The SuperSite Switcher Guide: From Mac OS X to... →
I, for one, am interested to see how this turns out. I want to give Vista a serious try sometime, but want, and need, to keep everything in sync between OS X and Windows. Otherwise, it will be very hard to fully experience Microsoft’s new OS (e.g. I don’t want to have to completely recreate my bookmarks, preferably without having to resort to solutions like Delicious).

The news on TV says that people in India are holding weddings for dogs. Riiight… That is just bizarre.

I can see someone wearing a black t-shirt with a shiny Halo 3 logo on it. And no, it’s not my reflection. (via my Twitter)

Interesting… I wonder how they’ll handle loopholes. Will this end up a fiasco like e-voting?

So after shopping for Cube RAM today, I dropped by Times Square and looked at the B&W Zeppelin. Nothing special to say about it I guess. It’s a little less wide than I thought, but that’s about it. I also got a brief literal hands-on with HP’s second-generation TouchSmart PC, and I have to say it’s not bad. The computer responded to my finger well (never once did I use...

A customer brought in a beat-up original iBook the other day (the Bondi Blue clamshell one) so that we can transfer the data from the 6GB (!) hard drive on to a new Mac. In the process we had to rip the thing apart (no FireWire, so no Migration Assistant), yielding a dusty old AirPort card. Since the laptop was going to be thrown away afterwards anyway, I shotgunned it. Now I’m the owner of...
