Microsoft's Vision of the Future (Parody)
"Haha, pretty amusing! Not sure I expect Microsoft to still be around that far into the future though, unless they diversify. The operating system is going to be come less and less important as cloud computing becomes more widely integrated."

Wandering I commented on Alec's blog post 'Negative slogans for Windows 7'"sorry, didn't mean for it to come off as calling you a fanboy. Its just everyday I come on here and theres always someone with a post titled MAC rules, WINDOZE SUX!!.....or something like that...lol It just gets old after a while."
Alec replied to Ben Mclain's discussion 'Do you name your computer?'"My computers and virtual machines are named after starships (from Star Trek). Some are named what they are, e.g. 'Mac-Pro' or 'XPS'.
There's: Excelsior, Prometheus, Defiant, Intrepid, and of course, Enterprise.
PS: I do…"
Alec commented on Alec's blog post 'Negative slogans for Windows 7'"I'm glad to inform you that I'm not a 'fanboy' of any kind - I use both Mac OS and Windows every day. I am merely poking a bit of harmless fun.
Sorry you didn't enjoy it."
Wandering I commented on Alec's blog post 'Negative slogans for Windows 7'"I kind of agree with Tyler on this one, this site is supposed to be home to people who are unbiased and openminded when it comes to these types of things, not the fan boy type. While sometimes its a mix of 50/50, i love this community because we can…"
Tyler Brown commented on Alec's blog post 'Negative slogans for Windows 7'"Honestly, what does this do? This really does nothing.
and as far as copying, well, if a good idea is a good idea, why ignore it? And its not who does it first, but how its implemented."
Alec commented on Alec's blog post 'iPhone: It's Not Easy If You Have To Explain It'"Which I, and I can imagine many other, people did not read ;-) Perhaps on the release of every software update, a quick tutorial on the device of what has changed would make them harder to miss.
But thanks for your comment! I'll bother to read…"

Negative slogans for Windows 7
Posted on September 20, 2009 at 1:27am 5 Comments 0 Likes
I thought it would be funny to come up with some 'negative slogans' for Windows 7. I can just imagine these posted on billboards and put all over the Microsoft website. So here they are.
Windows 7. Our photocopier. Repaired. (reference to Redmond – start your photocopiers)
Windows 7. It’s like Mac OS.
Windows 7. Features you will never use. Refined.
Windows 7. Only six main editions, not including the ‘N’ versions, which are the same as… Continue

Everyone hates Apple

Here's the story. A few months ago, Apple pulled all Google Voice-related apps from the App Store after they had been up for months, informing their developers that their applications 'duplicated the core functionality of the iPhone'.
More recently, Apple rejected the official Google Voice client from the iPhone, giving Google the same 'core functionality' line. But, in their letter to the FCC, that was released on their website, Apple claimed that they 'continue to study' the… Continue

Time out with Dejal Time Out

Lots of people use a computer for much of the day without many breaks. Although most of us do try to take breaks whenever we can, it's sometimes easy to get sucked into a 'time warp' as the hours fly past.
Enter Dejal Time Out, a free bit of software for Mac OS X that runs in the background to look after you. On a schedule that you define, Time Out will gently interrupt your work by slowly dimming your screen and… Continue

A great original game for us casual gamers

Not everyone likes to shoot up people in some gory deathmatch game. And besides, games in that genre tend to get old fast. How many variations on shooting someone can there be?

I'm learning PHP at the moment actually.
I'm just finished all the dealing with arrays, files, functions, loops, and the OOP side of things. :)
I'm using this eBook which I find pretty good, to teach myself everything.
I'm just about to go onto chapter 9 - Databases!
It's the chapter I've been most waiting for since it's really how the whole user-side of things will work I guess. :)
I've done a little PHP and MySQL before but I finally decided to go all out and learn it all. ;)
I guess I'll need it if I want to create the enxt big Twitter-like web startup! ;D
Can I ask what age you are/what you work as (if you're employed in this climate!)

Very nice design and use of JS.
Can I ask what you used to make it? [Languages, libraries, software, etc.]
