Sure, it starts as things about Macs or even Apple in general, but who knows where the conversation goes once it is started?PhillyMachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01479117700460550973noreply@blogger.comBlogger91100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7562685.post-1104547405014092532004-12-31T18:41:00.000-08:002006-11-05T04:48:01.845-08:00

Oh please. Be serious. Let's get this straight now. I don't care what MacCentral says and what Napster tries to say, people don't like having to rent all their music. It won't replace people owning music. Period. Why do I say that? Because I'm an intelligent and reasonable human being. READ: I'm not STUPID! No, this isn't a rant, it isn't an unreasoned diatribe. What it is, is a well

Yup, for sure it's true. And, while technically it was iTunes that led teh way to the PC, iPhoto is going to be the next statment that Apple makes for PC users in the quest to become the software media king. Don't know what I'm talking about? Refresher... two posts ago I talked about how Steve Jobs was planning on making iLife the MS Office of the digital media hub. iPhoto to the PC is the

Don't believe it? I've got proof for you. Just remember - you heard it here first! First: Let's start at the right (the picture) shall we? You'll notice that Bono uses copious amounts of purple for the Vertigo video. Great color, I'll admit. But, isn't that a very Barney color? Come on, admit it! But wait, that isn't all. Seriously, do you think I'd really get away with a theory like

Remember - you heard it here first. The key was something that Steve Jobs said when they introduced Garage Band - iLife is like Microsoft Office for the rest of your life. And that is what Apple wants. As much as Jobs loves hardware - I think he's seen that the Dark Tower in Redmond has made it's gazillions not by being a hardware maker - but a software maker. And yes, MS makes money from

So, you're wondering what the big deal is? Well, aside from all manufacturing moving to China (as opposed to most of it which is already there) the *big* news is that IBM is getting out of a division that has 11.5 billion in sales but still manages to loose several hundred million every year. They're smart, they're tired of fighting Dell and HP. So, what does this mean? Well, IBM's CEO has

Geesh, Every time I come here I feel like I'm cross posting with my other Blog (http://www.VirusMafia.com) so I don't post, but this time I couldn't resist. After all, here I can be really smarmy whereas on my other site I have to at least maintain some semblence (sp?) of propriety and decorum. Not here. PCs suck. :-) I just got done reviewing the new holes and attacks happening even in XP

Seriously - people (including my alegely genius brother) can't figure out why I switched. This is as he's complaining because his Windows 98 (at least it is SE) system crashes and causes him so much trouble. He's so annoyed - but he won't even upgrade to XP. Actually - I don't really begrudge him that - I didn't want to upgrade to XP either because of the insane EULA. Anyway, I was just

But you know, it isn't just all about Macs - OK, maybe it really is. But it's also about taking your life back and having some fun! In fact, I anticipate that this blog will be humourous - after all if I talk about PCs at all the slap stick comedy should virtually roll of my keyboard.
