My usual assortment of
goodies carried as of July 28. Yes, I read Hawking, doesn’t everyone?
"Frankly I don’t know enough about Facebook to make a decision just yet. I just find it crazy and the pace is so fast that very little of substance is being done." — and Jason is totally on the mark, I don’t *do* facebook, either.
"Apple says it actually sold 270,000 iPhones in the first thirty hours (that’s about 150 iPhones per minute)." — it seems AT&T’s claim of 146,000 is based on fully activated services, not raw sales.. and the activation delays likely did not help one bit.
Mac lives here1.
OS X 10.4.9 running on intel core duo E6420, asus p5b PCIe mainboard with 2g DDR2 riding shotgun (↩)
"DropBoks is a little website that allows you to securely store your files online. No bells and whistles, just simplicity." — 1gb of storage for pretty much anything, simple, no frills, easy to use and utterly brilliant.

I know Go Daddy to be a legitimate business. I know this primarily because I use them as my registrar for, now, two domains. All the same, their website design creeps me out. Not only are they trying to sell you something but it feels like they’re trying to sell you […]
"A lot of IT infrastructure is fragile rickety crap, and the people responsible for it aren’t smart enough to fix it so they make rules and place blame.." — no, the ‘people responsible’ are cost-fixated management, not the grunts expected to support it
"XREP is a self-contained, wireless projectile that fires from a 12-gauge shotgun and delivers the same NMI bio-effect as our handheld TASER X26, delivered to a distance of up to 100 feet.." — take your next non-lethal cubicle shoot-out up a notch.
"For all you Gmail users hitting those "Report Spam" and "Not Spam" buttons, thanks a ton!" — just like Akismet, google’s spam engine ‘learns’ and gains IQ via user input - if you beleive it needs to improve, be involved in the solution.
"This does NOT unlock the iPhone after doing this, it still remains carrier dependent. But you can now use any existing AT&T or Cingular pre-paid account." — via dailytech, the first steps have been taken towards unlocking the iPhone for any carrier.
"Put one of many celebrities on the wheel and test your knife throwing skills." — decisions decisions.. Lohan, Condi or Bush? It’s a tough call.
