Vista – not a magic bullet
May 24th, 2006 · Comments · Personal, gadgets and technology, marketing
AMD: Vista only a tiny step to convergence | CNET News.com

Back from London
May 21st, 2006 · Comments · travel
I was in Europe again last week – this time in London for business. The travel is pretty heavy in my job, but the cross-atlantic action is new.
I have to say I really like Europe and had a very good trip meeting with co-workers from our London office.

Movielink and CinemaNow: Hardly Worth the Effort
May 14th, 2006 · Comments · marketing
If you must obtain a movie in the next few hours but can’t leave your house or have anybody else pick up the flick, these two Windows-only stores might work. Otherwise, it’s unclear who would bother with them: They stock far too few movies, charge too much for them, offer them at a quality inferior [...]

MacBook Pro!
May 13th, 2006 · Comments · apple, gadgets and technology
Wow! I received a MacBook Pro from the office yesterday and it’s absolutely amazing. After using a Powerbook for so long the overall responsiveness of the systems is a quantum leap! Apps I was used to just having to wait on, just work. I can’t detect any issues with Rosetta and [...]

I’m Back
May 10th, 2006 · Comments · Personal
I’ve recently had the opportunity to take a few weeks from the office and it’s been an amazing mental experience. My first week was a family vacation – noted in the previous post – and as part of this trip I did a complete disconnect – no phone and no email. I had [...]
