As you might’ve gathered from the last few weeks of more or less constant nagging and bitching, I’ve recently gotten an iPod Touch. Despite a number of complaints, it’s still, I fear, better than any of the alternatives, at least for now.

…is still the original X-box. Not because of its admittedly mediocre game library, but because of its flexibility.
It can’t have escaped anyone’s attention that I’m kind of a geeky kind of guy. I like fiddling with things. I like taking things apart, see how they work, make my own little contribution, and then put them [...]

#12: No power profiles. This is a small one, but annoying. When my iPod Touch is connected, as in recieving power from somewhere, I’d like it to stay on and un-autolocked. When it’s not, I’d like the autolock to kick in after about a minute. Laptops and netbooks usually have “power management profiles” of some [...]

#10. No shared file area, no file system access. Seriously, Apple, wtf? I know you want us to believe noone needs to access or use the computer’s actual file system anymore, instead you want us to rely on indexing and tagging, and flat motherfucking file structures. Like your hog, Itunes.
Anyways, I’m not ready to go [...]

Let no man tell you that Apple isn’t evil. Apple is every bit as monopolistic and fucking-bastardly as Microsoft - and this Quicktime shenanegans is just the last part of a long saga. Remember when installing or updating Quicktime suddenly automagically meant also installing their crappy webbrowser Safari in windows? Yeah. Remember how Itunes, until [...]

First of all, I’m overall impressed. Much more so than I ever was with Vista. This is truly the XP to Vista’s ME. That being said, of course the sun still has spots, and Windows 7 is so far far from free of fault.

How many times have you written something in the wrong case? Not just IN CAPS because you happened to touch the much-maligned Caps Lock button, but sometimes you just slip on the Shift button - and sometimes you need to deal with stuff other people have written.
How about this:
When no text is selected, the Caps [...]

Seriously, this is getting old. I just want to find a good player and stick with it. Am I having too high standards? Am I just being picky?
…No. I don’t think it is in any way extraordinary to be able to have multiple watch folders in a music player. Or having the ability to, in [...]

Got myself a apsnking new EEE 900 16G a few months back. I’ve been having fun with it ever since. Despite its size, it’s a surprisingly agile and flexible machine, which has provided me endless hours of what I call Fun: mucking around finding “just the right solutions”. You know, the kind of thing most [...]

 
I’m kind of fascinated by this new trend of stream-based legal music players. I mean, they’re in no way a real alternative to those of us who like being able to listen to our music when offline (and yeah, there are some of us who aren’t online 24/7. Sometimes, for instance, I’m taking a walk. [...]
