“For the wise man looks into space and he knows there is no limited dimensions.” – Lao Tzu Chinese Philosopher 600-531 BC
I had to invest in some much needed external storage this week. My magnum opus was sucking up all my available disk space. That and lots of accumulated kipple that I’ve downloaded from the darkest reaches of the internet. And no, not all of it is porn. Gareth, on the other hand, was particularly stoked by the Google search app for his iPhone. Every week its iPhone this, iPhone that, I’m sure he only does it to make me jealous.
Its working okay, you can stop now….
Then it was on to these….
Google to launch Chrome OS – Open source and free. How will the established players adapt. Will it decimate the various Linux distros. Will it edge out Mac OS X. Or will it bite a big chunk out of MS’ ass. Personally, I’m hoping for the later.
Macbook Pro’s hard drive ‘a touch too noisy’ – Is the hard drive on your new MB pro clicking or squeaking. It’s possible, if you’ve upgraded to a 7200 rpm drive. What you’ve got a new upgraded MB pro, and I’m supposed to feel sorry for you?
European publishers want to control online news access – Are you stuck with an out-moded and old fashioned business model. Unable to move on like the music and movie industries. You too can carry on milking consumers. All you need, is new and improved, draconian legislation. ‘Nuff said!
Palm Pre ‘jailbroken’ and running on Verizon – Calls only so far, no data yet. But its inevitable. But, by the time its working properly, you’ll be able to buy one at a Verizon store.
Farewell CompuServe! – You connected us in baud. You opened up the information superhighway, when it was just a leafy footpath. And to be honest, I thought you had died years ago.
The last phone booths in New York – Its a show for memories this week. The last few phone booths in Manhatten. They’re disappearing at a pace over here, as well. Ah, the smell of urine, the vandalism, and the fruitless hunting for the right change. We’ll miss you phone booths.
Finally Happy Birthday app store. Forever changing the mobile market one app at a time!
