Comment on Top 3 Reasons to Get a Mac by Paul

Paul — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 13:54:53 +0000

Less software required. Read: Less software available.

Mac computer runs on windows. Read: When it doesn’t do what you need it to do you can run Windows on it so you can be productive again.

Macs have a higher second hand value. Read: They cost so much more to begin with that naturally they resell for more.

I’m not anti-mac, but rather pro-productivity. Some people can be productive on Mac, and more power to them. The problem is that people get a false sense of what their mac can or can’t do when they read something like this.

The number one reason for most people to buy a Mac? Elitism. It’s true. There’s nothing wrong with that, but let’s be honest, a cheap PC fills most people’s needs.

Good alternatives. Have you actually tried the ones you have listed here? I want real user reviews before I pick any.

Comment on Photo Hacking? by KarmaWarrior

Ive seen the so-called Fulgurator when it won its prize at ARS Electronica. Its total crap. The most interesting thing it reveals is the how little people understand technology. Even as Julius Von Bismarck was attempting to demonstrate it live, he had to ask members in the audience not to use their cameras as the flashes would stop it working. His well-practiced girlfriend managed to eventually capture an image which had been modified. Another intersting point is that the ‘fulgurated’ image of Obama which is being touted to support his ‘Guerilla’ tactics never turned up anywhere in the press.. could it be that no-one elses images were manipulated?
The ‘device’ is dependant on so many variables: Timing, recharge of flash unit, direction of sensor, exposure time of ‘target camera’ and the assumption that the camera generating the trigger flash is pointing at the same thing… the chances of it working are miniscule!
Julius Von Bismarck also claims he is going to patent his technology - well, sorry Julius, Cameras, Flash Bulbs, Projectors and Light Sensors are all patented.
I fail to understand why this is groundbreaking since it is basically a projector…and one that doesnt work very well either.
I have an invention too… it draws temporary graffiti on buidlings by stealth… its called ‘OHP-Inside-A-Wig’.

Comment on iPod or Junk Pod? by Technology Blog

There are two major draw backs to the ipod in my opinion, the fact that you cannot listen to the music on it through your PC and that fact that it cannot be used as a portable hard drive. Still I love the layout and usage of mine so I will however keep buying them.

I guess the feel good associated with owning an ipod beats having better devices in your hands? But when do features take over from feel good?

I agree that there are better player’s, but is there a better user experience? And in the end isn’t that all we want?
Nice post.

This is very cool. It really does show that there is great potential in doing good for your fellow man with the help of technology.

It really shows how flat the world is.
