by Adam Fisher-Cox on Apr 28, 2008 at 09:12 AM

This is part two of a series. Read Part One here. What I Hate About Windows 1) The Taskbar - Windows users will crow on and on about the taskbar’s superiority, but it is crap. It has no one purpose, rather it is a poorly implemented strip that serves as… Continue Reading »

Boot Camp 2.1 released, world keeps on crapping

by Alec Feld on Apr 25, 2008 at 04:07 PM

Usually semi-major releases excite me (I consider a .1 somewhat of a major release) excite me, but this brand spanking new release from Apple seems to be quite dull. Today’s release is Boot Camp 2.1.

Psystar Breakdown: From Announcement to Video Proof

by Adam Fisher-Cox on Apr 24, 2008 at 10:17 PM

With so much mayhem surrounding Psystar, the company that announced last week the availability of what are essentially Mac clones, I thought it a good idea to give an easy-reader breakdown of all the fuss.

by Adam Fisher-Cox on Apr 17, 2008 at 12:19 PM

What I hate about Mac 1) USB Devices Always Wake the Computer - If my computer is sleeping, and I unplug my iPod to go out, why does my computer wake up? Why, why, why? Same if I’m unplugging my display/USB hub to use my computer as a laptop. The… Continue Reading »

Safari is all the buzz, but with a buzz comes a sting

by Josh Holat on Apr 14, 2008 at 11:42 AM
