Tivo on My Mind
Tivo gave their earnings statement today (reported by Reuters), and while it was not the end of the world, it was not encouraging. I have owned a series 2 Tivo, and it was amazing. Incredibly user friendly, best consumer electronics remote control, great experience overall. We stopped our Tivo service when we cut our cable [...]
More On the Microsoft / News Corp. Deal
Businessweek has an article that brings up many of the same points I had, just with more authority. I still do not see how this deal benefits either company in the long-term.
Microsoft Getting Squeezed by Google and Apple?
Great article on TechCrunch on Apple and Google squeezing Microsoft’s cash cow. I can see why the News Corp. and Bing deal may be a case of simple retaliation.
Microsoft Will Not Save the News Industry
For those owners of websites who do not want their content indexed by google, please edit your robots.txt file and shut up about it. Which leads me to today’s bombshell news: News Corp is probably going to yank their search results from Google and sell them to Bing. This is just such a bad idea, [...]
The Future

Vista Makes Me Angry
There are probably a million posts like this, lamenting the ills that Microsoft has wrought upon the earth with this miserable excuse of an OS. I am going to pile on for cathartic reasons. In my home I have 2 Macs that have at their various stages of life run Tiger, Leopard, and Snow Leopard. [...]
Is October 22nd Really Party Time?
There are few things that drive me to drinking quicker than bad marketing. I’m not saying this is bad marketing, but for some reason it is not making me want to run out and buy Windows 7. I have been using Windows 7 since the first release candidate, and have decided it is my new [...]
These Are A Few of My Favorite Things
One of the things I love about modern technology is that as forward looking as we all are, we still look backwards at what was once high tech, and make it new again. So I just found out that Capcom released Megaman II for the iPhone. The GREATEST GAME EVER released on the NES, on [...]
The Meta-Blogging Post
As far as I know, every serious blog has to have one post blogging about blogging. Welcome to mine! I have confession to make right off the bat. This is not my first blog. It is not my second, or third blog. It is somewhere after that. I am a person who has started a [...]
