Perhaps disagree is a bad word. But, there is a clear nonsensical problem between the Remote Desktop licensing in Windows Live Mesh and in Windows Home Server. With Windows Home Server, you can log into your Home Server URL, and access all the Remote Desktop computers on your home network. Great. Problem is, any XP […]
Before this, any photos of what you will see below are fake. This, however, is very real. But, it’s also far from finished. So, please don’t go Slashdotting… plenty of time for that when I have some stability to report back. And now, for the HTC Shift: Powered by Mac OS X Leopard. Click to […]
Apple has posted a full guide, detailing how to use fsck. Fsck is not a curse word, it’s the utility that modern UNIX-based operating systems use to verify the filesystem, and repair it when needed. In Mac OS X, when you click Verify Disk inside of Disk Utility, you’re actually running fsck. Now, Apple has a full […]
Burning some midnight oil, I got the jobs page finished for PhoneNews.com. And, I did drop a couple of positions onto it that actually aren’t related to PhoneNews.com. They’re for that super-secret wave of new projects in the hopper for next month. Which jobs are which? Sorry, that’s for me to know, and you to […]
Okay, yes, I know it sounds crazy, but FedEx wound up losing one of my iPhones for a month, which I had sent in for warranty repair. After numerous calls, and complaints, I was about to give up and create an anti-FedEx web site. Apple pointed the finger at FedEx, FedEx said Apple wasn’t giving […]
Today, an odd update appeared for Windows Media Center owners with CableCARDs. Specifically, the ATI Digital Cable Tuner Update which is now available. Two odd things with this update. One, it claims to be a new update, yet claims to not contain anything new. After updating, users report still being at firmware 1.17. Two, after […]
I decided for once to attend a Microsoft Expert Zone Chat. These chats are buried in the old Windows XP area of Microsoft’s site (for some strange reason). They offer a rare chance for Microsoft leadership (engineers, product managers, etc) to chat right with customers. I wanted to get the straight answer on CableCARD’s DRM […]
Today, my Westinghouse W3213 HDTV died. I camped outside of a Best Buy for a good 12 hours in 2006 on Black Friday, nabbing the TV for the nice price of $479.99. Just for comparison, Westinghouse’s equivalent model today still sells for $679.99. But, enough about me bragging, the TV is dead after all. But, […]
Users that want a 12-inch MacBook Pro really bad (myself included) now have their own discussion forum. As I’ve noted in the past, I think that there’s still plenty of room in the Mac Portable lineup for a 12-inch MacBook Pro. This is a system that would replace the 12-inch PowerBook G4. Unlike the MacBook […]
A list of 10 must-haves for Mac OS X 10.6. Why am I writing this right now? Tis the way of all things Apple. Now that Apple is wrapping up iPhone 2.0 firmware, Apple will start looking to a unified operating system to upgrade both platforms from. Mac OS X Leopard was a half-Mac, half-iPhone […]
