Personal finance is something that is probably now more important than ever. We are in the worst recession since World War II. Watching every penny is key as credit card companies tighten the vises, ahead of the February credit card reforms. In case you have been living under a rock, Mint.com succeeded where MinuteTracker.com failed… […]
Well, they did ask Engadget to take that number down. It might be a marketing ploy to spread the news better, but still… 80,000 copies x $100 = $800,000 so far. Not bad considering that Woot sells 4.3-inch GPS units for just $15 more, including shipping. And yes, today’s Woot offering is exactly that… made […]
Well, two weeks without a blog post usually requires an explanation… I don’t want people to think I’m getting out of touch. We’ve been hard at work with Full Circle, taking some great feedback in. Probably the best feedback we’ve gotten is on how to avoid being considered yet another Phantom console (something I’ve coined […]
I decided to take on the first wave of Full Circle questions, on the AnimeNation forum of all places. I’m not a member there, but the team said they had raised some of the best questions on there… and a few “why do I want another thing like Chrome OS on my computer.” So, I […]
I probably wouldn’t be penning this post today had Dreamcast not failed. Sega would have gotten the glory they deserved, and the console world would be historically changed. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be. When Dreamcast failed, I said there has to be a better way. If a great system like that failed, it’s time […]
As posted on Twitter, today we remember Dreamcast. Tomorrow, we embark on a new dream. See you all tomorrow.
Snow Leopard is out (well, it’s in customer’s hands anyways), and that means I’m finally free from the burden of NDAs. I have some gripes about Snow Leopard, I’ll get to my largest in a second. First, overall, it’s a progressive upgrade for Mac OS X. Exchange is nice, and the iPhone OS UI crossovers […]
Having become an expert on extended warranties, I figured it was a good idea to get one for my 2000 Buick Century. I want to at least get another year or two of use out of it… even if I do buy a new car sooner. For awhile, I’ve been in the market for an […]
Apparently GM Holden gets to rebadge while Americans don’t. The car maker is poised to begin selling the Pontiac G8… in Australia. The Pontiac G8 saga really couldn’t get any weirder at this point. The G8 is based on the Commodore VE, which is sold in Australia. Now, Holden will be selling the G8 in […]
GM Holden just received a cool $200 million to source other automakers, now that their capacity to sell the Pontiac G8 was undercut by the Auto Task Force. Granted, one of the first announcements out of the Saturn/Penske deal was that the Sky roadster was going to be cut from production immediately. But, we already […]
