Email Addiction Worse: Company Data on Personal Devices


Email Addiction Worse: Company Data on Personal Devices

I think my email usage has plateaued for the last year. Twitter, Plurk and other Social Network sites have picked up the slack. I don’t use email as a “Instant Messanger” for the most part.  I still use email of course and yes: I will check my email on my phone - my personal cell [...]

Virtualize your Mac? DiscCloud Wants to Put Apple Leopard in the


Virtualize your Mac? DiscCloud Wants to Put Apple Leopard in the Cloud.

In the last couple months we’ve seen PC manufacturer Psystar offer Mac OS  X Leopard with their PC. Apple has sued due to the fact they are not installing on Apple-labeled-hardware. So will DiscCloud have any better chance by taking the OS off the machine?
DiscCloud is an appliance that houses the Leopard virtualization software. The [...]

Psystar is Counter-Suing. Do they Have a Case?

Psystar has been bucking the system by selling a PC that will run Windows, Linux and (gasp!) Apple software. Apple of course sued Psystar for doing this. Now Psystar has come back with a counter suit claiming Monopoly. Do they have a leg to stand on?
Apple had it’s share of clones throughout the years. From [...]

If it’s Not One Thing…. When Tech Goes Down


If it's Not One Thing.... When Tech Goes Down

This last couple weeks has been really trying on the tech. It all started with the main PC - I knew it needed to be reloaded because of some ntdll.dll errors I’ve been getting. I decided to take it down last week and reload before everything went south and I couldn’t do anything.

Firefox Download Manager Slow and Annoying. Please Fix.


Firefox Download Manager Slow and Annoying. Please Fix.

On my podcast, I ran through a TechTweak to continue a download if the download is taking a longer time. Little did I know that issue was more Firefox than receiving packets.
When I was beta testing Firefox, I noticed that downloading files took a lot longer and caused the browser to actually run slower. I [...]

Comcast is Watching You. Good or Bad?


Comcast is Watching You. Good or Bad?

The New York Times reports of a Blogger who gets an email after complaining about a service that is not there. Other people have complained about their bills and Comcast comes back with a “Can I Help”? Even others find themselves with internet connection issues for trying to use the service. This begs the question: [...]

Pretty vs Functional. What do you look for?


Pretty vs Functional. What do you look for?

OK. So we don’t see 200+ lb women gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. We don’t see a Yugo on the cover of Hot Rod. How many would take Matthew Mcconaughey over Jack Black (I wouldn’t take either, but you know what I’m talking about)?
We live in a world where sometimes form overtakes [...]

When Will Computerized Voting Become Mainstream?


When Will Computerized Voting Become Mainstream?

In the movie “Man of the Year”, we saw a flawed Computer Voting System error a Comedian into the prominent role as President. In real life there can be no nationwide contract for voting machines. Each state regulates how it’s going to let voters partake in elections and whether it will comply with Federal standards.
However, [...]

Spam Bust Brings Spam Down - Is That A Good Thing?

Spam Bust Brings Spam Down - Is That A Good Thing?

No, I am not an advocate of Spam. I am an advocate of controlled email. If you ask for it, you should get it, but it doesn’t mean you should get your email shared for so called “3rd party” affiliates. For if they are no longer and affiliate, do they still have your email address? [...]
