After countless hours of reading though, the rage within me has reached the spilling level. I read nearly every Mac website I can find (via RSS). I can give non-Mac news sources a pass on this, but the rest of you should hang your heads in shame.</p> <p>Macworld, as in Macworld Magazine and Macworld Expo, is spelled as I have it. Macworld Expo is like Mecca, but for Mac users. It&#8217;s the ultimate event in the Mac universe. Given that fact, why is it so god damned hard to spell it right?</p> <p>I&#8217;ve noticed two groups are the worst offenders, or at least get under my skin the most: vendors sending out promotional emails and Mac news outlets and blogs. The two most common misspellings are MacWorld and Mac World. Let me tell you something guys, it&#8217;s your responsibility to at least be able to spell the name of the event.</p> <p>The news sites/blogs are the worst because they act as authoritative sources about Mac culture and information. How am I supposed to take your predictions and prognostications seriously when you don&#8217;t even spell it right. No matter how hard I try to displace my thoughts, all those articles end up looking like:</p> <blockquote> <p>At teh MacWorld expo I preedict the AWEsome iPhone!!11!!!!!11!!</p> </blockquote> <p>So please, I beg of the Mac community: spell it right. Don&#8217;t look like an idiot. Don&#8217;t make us all look like idiots.</p> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=azpKNG27"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=azpKNG27" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=trPnvU11"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=trPnvU11" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=39bIH6cS"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=39bIH6cS" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=Zj3mOCV3"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=Zj3mOCV3" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=KbjmFudc"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=KbjmFudc" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=NAWFpck0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=NAWFpck0" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=Vj2GjjvN"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=Vj2GjjvN" border="0" /></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/d00dism/~4/70996989" /> Fri, 05 Jan 2007 04:09:12 +0000 http://digg.com/apple/Brian_Ball_of_macZOT_screws_developer_out_of_5_520 http://digg.com/apple/Brian_Ball_of_macZOT_screws_developer_out_of_5_520 Brian Ball agreed to pay $5,520 for xPad by Garrett Murray - after one month in, he stopped paying, ceased all communication, and found a loophole to get out of his end of the contract.

There&#8217;s a very good reason for this. It groups things into discussions beautifully. I also subscribe to several mailing lists that reside on the same server. For example, I subscribe to BBEdit Talk and Yojimbo Talk, both of which are run by Bare Bones (shocking, considering they develop them).</p> <p>They don&#8217;t have a domain that&#8217;s dedicated to mailing lists, so the addresses are productname-talk@barebones.com. I&#8217;m also a compulsive filer, so I apply labels to these messages for quick manipulation. One label is &#8220;mailing lists&#8221;. Rather than map email &#8220;To:&#8221; each of these email addresses, I&#8217;ve been using the fact that filters work on a contains instead of match basis to simplify. For the longest time a filter that looked for &#8220;To: talk@barebones.com&#8221; worked perfectly. It&#8217;s suddenly stopped working. It&#8217;s now an exact match.</p> <blockquote> <p>Dear Google,</p> <p>Don&#8217;t change filter behavior without notifying your users and giving them an alternative method to attain the same functionality.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Derik</p> </blockquote> <p>Here&#8217;s the wacky part. If you filter based upon an email string with nothing preceding the at sign, such as &#8220;@barebones.com&#8221;, the filter becomes a contain based filter. Ugh. Say it with me: <strong>inconsistent</strong>.</p> <p>I was willing to cut Google some slack with their filters and the fact that it can&#8217;t filter based on arbitrary headers (like the list headers that most mailing lists slap on for easy filtering). It&#8217;s annoying, but something I could live with. Now the filters are essentially useless. Why? It&#8217;s not hard to implement powerful, flexible filters. As accurate and fast as their search is, I still want to organize my email to help prune. It makes the results more manageable. It&#8217;s almost as if Google is intentionally trying make its filters impotent to the point that users have to stop using it, at which point, Google can axe it completely.</p> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=NEVsseRX"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=NEVsseRX" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=NoE0byBV"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=NoE0byBV" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=zOukmcku"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=zOukmcku" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=ViwkEQuq"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=ViwkEQuq" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=EH7mfp5M"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=EH7mfp5M" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=1bsaVktj"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=1bsaVktj" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=6rwL0cJ4"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=6rwL0cJ4" border="0" /></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/d00dism/~4/55580377" /> Wed, 29 Nov 2006 17:10:32 +0000 http://digg.com/apple/Today_Show_story_about_the_Zune_A_little_biased http://digg.com/apple/Today_Show_story_about_the_Zune_A_little_biased Watch this collection of the coverage of the Zune that the Today Show broadcast.

Wed, 27 Sep 2006 17:02:28 +0000 http://godlikenerd.com/weblog/2006/09/23/a-visit-from-the-cable-guy/ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/d00dism/~3/26230819/ <p>While I&#8217;m going on and on about utility companies (because let&#8217;s face it, Verizon and Comcast are rapidly becoming nearly the same), how about I write up the experience I just had.</p> <p>I don&#8217;t normally expect visitors on a Saturday unannounced. Further, I don&#8217;t get packages. When I got to my front door, it was a Comcast employee. He warmed up by asking if I had Verizon home phone service. Well, seeing as I don&#8217;t like getting taken advantage of, the answer is no. He then asked me if I had a home phone. It&#8217;s clear where he was going, so I played along. Yes, I have internet phone service (Vonage in particular). He guessed that it was Vonage.</p> <p>He then told me that Comcast offered the same service, but with better quality. That could be, but I haven&#8217;t had any issues. He then told me that Vonage uses their pipes (that&#8217;s not a quote, I don&#8217;t remember the exact phrasing) and that they allowed that, but they could shut them off at any time. For $8/month more than what I&#8217;m currently paying, I&#8217;d get a phone line through them and I&#8217;d get digital cable with a free year of Starz and HBO.</p> <p>If I dropped Vonage, I would save money. However, I like the portability of being able to bring my box anywhere with me. When I go to Macworld Expo in San Francisco next year, being able to bring my phone with me will be a big bonus. Plus, I plan on spending a good amount of time at my parents&#8217; fancy new house in Maine. I can&#8217;t do that with Comcast.</p> <p>I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re brain is bubbling, or you may be even screaming. Why haven&#8217;t I said anything about Comcast basically telling me that they could shut off Vonage whenever they want? Well, that&#8217;s because I wanted to get the other stuff out of the way first.</p> <p>Pay attention boys and girls: this is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality">Net Neutrality</a> hitting home. Comcast threatened to degrade my independent internet phone service to the point of being shutoff in order to promote their own service. That internet connection they supply is for my use and what I choose to do with it is my business. If I want to use Vonage, I can use Vonage. The day they lock me out of it is the day they lose me as a customer. It&#8217;s unacceptable.</p> <p>However, I think it&#8217;s all bark. The real question is do I want to pay $8 for an extra phone line, digital cable, and some premium channels. I think I might.</p> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=zLQgrWkK"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=zLQgrWkK" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=IjHI9b56"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=IjHI9b56" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=naI7OuFX"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=naI7OuFX" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=UZ00Dy0Z"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=UZ00Dy0Z" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=gLsmPuih"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=gLsmPuih" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=PREc0Xb2"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=PREc0Xb2" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=dG335G5J"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=dG335G5J" border="0" /></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/d00dism/~4/26230819" /> Sat, 23 Sep 2006 17:36:49 +0000 http://digg.com/movies/I_m_A_Mac_Guy_Justin_Long_to_Co_Star_in_Fourth_Die_Hard_Film http://digg.com/movies/I_m_A_Mac_Guy_Justin_Long_to_Co_Star_in_Fourth_Die_Hard_Film Justin Long and Maggie Q are coming aboard "Live Free or Die Hard," 20th Century Fox's fourth installment of the "Die Hard" series.

My Comcast cable access is 8 Mbps for $52.95. Verizon sends me advertisements in the mail multiple times per week advertising their fiber internet service.</p> <p>Given, it&#8217;s lumped in with those mass mailers that clog my mailbox, but it&#8217;s getting sent directly to my house. They proclaim in big proud letters:</p> <blockquote> <p>The limitless fiber-optic power of Verizon FiOS Internet is now here.</p> </blockquote> <p>Am I interested? You bet. Inevitably, their address checker proclaims me ineligible. After getting the 20th advertisement, I decided I wanted to find out why Verizon was taunting me. I got back this response:</p> <blockquote> <p>Thank you for contacting the Verizon eCenter. My name is [deleted], and I will be handling your request today.</p> <p>This message is in response to your email dated September 20, 2006. You inquired about receiving advertisements for FiOS through the mail. I understand your concern and I will be happy to assist you. </p> <p>I apologize for any misunderstanding. Unfortunately, we do not have the capability of pre-qualifying all of our customers lines for FiOS service before sending out the advertisements for our products and services. Our advertisements include the disclaimer that states that Verizon FiOS/DSL Internet Service is provided by Verizon Online and is not available in all areas. Service availability is subject to final confirmation by Verizon. </p> <p>At this time we do not have a date when FiOS will be available.</p> <p>Verizon continues to work to provide FiOS access to as many customers as possible. So, while you may not qualify for high-speed Internet access from Verizon today, it is possible that you could be able to receive it in the future as the technologies improve.</p> <p>If you haven&#8217;t already done so, you may check the availability of Verizon Fios any time you wish at:</p> <pre><code> http://www.verizon.net/fios </code></pre> <p>Simply enter your telephone number in the space provided. If FiOS is not available, you will have the option of requesting an email notification when it is available.</p> <p>It has been my goal today to address and clarify your concerns related to Fios service availability. I hope I have succeeded in meeting that goal. In the meantime, if you have any other questions, please let us know. We look forward to serving you.</p> <p>Thank you for using Verizon. We appreciate your business.</p> </blockquote> <p>Pleasant enough, so I can&#8217;t fault them for that. However, the line &#8220;Unfortunately, we do not have the capability of pre-qualifying all of our customers lines for FiOS service before sending out the advertisements for our products and services.&#8221; is bunk. They can automatically supply that information using the database linked to their website.</p> <p>Naturally, perhaps the advertising company they&#8217;ve hired just blankets areas, but that&#8217;s a problem they are completely in control of. They could market more accurately.</p> <p>Could I just ignore it? Sure, but the fact is that very rarely am I interested in things I get in the mail. The one time I&#8217;m interested in buying the product I get jerked around. Bah.</p> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=MEXK57Mo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=MEXK57Mo" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=OMvDv1sP"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=OMvDv1sP" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=tvL7XAJV"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=tvL7XAJV" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=YOnN6YYA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=YOnN6YYA" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=kMwM0VCm"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=kMwM0VCm" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=ETjJNEW7"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=ETjJNEW7" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=MgiwzOus"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=MgiwzOus" border="0" /></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/d00dism/~4/26042317" /> Sat, 23 Sep 2006 06:02:46 +0000 http://d00d.tadalist.com/lists/show/45750#1219270 http://d00d.tadalist.com/lists/show/45750#1219270 On Shopping Tue, 05 Sep 2006 06:14:44 +0000 http://d00d.tadalist.com/lists/show/45750#605798 http://d00d.tadalist.com/lists/show/45750#605798 On Shopping Tue, 05 Sep 2006 06:14:43 +0000 http://godlikenerd.com/weblog/2006/08/26/football-time-again/ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/d00dism/~3/16559918/ <p>All right guys, Fall is fast approaching and you know what that means.

However, I quickly found out that not only was the mortgage manageable, but I could pay my father back aggressively.</p><p>I think that if you can pull it off, paying more will get you a place you&#8217;ll be happy with far more and in the long run, you won&#8217;t regret it at all.</p> Thu, 03 Aug 2006 18:07:43 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/ddelong#1154389544 http://www.last.fm/music/Nickelback/_/Do+This+Anymore http://www.last.fm/music/Nickelback Mon, 31 Jul 2006 23:45:44 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/ddelong#1154389341 http://www.last.fm/music/Zac+Maloy/_/Life http://www.last.fm/music/Zac+Maloy Mon, 31 Jul 2006 23:42:21 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/ddelong#1154389062 http://www.last.fm/music/The+Nixons/_/Don%27t+Cry http://www.last.fm/music/The+Nixons Mon, 31 Jul 2006 23:37:42 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/ddelong#1154387162 http://www.last.fm/music/%E8%8F%85%E9%87%8E%E3%82%88%E3%81%86%E5%AD%90/_/What+Planet+is+This http://www.last.fm/music/%E8%8F%85%E9%87%8E%E3%82%88%E3%81%86%E5%AD%90 Mon, 31 Jul 2006 23:06:02 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/ddelong#1154386894 http://www.last.fm/music/%E8%8F%85%E9%87%8E%E3%82%88%E3%81%86%E5%AD%90/_/COSMIC+DARE+%28PRETTY+WITH+A+PISTOL%29 http://www.last.fm/music/%E8%8F%85%E9%87%8E%E3%82%88%E3%81%86%E5%AD%90 Mon, 31 Jul 2006 23:01:34 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/ddelong#1154384614 http://www.last.fm/music/%E8%8F%85%E9%87%8E%E3%82%88%E3%81%86%E5%AD%90/_/Diggin%27 http://www.last.fm/music/%E8%8F%85%E9%87%8E%E3%82%88%E3%81%86%E5%AD%90 Mon, 31 Jul 2006 22:23:34 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/ddelong#1154384386 http://www.last.fm/music/Nickelback/_/Figured+You+Out http://www.last.fm/music/Nickelback Mon, 31 Jul 2006 22:19:46 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/ddelong#1154384094 http://www.last.fm/music/%E8%8F%85%E9%87%8E%E3%82%88%E3%81%86%E5%AD%90/_/Ask+DNA http://www.last.fm/music/%E8%8F%85%E9%87%8E%E3%82%88%E3%81%86%E5%AD%90 Mon, 31 Jul 2006 22:14:54 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/ddelong#1154383886 http://www.last.fm/music/Nickelback/_/Someday http://www.last.fm/music/Nickelback Mon, 31 Jul 2006 22:11:26 +0000 http://godlikenerd.com/weblog/2006/07/23/interview-with-the-metrowest-daily-news/ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/d00dism/~3/http%3A%2F%2Fgodlikenerd.com%2Fweblog%2F2006%2F07%2F23%2Finterview-with-the-metrowest-daily-news%2F <p>Despite my sporadic blogging here lately, I got chosen to be interviewed with a local newspaper, <a href="http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/">the MetroWest Daily News</a>, for an article in their Sunday edition today. I haven&#8217;t seen the finished product, but we talked about blogging, professional blogging, journalistic integrity, and a blog&#8217;s effect upon your job and career in general.</p> <p>Hopefully I&#8217;ll come across as insightful. I&#8217;ll try to post the link once it appears on the website.</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong> <a href="http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/businessNews/view.bg?articleid=136067">The article is up.</a> The print version lacked my picture. I don&#8217;t know why, but I&#8217;ll suggest it&#8217;s because I&#8217;m so attractive.</p> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=TmtyArqE"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=TmtyArqE" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=stQZ2YR2"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=stQZ2YR2" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=8HEWsx1C"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=8HEWsx1C" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=X2Oe5GoE"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=X2Oe5GoE" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=wpVnZfCN"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=wpVnZfCN" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=ZNB5WOGb"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=ZNB5WOGb" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=8eIyuqIB"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=8eIyuqIB" border="0" /></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/d00dism/~4/4601616" /> Sun, 23 Jul 2006 18:10:53 +0000 http://godlikenerd.com/weblog/2006/07/01/greatly-exaggerated/ http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/d00dism/~3/76603617/ <p>Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. I&#8217;d figure out who said it first, but that would mean I have time to. Here&#8217;s a quick rundown of everything that&#8217;s been keeping me busy.</p> <h3>The Day Job</h3> <p>I&#8217;ve been involved in a task that&#8217;s rather new to me, high pressure, and interesting. Overall I&#8217;m enjoying it, but it&#8217;s still soaking up my free time.</p> <h3>Softball to the Face</h3> <p>I managed to take a softball to the face 2.5 weeks ago. I was wearing my glasses and as a result, I managed to shift my nose over. I didn&#8217;t feel any pain and the initial swelling hid the fact that my nose became crooked. I had a nose bleed, but it went away quickly, so I didn&#8217;t get it looked at immediately.</p> <p>Once I found out if it was fractured, I signed up for surgery I underwent Wednesday. My phobia of needles nearly made me faint as they put in the IV. Luckily, I didn&#8217;t and moments after they started pumping drugs into me, I was out. They straightened my nose and now I&#8217;m in a good deal of pain. I went to work Thursday, which was a total mistake, but the new task was acting rather needy. Luckily, my real coworkers could tell I wasn&#8217;t doing well and told me to go home.</p> <p>I&#8217;m taking this week off, so I should be normal again by the time I go to work.</p> <h3>MacUser, Gadgetbox, and iPod Case Reviews</h3> <p><a href="http://www.macuser.com">MacUser</a>, <a href="http://gadgets.macworld.com">Gadgetbox</a>, and iPod case reviews for <a href="http://www.playlistmag.com">Playlist Mag</a> are fast becoming more than a part time job.</p> <p>After blogging on the former two sites, it&#8217;s usually just too late for me to do it here. I miss it. I have a bit more freedom here and I&#8217;m not really obligated to find a picture to go with my posts, which takes up a surprising amount of time.</p> <h3>Nintendo DS Lite</h3> <p>I bought a Nintendo DS Lite and I love it. I got the New Super Mario Brothers, Mario Kart DS, Brain Age, and Zelda: the Minnish Cap. If you have Mario Kart DS, let me know. I want to play you.</p> <h3>The Future</h3> <p>I want to resume normal posting, but it&#8217;s all time dependent. I get a surprising number of compliments from people that I contact for MacUser on this site and it&#8217;s made me realize that I was building a readership that&#8217;s likely rather disappointed I went on such a long hiatus. It&#8217;s time I returned.</p> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=R6n8ZBz4"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=R6n8ZBz4" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=sSzAn0Zy"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=sSzAn0Zy" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=oAvlmBrg"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=oAvlmBrg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=DWqwl8eF"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=DWqwl8eF" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=wO2pSa2S"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=wO2pSa2S" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=7bKGXTUc"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=7bKGXTUc" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=q3cOrDHz"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=q3cOrDHz" border="0" /></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/d00dism/~4/76603617" /> Sat, 01 Jul 2006 23:04:35 +0000 http://morale.erikbenson.com/person/d00d/report/2946 http://morale.erikbenson.com/person/d00d/report/2946 <style> #vertgraph2946 { width: 378px;

It&#8217;s a bit of a surprise, but I suspect it was done so that users choosing to run Windows can do so in a safer manner with proper drivers. The drivers included with the new software are the key part of this announcement.</p> <p>Hacking the firmware to coerce a Mac into booting Windows took a little while, but it wasn&#8217;t really all that complicated. However, putting money into a development staff for Windows drivers is quite an expensive proposition and it goes to show Apple&#8217;s commitment to leverage the move to x86 to their full benefit. They can easily scoop up fence sitters that afraid of losing the ability to run Windows.</p> <p>It&#8217;s a bold move and I&#8217;m a fan.</p> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=t571dbFc"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=t571dbFc" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=bxqgx5MZ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=bxqgx5MZ" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=oB1pJLdL"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=oB1pJLdL" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=We0DgRX8"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=We0DgRX8" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=e0pzscyb"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=e0pzscyb" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=GBM0A68s"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=GBM0A68s" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?a=zKdPMywH"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/d00dism?i=zKdPMywH" border="0" /></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/d00dism/~4/76644965" /> Thu, 06 Apr 2006 03:30:53 +0000 http://dictionary.reference.com/wordoftheday/archive/2006/04/05.html http://dictionary.reference.com/wordoftheday/archive/2006/04/05.html Hilarious!!
