Haven’t read yesterday’s initial liveblog of the install yet? Read it here. Yesterday was off to a good start, but AT&T tripped over a non-existent wire (literally). Can U-Verse redeem itself with a finished installation today? Let’s find out together. Read more for the complete liveblog. 8:30 AM Just got a call from the U-Verse […]
As I previously noted, I wanted to give U-Verse a go… and it was a no-brainier now that AT&T is offering $200 cash back just to try it out for 30 days (actually 37, since you have to give them time to issue you the cash back, but either way… still an excellent deal). And, […]
Within the next 30 to 60 days, video podcasts will be coming. I haven’t really gone in-depth on what they would consist of, so I’d like to take a few minutes to expand on that. First, I guess I should point out where I come from on video podcasting. I don’t listen or watch many […]
In case you’re wondering where I’ve been the past week, I’ve been busy. I’ve been traveling back and forth between Sacramento and Silicon Valley, preparing for the big move next month. I’ve run into countless brick walls… and about half of them ate up the time I would have spent writing here. The good news […]
I’m going to raise something interesting here, but at first you might think I’m nuts. I think Apple should profile their customers, and give some of them ProCare for free. Take a deep breath, I haven’t lost it. ProCare provides some Apple-centric users powerful tools at the Apple Store. It used to also include One […]
Back in June, I decided that it would be best to stay in the Sacramento area, as a means to weather the economic storm. And, that has worked, up to now. I should insert the common Geico-inspired “I just saved a bunch of money by not living in the Bay Area…” remark here. However, we’re […]
I’ve already picked apart all the problems surrounding TV Pack 2008, CableCARD DRM, and all the things wrong in the world with Windows Media Center today. And, I could spend a good 15 minutes linking back to all the posts, and all the amens from all the Media Center MVPs and Experts on my blog. […]
A few people have emailed me asking for the driver to fix Windows 7 sound on newer-model MacBooks (2008 and onward). Luckily, I already found it and have posted it over on CentralGadget.com… jump over there at the link below. MacBook Having Windows 7 Audio Trouble? We’ve got your driver fix… – CentralGadget.com
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that this economy has not made an “employer’s market.” It certainly isn’t an employee’s market… just check the job listings on your favorite tech company. But, one of the things we’re struggling with the most, is finding people to work for MechaWorks. Part of […]
I just bought a MacBook Air for $999, as a refurbished previous-generation offering from the Apple Store Online. And, now, I’ll show why that levels the so-called “Apple Tax.” With that system, I am selling off three other laptops; my four-year-old PowerBook G4 12-inch, a netbook, and a Celeron (Core 2 Solo) laptop. One MacBook […]
