Have I told you lately that I love you?

You make me happy, you keep me safe, you look so hot and sleek. I just adore you! I’m, uh, talking about my computer. More specifically, my operating system, Mac OSX Leopard. Yes, I know it’s been out for close to a year now and everyone else has already gotten over that first flush of [...]

Can you stand one more iPhone article?

I think the folks over at Buzz Out Loud nailed it with today’s show title – “iPhone hangover day”. I was so, so thankful for the non-tech podcasts I had lined up today. I did listen to more than my fair share of iPhone news before I switched over to “Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!” – [...]

OK, fine…

If I stumbled across two thousand guilt-free dollars, I’d get a MacBook Air.  I still say I don’t need it, but damn…it’s pretty. Except for that one thing, I am so done with Macworld coverage.  Seriously.  Unless you’re there, what is there to report after the keynote?  I say one big bang opening day, a [...]

Keynote thoughts

Well, it’s nice to know that my national tech debt will not be increasing.  Not that there wasn’t some great stuff rolled out at Macworld, but there was nothing that came forward as a must-have item for me. The MacBook Air is a beautiful machine, no doubt.  Weighing in at three pounds, the specs put [...]
