Just wanted to say Happy Birthday to my lovely wife. Don’t go killing the orchid now! Did I mention that orchids aren’t cheap… BTW – You’ll like your other gift. Heh.

Apple Rolls New G5s Comments Off
Apple has released new versions of the “Power Mac G5″:http://www.apple.com/powermac/, bringing the first model in the lineup to “just” $1799. Still a little over priced for only a 1.6Ghz model, which doesn’t even support the same RAM configuration nor does it include any PCI-X (133mhz) slots. In a nutshell, for $1799 the machine is still [...]
Comment Spam Be Gone Comments Off
Count me in against the “fight of comment spam”:http://kalsey.com/2003/11/comment_spam_manifesto/. So far I haven’t had to much comment spam, thanks in part to the “MT-Blacklist”:http://www.jayallen.org/journey/2003/10/mtblacklist_version_15_released plugin. When I do get any in the future, phear me spammers.
N-Gage Hacked Comments Off
Hahahaha! Please let me laugh out loud. The “N-Gage has been hacked”:http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2003/11/11/groups_says_nga.php i.e. games made exclusively for the system can be played on other mobile phones. I think the “screenshots speak for themselves”:http://www.club-siemens.net/preview/ngage/. Game Over.
Sony And Their Game Boy Comments Off
Sony is entering the handheld gaming market with their PlayStation Portable (PSP) in late 2004. The machine is looking really good so far and may be something I’d actually buy to replace my GBA SP. Unlike Nokia, Sony is going to have excellent launch games for the new system just like they’ve had in the [...]
N-Gage Sells Poorly 1
I’ve “already discussed”:http://www.snapturtle.com/archives/2003/10/20/19.14.35/ that the N-Gage is destined for the trash bin, but an “article from Wired confirms this”:http://www.wired.com/news/games/0,2101,61117,00.html and it should for everyone else. My favorite part is the often mentioned uber multiplayer functionality that doesn’t even exist yet. bq. The company is also touting the device’s multiplayer-gaming capabilities, although those do not yet [...]
The Gaming Holidays Comments Off
There are a ton of new games shipping in the next 2 months before the Christmas season. Programmers around the globe are working long hours and sleeping in their cubes, “some passing out”:http://www.bungie.net/perlbin/blam.pl?file=/site/0/news/news_detail.html&id=FC5C6C81-A165-4139-943A-99E72590F3D5 just to finish their games before the big season comes. What’s the cream of the crop that you and I both got [...]
Stuff It 1
When I first “read this article”:http://news.com.com/2100-1045_3-5103279.html I had to check my calendar. I wasn’t sure if I’d woken up from a coma on April 1st as Apple publicly told Microsoft and Intel to stuff it, indirectly of course. Apple on switching to Intel… bq. “Right now we don’t see a compelling need to switch processor [...]
Free Songs On Bad Food Comments Off
Apple announced last month that they would be giving away a free one hundred million songs through a deal with Pepsi. Buy a Pepsi, get a 1 in 3 chance of winning a free song. Sounds cool right? I’d love to get free music but I don’t drink Pepsi. According to a “NY Post article”:http://www.nypost.com/business/10067.htm, [...]
Bluejacking Comments Off
Have you gotten a new phone recently? Did it come with Bluetooth? If you don’t know, your probably going to get bluejacked at some point in the future. Bluejacking is the “new spam of mobile phones”:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3237755.stm. The Bluetooth technology inside your pretty new phone allows someone to send you messages if you don’t secure your [...]
