Apple Announces Time Capsule Home Server for Macs

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 01/16/2008
FIrst, this isn't a "home server" as the story says. It's a NAS device. Big deal. Second, for those of you that mentioned the Iomega device of the same price, remember that the Iomega device offers RAID 0, 1, and 5. Time Capsule offers.... one drive. That … (see comment)

Cops shoots daughter who tried to sneak out for the night

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 05/31/2007
The "cops" didn't shoot this girl... her dad did. If her dad had been a baker, would the title have been "Bakers shoot daughter who tried to sneak out for the night"? More importantly, would this story have been dugg so many times if the father had been a … (see comment)

Adobe Flex Goes Open Source

Comment in News (10 diggs, 0 replies) - on 04/26/2007
@tamrix: Making it open source will go a long way towards making it the standard. From the conversations I've had on- and off-line with other people, the fear of getting locked into a proprietary technology was a huge concern for developers. With this ann … (see comment)

G4 evacuated after bomb threat

Comment in News (18 diggs, 3 replies) - on 04/19/2007
To those of you saying you're glad someone did a bomb threat: G4 may be (OK, it IS) a crappy network, but bomb threats are never funny (except in Boston). (see comment)

Sony gives 46" HDTV to everyone in PlayStation 3 line in London!

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 03/23/2007
It really is a different situation though. Nintendo's Wii is wildly popular. More than four months after its launch, it is STILL difficult to find. The PS3 is tanking right now, and this move IS desperation. Think of it this way: Nintendo is the cool pers … (see comment)

Super Bowl ads fumble, brain scans show

Comment in News (16 diggs, 2 replies) - on 02/05/2007
The GoDaddy one sucked.. I was really disappointed in it. Yeah it had plenty of eye candy, but it wasn't at all original. Hope they will be better next year. (see comment)

Dvorak Predicts A Look Back at 1994

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 01/16/2007
Well I figured that since it sells for $0.40 on Amazon, and it's a book about predictions that will happen in the mid-90s there wouldn't be a big legal problem. If I get a S&D from Dvorak I'll take it down, but I doubt that will happen. At the very least … (see comment)

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 01/15/2007
I was inspired by your request to make a blog post about one of John C. Dvorak's books. I've only done one chapter so far, but he had a 50% success rate with his predictions. http://www.digg.com/tech_news/Dvorak_Predicts_A_Look_Back_at_1994 … (see comment)

John C Dvorak : “iPhone Unlikely to be Big Success”

Comment in News (65 diggs, 0 replies) - on 01/14/2007
I think Apple has tried to make it a little *too* exclusive. There are *tons* of people--even hardcore Mac fans--whose hearts dropped when Jobs said it would be Cingular only. The price, considering the price of other smart phones, is still really high. A … (see comment)

Bush hits new low in polls

Comment in News (10 diggs, 0 replies) - on 01/11/2007
@glock22ownr: I know several people in the military, and I can tell you they don't do it for the money. They get paid very little regardless of who is in office. The people that I know in the military voted for Bush because they legitimately believed h … (see comment)

High School Drop Out Rate Reaches Epidemic Levels

Comment in News (19 diggs, 2 replies) - on 11/21/2006
This is my favorite quote from the article: "Sheriff Jerry Brogdon of Berrien County, Ga., sees those consequences every day at the Berrien County Jailhouse. He said that '81.2 percent of the inmates we have in here today is high school dropouts.'" (see comment)

The same thing happened at my university. Some student group's secretary put the email addresses of EVERY student and professor in the "To:" field instead of sending it to the generic "Students and Professors" forwarder. (see comment)

The 7 deadly sins of resumé design

Comment in News (3 diggs, 1 reply) - on 09/26/2006
I've been forced to take a couple resume/job skills courses over the past few years, and each class contradicted the other. I don't trust anyone who tells me what my resume should look like. It I have the skills and attitude the employer is looking for, I … (see comment)

What's this guy's problem? He complains about everything, even things Microsoft can't be held accountable for, such as 3rd party programs/drivers. XP has some problems, but overall I think it's a really solid OS. I have not had a significant problem with … (see comment)
