Yesterday, I wrote about how I’d shifted from my Macbook to Windows 7. Today, my Sony laptop stopped working. No joke. I’m sorry, Steve Jobs, I repent. I’m back on my MacBook now. Please spare me any further wrath. My Windows 7 laptop is a Sony Vaio that I’ve had for nearly three years. As I [...]

Back in December, I debated whether I should dump the Mac. As circumstances would have it, Apple itself kind of tipped me over to Windows 7, which I’m currently using. Whether I’ll go back to my MacBook remains to be seen. So far, Windows 7 is pretty compelling. Apple’s first mistake in pushing me away was [...]

I’ve been a Mac user for nearly two years now. I’m seriously debating going back to Windows. Part of me doesn’t want to, feeling like I should make the jump entirely away. But a variety of reasons are making Windows appealing again, including cost, multi-monitor support and removable batteries. I used to run a Windows desktop [...]

I’m leaving Windows further and further behind. First I went to the Macbook Pro. Then I moved my wife to a Macbook in March. Then when that crashed this week, I went Linux — in the small form of an Asus Eee PC. It’s an amazing computer. Windows what? Who needs that? A bad inverter cable (or so the Mac [...]

Over the years, I’ve had a number of conversations with friends concerned about how disposable (and wasteful) technology has become.

But coming back from a trip and finding my recently repaired Dell desktop failing to boot as has [...]

With my desktop out of action, I’m currently on my new MacBook Pro as I’ve written, making use of its internal screen to run things on the Mac side and one of my external screens to run Windows apps. It annoys me that my two other monitors as you can see [...]

Loving the new Macbook Pro. Simply loving it. OK, there are a lot of things I really dislike (no task bar, stupid keyboard shortcuts). I’ll get back to those later. But someone told me that the Mac is one of the best ways to run Windows XP, and they were totally [...]

Who knew that I would buy a Mac before finishing my yet-to-come “25 Reasons I Hate Apple” list. Yes, if hell is freezing over — if dogs and cats are playing together — if blackhat and whitehat SEOs are holding hands, perhaps I shifted the universe with my purchase. Here’s the deal. [...]

I was thinking about the $100 laptop project this morning, then amazingly there was news about it today, on how you can buy two with one to give away to those in need. The laptop is still priced above $100, there there’s no need to wait for that price to come down. Want to get a [...]
