Thursday, April 19th, 2007So here I sit, writing a blog post in a most interesting fashion. I’m typing these words into a browser displayed on a NatureTech Note-170, a device that closely resembles a laptop, but isn’t — there’s no hard drive, RAM, or CD/DVD drive. The Note-170 is a Sun Ray client.
Sun’s Sun Ray thin-client platform has […]

Thursday, April 19th, 2007Sneak peek at Silverlight. Just in case you’re into keynote demos, this is a link to the demo that Microsoft gave at NAB 2007 showing early screens and animations done with its new Silverlight Flash competitor. (Source: PC World)
Google redoes Froogle. Apparently, it wasn’t doing that well–not sure why, it was definitely my favorite site […]

Monday, April 16th, 2007Maybe I should call it NAB News Today.
Early peek into Apple keynote at NAB 2007. It’s the National Association of Broadcasters 2007 trade show, and of course Apple is one of the keynoters. This is an early peek at what’s coming during that speech. My predictions–or maybe just my fervent hope? Some pointed words on […]
Friday the 13th
Saturday, April 14th, 2007My Friday the 13th certainly fit the stereotype. It was the day after I completed the majority of a massive office and datacenter relocation project in New Jersey. 30-something Windows, Linux and Solaris servers, two Cisco 6509 switches, a 4.5Mbit MPLS link, Internet and voice circuits, and around 20TB in four filers had to move […]

Friday, April 13th, 2007Most AV programs can’t find Storm. PC World just did a quick test to see how bad the Storm Worm impact is. Turns out most AV programs don’t find it. Test included 31 different virus programs of which only Clam, Kapersky, and Symantec reported the little bastard. Back to Clam AV for me on XP […]
Aaah…THERE’s Where Leopard Went: The iPhone
Thursday, April 12th, 2007I fucking KNEW it. TUAW’s broke it earlier today. Leopard’s delayed. But not because they’re trying to squeegee it into the iPhone. Because they’re just trying to get the iPhone out as soon as possible. Means they did what MS did when they had that glitch during Vista development. Move a bunch of programmers from […]

Thursday, April 12th, 2007Sony to do 1mil:1 aspect ratio TV. This is the OLED TV that Sony showed us at CES 2007 in January. Only problem is that it’s not the 27-inch model we saw at CES that would be capable of full 1080p resolution. Instead it’s going to be an 11-inch (nope, not a typo) capable […]

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007AMD not backing down from a price war. Even though its finances aren’t as strong as they used to be, AMD is still looking to war with Intel on the price tag front. Cuts across its entire desktop line, including the dual core set. (Source: InfoWorld)
But we still wish the Core 2 Extremes had more […]
