Quiznos Capitulates, Will Disclose Nutritional Info
Yes, food science and technology is fair game here… it’s kinda a bit more important to your health than having the latest cell phone. Years ago, I stopped eating at Quiznos. No, I wasn’t seeing the pounds get put on, but I became (more) health conscious, and started reading nutritional facts on what was going [...]

Coupons for Black Friday
One of the things I admit, I haven’t taken advantage of, is coupons on the day of Black Friday. Now, on most years, you aren’t missing out on much… retailers have suspended coupons (or set the to expire before) Black Friday. Not this year… there are many coupons that are live that you should take [...]
Wal-Mart’s Black Friday Ad
I’m posting the Wal-Mart Black Friday ad. CNN has started posting some of the deals from the ad, and despite Wal-Mart previously threatening some web sites… they appear to have changed their tune after receiving a lot of complaints about the anti-first-amendment policy. Note: I’m far from a Wal-Mart basher, actually, I’m a shareholder… they [...]
Where Have All the EDTVs Gone?
With all the Black Friday deals now seven days (plus a few hours) and counting… I’ve had another letdown… not one retailer is pushing an EDTV. Now, you might think I’m crazy for wanting an EDTV when HDTVs are so cheap, but there are a few reasons. For those that don’t know, EDTV represents TVs [...]
Second-Gen Zune 30 Can’t do Component
If you were thinking about buying a Zune 30 (now that it has second-generation firmware), Microsoft has put in very tiny print that you won’t be able to use component video-out with it. Only the Zune 80 can use component video… despite both using the same second-generation dock.Here’s the straight talk from Microsoft: “If you [...]
Safari 3.0.4 for Windows Released
Safari for Windows has been updated to 3.0.4 (still in beta on PC side, but Mac is finally final on 10.4.11… 10.5 of course also being final). You can download it from Safari’s web site or by running Apple Software Update. In all the fury of Apple’s updates today (there were plenty to go around), [...]
Xbox 360 Controller Driver for Windows Updated
In addition to security updates, and Zune 2.0, Microsoft’s latest Patch Tuesday dropped an unexpected gift: An updated Xbox 360 controler driver for Windows. The driver is dated 11/12, but the info on the driver still points back to the older August update… in other words, we don’t know what Microsoft changed. But, you can [...]
iPod touch 1.1.2: A little less hindered…
iPod touch software update 1.1.2 adds one disabled feature that is present on iPhone, but not on iPod touch. You can now add calendar events on the device, and iTunes will sync that back to iCal/Outlook on your Mac/PC. iPod touch could always do this, in fact, once jailbroken, it was found to be a [...]
Macword 2008: The First Draft
About this time, over in Cupertino, the team that handles the keynote gets together… actually it starts anywhere from 90 to 60 days from the day of the big show. Now, lots of people will tell you what is coming to Macworld Expo the week/day/hour before the big show… I’m going to lay out the [...]
