If you want HD movies on the cheap, Best Buy is clearancing the Xbox 360 HD-DVD Player for $49.99. Microsoft promises they will maintain the full warranty on the drive, and you can use it with a PC, too. While the future of HD-DVD movie production is still unclear, it may make a comeback for […]
It’s time for the big fight everyone has been waiting for… pitting a new MacBook Air against a three-year-old 12-inch PowerBook G4. Notice, when Apple launched the MacBook Air, they did not compare it to the product it was perceived to have replaced. Users have been clamoring Apple to make a 12-inch MacBook Pro since […]
Memtest86+ was updated to version 2.01 today. The ultimate memory tester added several new features to its battery of memory tests… but one in particular stands out: Mac support. The application is one of the most recognized software diagnostic tools on the planet. Based on its less-updated competitor, Memtest86 (no plus), the application runs test […]
One of my big gripes with Price Protectr (okay, fine, I don’t have any big gripes… it’s a small one), is that it didn’t let you go back in time and add a purchase that you made, say, four of five days ago. True, Price Protectr lets you chose a different date, but the options […]
My Windows Home Server got sick, and I lost all the PC backups. The backup database became corrupted, and while I tried all of Microsoft’s suggestions… only the last one worked. And, of course, the last one is to tell WHS to erase all PC backups in its matrix. Worse, I was replacing a hard […]
No joke, I did, years ago. Microsoft had an idea contest for ways to make better use of MSN Direct, and yeah, I sent in the “most compelling case” for MSN Direct on Windows Mobile, and Microsoft thanked me by giving me the win for the contest. The pitch was basically what Apple did with […]
Mozy for Mac has been updated to version 0.9.2.0. This update reflects their Release Candidate 2 milestone. Remember, Mozy gives everyone a free 2 GB of backup storage, and unlimited backup storage (per machine) is only $5 per month. Use the link below, and they’ll bump that up to 2.25 GB of free storage. And, […]
I’ve quietly been testing Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack 1 since it was in its very early days of development. The update that is determined to “save Vista” is finally out, but I’ve been using it long enough to give you an informed opinion on it. Many fear Service Pack releases. I don’t know why. […]
Yeah, I’ve been tinkering around with jailbreaking more than most. Why don’t I talk about it? Well, it’s not mainstream… it’s not simple anymore, and it’s a big time-waster for most people. One thing I noticed with 1.1.3 was the need to store stuff off the small 300 MB partition. Apple is already pushing up […]
Now that the SDK is imminent, I’m going to be crafting some bounties for some apps that I want to see authored. Why now? Because I want these apps to be mainstream, so that exponentially more people will actually use them. I want you to suggest some apps that you’d like to see sponsored. Post […]
