Open mouth, insert foot! Ok, after years of being one to point out plenty of Mac problems and faults to everyone I know, I have finally found a reason to buy one. I have been building and using HTPC's for years and it took some time to find the hardware and software I was comfortable with. Setting things up like my iMon Remote proved to be fun, but useless. The hardware, the OS, and all that stuff cost me nearly the same price as the new Mac. So, what has changed? Read More...
I am not one to take jabs at companies... wait... WHO AM I KIDDING?!?!?!? I love jabbing companies! Well anyway, as I was saying... Lately companies have really been surprising me with some of their antics. My rants stretch back from AOL to Microsoft and today the latest crazy chicken on the chopping block is Apple, again. This time, they are refusing to sell you an iPad! Read More...
