Dennis Freemantle, director of the Human Interface Design group within the Cupertino company, explained in detail the processes that involve the oxygen and carbon dioxide [...]

You can’t deny the mega-stardom of Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is predictable, unpretentious, and cheesy. He’s also governor of California and pretty classy, overall. Here’s a walk down memory lane with notables and groaners. Warning: Not all that safe for work… 0 | Like This Post

Iranian Ayatollah lapdog and presidential facade, Mahmoud Ahmadinjad, was allowed to see hit movie Avatar in 3D. The movie’s distributor, Twientieth Century Fox, supplied the governmental figurehead’s entourage with special 3D glasses and talked them into wearing them for a photo op (see at right). Moviegoers sitting nearby, were unnerved by Ahmadinjad’s barely-containable giddy behavior [...]

Given it’s a phone-less version of the iPhone, I know why that device is so popular and gets rave reviews from even non-Mac users. I’ve always wanted a shared calendar resource in the cloud that my wife and I could jointly manage [...]
Okay, I’ve decided to partake in some Cupertino Kool-Aid by buying an iPod touch (3rd Gen) for my wife. It arrived from Amazon on Monday, and she accidentally opened it on arrival thinking it was something she had ordered. There went my Christmas surprise for her! Software Anyway, my biggest anxiety about taking the iPod [...]

I really can’t believe I haven’t blogged or blabbed about Michael W. Smith’s album entitled Christmas. I’ve owned it on CD for years, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s December or June, the album is an uplifting experience. What it’s not: Syrupy renditions of the old stand-bys. Smith isn’t going for a Perry Como knock-off. [...]
In the pursuit of the holy grail of Nerd-dom, Microsoft has sponsored house parties (with Windows 7 napkins, party streamers, and third-party promotional materials) to promote the upcoming release of Windows 7. And if that wasn’t bad enough, Microsoft commissioned a horrible video to give you pointers on how to throw your very own Windows [...]
