New Year Resolution

Your arrangements for New Year's 2021 will be a great deal not quite the same as what they used to be — you might be exchanging a New Year's Eve party for additional time on the lounge chair before a merry New Year's film — and your goals may appear to be unique, as well. It's still convention to settle on a couple of New Year's goals before the ball drops on December 31, and this year, a recharged center around your wellbeing might be top of brain. Or then again, you might be worn out contemplating dinners or your waistline, in which case you'll turn your sights on your emotional well-being, or your rest schedule, or the wreck in your lounge — or the wreck of your wardrobe!  This year, fill your goal list with simple, bravo objectives. Attempt one of these straightforward way of life changes every day, and you'll not just kick off a better body and brain — you'll feel phenomenal thus psyched to make 2021 a vastly improved year than any time in recent me...

The New Revolution

I think everyone replying to this thread is missing one key point so I'm replying to the parent. Consumers, in general, as compared to us techs and those used to technology, versus those who are well trained into consumerism, will buy a subscription based listening experience, not thinking about owning the music, hook, line, and sinker. Does anyone know how many people already subscribe to such services, both consumer and business, in other technologies? Think satellite radio, cable radio stations, sky angel, et cetera... To those that don't understand the nature of the beast, understanding what can be done with a computer, it is already standard practice for them in other markets. Why would this market be different to them? They'll want to listen to music on their computer, they'll find a service based on those that are shoved at them, some call this advertising, picking the most shoved one, to try first, and not think twice about it. Not that it should be that way, bu...

The Emporers old bias...

*Update*This is definitely a very dry satire, but once you get it, it's hilarious! --- Here is a response to an mac mini review found here : Jorge (jorge at divisiontwo dot com), This is concerning your latest article on the mac mini:. First I have to say, how did you find time to come up with all that text that say virtually nothing? And what about fact checking? Take for instance your comparison on the weight and size of the mini. You claim that Apple claims 'the new Mini is “smaller than most packs of gum” and weighs “less than four quarters”.' Have you even looked at their site? Did you watch the mac world video? Or are you actually just talking out of your ass? I believe, either the later, or you are letting your bias confuse you. The claims about the pack of gum and weight are, and were, clearly stated as claims for the iPod Shuffle. In fact if you simply visit their site, http://www.apple.com/ipodshuffle/ , you will see this picture: They say a picture says a thousa...

GMail anti-Opera, anti-Mac?

I've been trying for the past few days to get to GMail via my beloved Opera browser (identified as Opera in the User Agent) with no luck. All I get is the "Loading..." redirect page. It works fine for Internet Explorer and Firefox. Well this morning I had Opera identify the userAgent as IE it worked great! I had a friend load it on the windows version of Opera 8.5, I'm using OS X and Opera 8.5, and his loaded fine identifying as Opera. So the question is, what's really wrong with Opera and GMail on a mac? Is this another case of Google ignoring the mac? If so, wake up Google! Apple is here to stay long term. It's time to start planning for it.
