Round up all the web geeks and pelt them with pebbles

January 12, 2009

I just spent the last hour of my life fighting with some CSS that works perfectly in Safari and MESI 7.0, but not in MSIE 6.0 or the “standards compliant” Firefox whatever version it is now. Since I am working pre-coffee, pre-office hours from a laptop on my kitchen table, I don’t have the luxury [...]

January 2, 2009

Apparently, a Microsoft Zune model couldn’t do the leap year calculation for 2008 and ending up freezing for it’s owners yesterday. In the WSJ, they reported that “… Zune owners flooded blogs and Internet chat sites to complain they couldn’t listen to music…”

Warm humanity in technology

November 21, 2008

About a year ago, I found The Browns on Amazon.com in a random search prompted by the memory of “I heard the bluebird sing” from my puppyhood. I bought the album and couldn’t wait to play it.

Google phone with T-Mobile.. Seriously??

September 24, 2008

Google unveiled the G1 phone today. Ok, that is good, but what is with these top tier companies like Apple and Google partnering up with crappy service providers like AT&T and T-Mobile?
The devices may be cool, but if there is no network attached to them or it takes minutes to send and read simple [...]

Upgrade is really a downgrade

May 16, 2008

This was supposed to be a post on Obamamania, but I “upgraded” to Leopard last night and now I can’t include an images in the posts, etc using Safari 3.0.4.
