I hate online chat. Hate it hate it hate it. Sitting there waiting for someone to type back at you, it's totally stupid. I'll never use this Google Wave. Email is good enough for me. And nothing can replace a good old phone call.

frankly, I don't think the demographic that is buying Macs (mostly college-aged kids) hasn't changed and won't simply stop buying Macs because of some ad campaign by Microsoft. Windows Vista sucked before it was released, it sucked when it

it just shocks me when normally intelligent people get into some sort of dream state and think they are entitled to something they clearly cannot afford. I make more than $2777 or whatever take-home pay this guy had after his alimony paymen

I've purchased a lot of gear from B&H. This article is a little inaccurate, B&H opened in the late 1960s, my father bought his Nikon F FTn from them through the mail in 1969 and I still have the receipt for it.

the shopping mall was a product of the 1960s, when land was cheap. I hate shopping malls. They take up a huge amount of real estate, encourage people to drive instead of walk and take transit, and house overpriced businesses selling things
