Some people are easily pleased

Just found Ed Bott's report of the "crapware" free laptop that Sony have given him to review (thanks to John Gruber/ Daring Fireball ). I'm glad for Ed that he's so happy, and this is certainly a big improvement over the last time he got down deep with a Sony laptop, but I've...

New Buildings and Apologies

In the grand tradition of this blog, I need to apologise for not posting again. I don't have much of a defence, except that I've been very busy at work for reasons that I can now talk about: My employer has finally received all the confirmations, funding and planning permission we need in order...

Round-up

I just wanted to quickly gather up some links to articles I've found interesting of late. First of all, Claus Valca has some great posts over on Grand Stream Dreams. I want to draw your attention to a link roundup and comments post Claus made a week or so ago because of some interesting stuff he's...

In the Meh-sh

So it seems the fruits of Ray Ozzie's labour at Microsoft are starting to appear in public at last. And I for one say "Your point being...?" I'd love to link to their blog at this point to let them explain it, but it seems that their .live.com server is knackered at the moment. Bodes...

You know what would be even faster?

I found this post on Lifehacker via Kurt Wismer , someone whose comments I've kept an eye on for since I started reading the alt.comp.virus newsgroup, which is quite a time ago now. Kurt seems to have the habit of annoying people by simply speaking the truth as he sees it and not spending too much...

Netscape Navigator to die (again?) on Feb 1st 2008.

Ah the death of Netscape. I remember it well and I guess I'll miss it, a large part of computer history and my own too I guess, so goodbye and thankyou Netscape Navigator. Just finished reading this blog post on wired that reports that Netscape Navigator is to fold it's tent and slip into the...

Internet Explorer 8 announced. No one appears to care.

So with great fanfare*cough*, Microsoft have announced the next version of their web browser , which will be Internet Explorer 8. Didn't see that one coming! Dean Hachamovitch, manager of the IE team, has some fun with 'alternative' names in the IE Team blog post I've linked to above...

Waiting to switch...

Glenn Wolsey posted today about his experiences with migrating from a desktop machine to a MacBook Pro and how it's caused him to re-think his storage strategy. This got me thinking about my own computers and storage needs. I'm actually very happy with my MacBook even if it isn't a 'pro'...

Boycott Mac Heist. It really is that simple.

As if they didn't already have a bit of a reputation in some parts, it seems the people behind MacHeist have really decided to sink as low as they can this year. If you're involved with MacHeist in any way, I'd like to take a moment to thank you. I wondered if you were all as big a bunch...

PCWorld.com for Business? Forget it.

Ok, the Captain has to comment on this article , discovered through daring fireball . No wait, that link is dead because the author of the article decided to issue some kind of correction . For months now, you've barely been able to pop open a web browser without spotting a few iPhone stories raving...
