Tech Rant Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard Technorati Tags: Funny, Macintosh » Mike Dawson's blog Add new comment Embarq's Hosting Abilities are at Least, Cheap Supplier Rant Tech Rant I don't actually use the space that comes with our DSL contract. But wow, ignoring the whole issue of terms and conditions, Embarq's hosting is just terrible, or at least, so minimal that it is a joke. What is this, 1999? 20 megs? 15 pages? 1 Gb a month? But in happier news, when calling to get our DSL speed raised, we not only got it raised, but got the price lowered. » Mike Dawson's blog Add new comment Boxee Tech Rant I'm very impressed with Boxee from boxee.tv. If it talked to AirTunes, could manage a DVD plaeyr and could see iTunes playlists, it would be perfect. I rather expect it will get the first and last of those with some beta updates. Now that I have my big HDTV it looks amazing, though of course now the low rez internet shows are painfully, well, low rez. Still, I get to see the Daily Show and Colbert without having cable and don't ever need to worry about there being nothing on TV any more. Never again ET tonight, never again Jeopardy.

No "import your email address list" feature like Linkedin or Plaxo has. So, if you're someone I know and you're using Boxee (or want to try it and have a Mac) let me know. I'll add you, or send you an invite. » Mike Dawson's blog Add new comment MacBook/Xserve Shipping Plastic Media Mac Case Mod Hardware Hack Mac Hack » Mike Dawson's blog 4 comments Read more Headless MacBook Core Duo 2 Case Conversion Hardware Hack Mac Hack I bought a theoretically dead, liquid damaged MacBook Core Duo 2 which turned out to have only a few things wrong with it: the power switch doesn't work because the keyboard connector cable is bad, the IR may not work, and I took its screen off to attach to a working MacBook that had a cracked screen. » Mike Dawson's blog Add new comment Read more Zune Phone Tech Rant Zune Hack Technorati Tags: Zune » Mike Dawson's blog Add new comment Charlottesville iPhone Launch Hardware Rant » Mike Dawson's blog Add new comment Read more 12 3 4next ›last »
