I complained about Vista’s auto-tuning feature and my experience […]

Windows Vista won’t get newsgroup list from news.microsoft.com

Unsettling as the loss of a laptop is – with plenty of other data, I also lost my “database” of over 7000 posts to Microsoft Exchange public newsgroups :( – it is even more unsettling to use a temporary laptop that’s running a new operating system – Windows Vista. Don’t get me wrong – I […]

Just came across Novell’s Meet Linux ads – the worst ever spoof of Apple’s brilliant “Hi I’m a Mac… ” commercials. The production quality is poor, and the execution amateurish, imo. These look more like a a clip on YouTube put together by a bunch of teenagers with a camcorder, (and it probably is for […]

John Dvorak: Apple should pull the plug on the iPhone

John Dvorak on the iPhone in his Second Opinion column titled “Apple should pull the plug on the iPhone”: These phones go in and out of style so fast that unless Apple has half a dozen variants in the pipeline, its phone, even if immediately successful, will be passé within 3 months. Interesting and opinionated, […]
