The Great iPhone Price Debate

I’m not going to be arsed to dig up any links to the ongoing debate over whether the iPhone 3G is or isn’t actually cheaper, or a good deal. Instead I’m going to sum this up in simple terms even the simpletons in the blogokleinbottle can understand:
If you already own an iPhone (2G) and don’t [...]

This is Why Reason Matters

Today this story popped up on my radar via Skeptico. The basic story is, the classroom aide of an autistic girl in Ontario Canada went to a “psychic” who cold-read the aide and came to the determination that the autistic girl was being sexually abused.  Now, in a rational world, when presented with this allegation the [...]

Google Ain’t All That

I’ve been following various forum and blog posts regarding the Apple MobileMe announcement; and I see a trend that’s beginning to annoy me. Inevitably, at some point someone will make a comment along the lines of, “I don’t see why anyone would bother with this when there’s Google Mail, Calendar, etc.”  Without going into an analysis [...]

Thoughts On The iPhone 3G Pricing

Now that the blogokleinbottle is coming down from the WWDC keynote crack-hits, some of the denizens of blogoland are realizing that the iPhone 3G isn’t actually the second coming of Jesus (gasp!) One of the biggest themes that I’m picking up surrounds the pricing changes. I’m not going to link to any of the various posts breaking [...]

New Media Entitletard Douchebags

Ye gods, get a load of the latest whiny new media entitletard douchbaggery from Michael “I make up quotes” Arrington over at TechCrunch.  The gist of the matter is a list of technical questions to the Twitter team from Michael. While the questions themselves have some merit, the absolutely overwhelming sense of new media entitlement surrounding them [...]

Security: The Most Powerful FUD of All.

This is sure to bring out the trolls and zealots; but what the hell.  It seems that Microsoft has issued a warning advising that Windows users not use Safari for Windows.  I’m not going to bother to go over the background on this, you can read the advisory yourself here. And I’m not going to [...]

Michael Arrington: “I’m a Click-Whoring Jackass”

Jerry Yang: “We’re Done”
That’s the headline over at TechCrunch. Pretty simple right, one would almost infer from the quotation marks that that’s actually what the Yahoo CEO said.  I mean, I didn’t go to no fancy journalism school, but I do seem to recall from my fifth grade English class that quotation marks imply that [...]

Breaking: 3G iPhone Based on Alien Technology

I don’t really have any anything else to write about; but I was tired of watching the downward slope on my page hits graph, so here goes.  I received a report from a source close to Apple today with incontrovertible proof that the soon-to-be released 3G iPhone will incorporate technology recovered from the alien scoutship that crashed [...]
