I try to say a lot while saying very little. Get used to it.
new highs
…or lows. barely has the HD format been released, and the Blu-ray been readied, than they’ve figured out a very basic way for piracy.
i wonder when they’ll realise. piracy can never be killed. ever. they might as well try to ensure its not a viable option, rather than encourage people to break their rules.

notes: buzzing around
about 3 weeks ago - No comments
Google’s latest experiment – Buzz – has been launched to the world recently, with varying degrees of appreciation, hate, irritation and all the reactions that every new social idea is greeted with. Personally, it is a social media outlet/inlet that I can get on board with – seeing as how it integrates nicely into my More >
notes: what should be the real plan for the chrome os?
about 3 months ago - 5 comments
The world has been talking about the Google Chrome OS. We have people saying ‘next big huge thing‘, and obviously, ‘next big huge steaming pile of crap‘.
Me, personally? I haven’t, and still don’t like the idea of Google having a browser on the market – it reeks too much of a company trying to ensure More >
personas-ization

Somehow Personas is making me regress. Back to a time when I first started using Firebird 0.7, and hacked my way into theming it (the Firefox of those days did not look pretty – it looked like what it was: a quick, nifty version of the Mozilla Suite Browser). And then with Firefox 0.9, official More >
windows 7 – quirks, quips and quarks
about 4 months ago - 7 comments
So I finally moved to Windows 7 on one of the machines I use regularly. It wasn’t without its share of weird-ass issues – I don’t think any M$ OS can be without its quirks. Not issues/problems, mind you. Quirks. I will try to update this based on what else I figure out in the More >

[opinion due to : Betanews - Zune HD: The best portable media player you may never buy ]
Like many other reviews have done before him, the author demonstrates real love for the Zune HD. He also stresses limitations – both artificial and real – which apparently translate to it being the device that nobody will More >
adobe SUCKS

Step 1: Get notified that Adobe Flash Player must be updated on PC to overcome (one if its many) significant security flaws.
Step 2: Be shown page to download and install latest version of Flash player on computer.
Step 3: Click ‘Allow’ in Firefox.
Step 4: Sudden pop-up of ‘Adobe Download Manager’, which distinctly shows that Mc-fuckin’-Afee fuckin’ More >
why you should never buy an HP laptop of any kind ever
about 8 months ago - 16 comments
Once upon a time I bought a laptop.
[I know that start is not as great as 'Many many years ago, on a galaxy far far away..' but you can pretend those words appear on the line above if they mean that much to you.]
Anyway. A laptop. An HP dv2500t. Yes, the very same laptop that More >
no posts would be better than this post

I wish I could post about something interesting. Sadly, since I’m all out of ideas.. I’m just going to rant and make snide remarks about news items.. which are not necessarily news anymore.
By some quirk of fate, most news items I have read in the last few days have all been randomly crappy. There was More >

the fact that you’re reading this sentence in your reader, should give you a clue.
i’ve read more than a few posts, such as this, and this, this, this, this, this, this [i assume More >
why linux is not for human beings
about 1 year ago - 2 comments
having spent 3 hours of my life in trying to get a dual-monitor setup + compiz on ubuntu 8.10, i have come to the conclusion that it is simply impossible.
[note: this is on a machine with 2 X300SE ATI cards which are connected to a dell (1280x1024) and a sony (1024x768).]
observations:
ATI+ubuntu = configuration hell. always More >

Piracy will not go away until they remove the reason for it…make stuff available to everyone for less…or for free eventually….the incentive will go away and that would kill it from inside…
about 3 years ago
Exactly, their efforts would be much better spent eslwhere. Implementing all kinds of copy prevention stuff makes things harder on everyone, but in the end it’s the average consumer who’s burdened by it as the pirates will find a way around it anyways.
And unless they’re giving it away for free, piracy will never stop. If nothing else, there will always be a group of people who, for whatever reason, aren’t willing to pay for things but wouldn’t mind having it anyways. But then, these people don’t actually detract from sales since they weren’t viable customers in the first place.
