April 2009
Ok, so about a month ago I upgraded my TWC internet package to 22 Mbps down. I was promised I would get no less than 15 Mbps down, and that was true for the first day. So finally today after getting sick of only getting 3 Mbps down I contacted them online. Well they were freakin idiots! Then “Donna” got pissed when I told her I used a mac and then disconnected me. WTF! Maybe if for once TWC did a good job and showed some compassion to their customers we wouldn’t get so pissed at them all the time. But this is BS!
Drobo Pro: Drobo Finally announced a drobo Pro for professionals. Awesome if you do a ton of editing and have a ton of stuff that you need to keep backed up.
BlockBuster admits their Demise!: Yes, BlockBuster has admitted that they will probably not survive at this point. Who uses blockbuster any more?
Apple Kills Satellite Radio?: Duh! Ok, Satellite radio has been dying for a while. They are only prolonging their own death.
Apple allows Push testing: Thats right. Push notification is now being fully tested by developers! How exciting is that!
On other apple news, apple is going to stop using windows mobile devices for check out. This is due to iPhone 3.0 software.
And Finally,
Amazon and Walmart are playing follow the leader with apple!: Well they didn’t have a choice really. Now all three offer tiered pricing. Oh the world we live in.
Remember, Keep your data safe and back up to Mozy.com.
AT&T and Verizon are both looking to possibly get into the Ebook business? This could be true, But this story surfaced just a day before April Fools, So I am not putting all my chips into this. Though I could see why they would get into Ebooks.
Microsoft wants Office on the iPhone. This seems stupid to me, I just cant imagine needing a word processor on your iPhone. I have an old HP Jornada that has MS office on it, and it was never used.
Texas Bans Vista! I just thought this was funny. A texas Senator proposed the ban on Vista at government offices in the state of texas. XP is good enough. Hell, XP is more stable than vista. Either you can’t polish a turd.
Microsoft allows HP to wipe Windows 7 with XP until April 2010. Maybe windows 7 is going to suck.
AT&T changes their minds! Ok, Too much at&t news. AT&T made changes to their service contract for subsidized netbooks, then changed it back because of people complaining that they couldn’t lifecast from them. Get a life! AT&T Stick to your guns!
Apple and Stanford to Bring Free online iPhone Dev Classes. Thats right, If you were wanting to learn how to develop for the iPhone you can now learn for free. That is pretty cool in my book.

I am sorry, i know I am alone on this probably. But I think Union workers are babies. They should be thankful they have jobs, Instead they want to whine and cry about not getting more than $20 an hour. I say these companies need to cut the union off and start hiring people who will be thankful for work instead of these greedy mother fuckers!
