Beware the SMC update for your MacBook 13. Mine now shuts itself off whenever it wants and the fan runs a lot more often.
Note to self: Remember that last note to self about not buying 1.0 hardware? You should have listened to that.
(sigh)
Every time I blog something, I have to decide which tool to use:
If I’m going to use bullet-points, then I can’t use the Blogware web interface because it doesn’t have bullets. If I try to use Performancing, it won’t talk to Blogware properly and fails during posting or gives bizarre error messages. [...]
I was sent a link today for a Forrester webinar that has as its technical requirements: Windows Media Player 6, Real Player 5, and IE 5 or Netscape 6. It doesn’t play on my brand new MacBook with OS X 10.4 and Firefox. And Firefox can’t find plug-ins to make it work. This is [...]
We have had some more great comments from people about Web 2.0: Strategies and Lessons for Business but oddly no flames or outright disagreement.
Here are some links and comments from around the Web:
I had the pleasure of meeting Jeremy Geelan, who was chairing The New New Internet conference last week in Virginia and he is [...]
This morning, I deleted the 3600 spam that were sitting in my Gmail Spam folder. Lo and behold, 2h15 2h22m later I have 15 16 new ones promising to sell me cheap electronics, software, pharmaceuticals, watches, orgasms, and debt forgiveness. More and more, I am agreeing with people like Fred Wilson and his kids who [...]
This is without a doubt the best business movie of the year for its content. And it is probably one of my favourite movies of the year for its film quality as well. This movie is BRILLIANT.
It is the true story of a men’s brogue shoe factory in Northamptonshire, England that in order to [...]
Zoli continues his brilliant writing by discussing exploding batteries, penis pumps, and why people should avoid them anyway since Small is the new Big.
Hiliarious writing Zoli.
I’ll admit I’m not a big Seth Godin fan. But his brilliant post titled “Thinking about snakes on a plane” had a core message that needs repetition.
I am involved with a large company that wants to do cool, new things as well as with young startups that want to change the world. [...]
I’m sitting on a plane, after having been put through the standard annoying and oh-yes-I-know-they’re-terribly-necessary routines of the beloved customs and airport authorities that Paul Kedrosky and Fred Wilson love so much, and am trying to get caught up on the remaining 5000 blog posts in my reader. Alas, I can’t read half [...]
If you have ever wanted to turn your apartment into a replica of a Starship Voyager spacecraft, there is a fellow in Hinckley, Leicestershire that you might want to call. But call him quickly. He bankrupted himself redesigning his apartment in the hopes that others would see his incredible design skill and hire him. Bizarre [...]
The Register once again does its usual bang-up job of reporting on the humour in technology. I believe it was Bruce Schneier who once said that people always claimed to be concerned about their data privacy…unless you offered them a donut. (I might be attributing that quote incorrectly as I can’t find it anymore.) And [...]
