As the title says, MechaWorks is building an Apple site. Because of my proximity to Apple however, I will have no editorial relations with the site. The news will not be driven, or touched by me… beyond any general advice and council (which, I would give to anyone, anyways). More details on it will be […]
Not as bad as Trend Micro, but just about. I specifically told Panda to not auto-quarantine items, but instead to ask about each instance. Like other antivirus software, it now treats tracking cookies as an infection (which I hate, since it falsely tries to convince uninformed users about the importance of their antivirus software). This […]
Long story short, rather than doing something productive, I’m undoing a mess created by the near-final beta of Trend Micro for Windows 7. I was installing the betas in a random pattern across the machines, to find out which one would give me the most headache. And, we have a winner! Long story short, some […]
I just ordered my Palm Pre. Yeah, I opted for Sprint Relay instead of SERO long ago. Didn’t need the voice, and the unlimited messaging was more valuable to me. And, thankfully, Sprint woke up and gave Relay Data-Only people the Pre that they deserve. Most people on Relay Data-Only plans are deaf, and I […]
As I’m wrapping up E3 coverage over on CentralGadget.com, I paused for a moment and asked what was the real winner there. No, it wasn’t the PSPgo (didn’t like it, sorry). It wasn’t the Project Natal (like OnLive, I’ll hold off judgement until it’s in the real world). It certainly wasn’t Sonic & Sega All-Stars […]
No, it’s not a web site, it’s sending hate mail to the PhoneNews.com anonymous SMS tip line. Yes, that’s right, people have been sending hate mail to 916-380-9429 plenty of times over the past week. I just find it funny that our detractors chose to waste their time on such childish behavior. It takes them […]
Yesterday was day one of E3 (okay, you probably already new that if you’re reading this blog). But, while this is my first E3, I’ve been watching E3 from afar for years. I saw E3 rise, and E3 fall… hard. I thought E3 turning into a business-only platform was dumb. E-for-all (the “consumer” side of […]
GM just announced that the first Chevy Volt has been built. Now, you might have seen Volts in the past, but they were actually mules from another pre-production car, the Chevy Cruise. The Cruse will be launching this year, and uses the same platform as the Volt. Some have asked me if you should take […]
What was supposed to be a simple, five minute procedure… turned into an hour-long debacle. I wanted to print out a door sign for the MechaWorks meeting room at E3. Simple, right? I opened up iWork Pages, dropped the MechaWorks logo (in TIFF format) in, and the MechaWorks icon (in EPS format), sized them to […]
We’re headed to E3. Full coverage on MechaWorks sites, of course. But, as the MechaWorks Jobs page has given away… that’s not the only reason that we’ll be there. So, if you’re looking to score a job in the industry (especially if you’re out of work), and you’ll be at E3, head on over there […]
