchange admin – particularly an Exchange admin – even more particular an Exchange admin of a large enterprise – if you’ve not been paying attention to the disaster that Satan doth bring upon you known as Daylight Saving Time 2007, you should be fired from your job. You should be setting expectations of your users right now. Their calendars are toast, friends. Toast. Those three weeks during the delta period, they are toast.
I’m going to have to agree with Herman on tonight’s Lost. It just wasn’t all there. I’m not sure – maybe I just wasn’t paying the right amount of attention. Maybe I just wasn’t “in” to it tonight. I don’t know. I like to think that it’s rare that they produce a weak episode, but it seems like they actually did this time. It was disjointed. It had bad edits. It was a little too elusive and symbolic. For a show that billed itself as revealing three of the greatest mysteries of the show… it just didn’t deliver.
If you go over to resellerratings.com (direct link here) and look up 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, you’ll discover that they had a really, really bad Valentine’s Day. The rating is an abysmal 0.70 out of 10 (that’s right, below 1 point!) and the pages are filled with irate customers who didn’t get their bundles of love delivered on time… or at all, really.
Really interesting reading – sometimes it makes me wonder how many folks can register a domain in a fly-by-night operation, get the hits to the website, promise things like this, take the money…
So I’m a little undecided on Office 2007. The ribbon thing is… well, cartoony. The blog posting is nice, especially if this one succeeds.
Is it just me, or did the iSight cameras (non-integrated) disappear from the Apple Store?
Could we be seeing an upgrade in the iSight line in the near future?
Today I became quite fascinated by the Twingley Blogosphere Screensaver (I lost the link and I’m too lazy to go look it up – Google it, gang). The Twingley Blogosphere Screensaver gives you that spooky feeling you used to get when you first hooked up a Hayes 300 baud Smartmodem to jack into the rest of the planet. It’s that feeling where the entire world was at your fingertips.
Tonight I’ve been listening to Macbreak Weekly and watching the screensaver roll. Interestingly enough, now that it’s nighttime in the states, you can see the activity blooming like mad. It’s beautiful to watch… and if you were able to watch the waves from space, I’d imagine it would look something like that.
