It’s almost unsettling how many choices you have when deciding what kind of iPhone case you’d like to buy. Do you get one that charges your phone, or looks cool? Is it a wallet? Or a steering wheel? The BookBook fits into the wallet category.

Lots of interesting stuff including Ryan discussing OS/2 at length. This portion is especially compelling: I find if you’re targeting Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X right from the start, your code will probably work anywhere else that you might try it later. Not to long ago, people would say, “why bother? Everyone runs Windows!” [...]

Schneier’s write-up of the Stuxnet worm is good: None of this points to the Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran, though. Best I can tell, this rumor was started by Ralph Langner, a security researcher from Germany. He labeled his theory “highly speculative,” and based it primarily on the facts that Iran had an usually [...]

I just set this up today and it was a pain in the arse, so I figured I’d leave a trace of it somewhere on the internets. I hope this helps you.
I think I’ll miss those special advertisements, that only ever appear in computer magazines, when they finally die out completely. You know the ones I mean. via No spaceship? No sale..
After the futile Tango Pro review, I’m ready for all kinds of unexpected failures in attempting to fit this over-sized hard-drive behemoth into a case designed for regular 2.5″ SATA drives. OWC was theoretically ready for this situation with their OWC Mercury On-The-Go enclosure. It is available in a variety of port configurations, but I [...]
So NameCheap finally announced IPv6 glue support and I was quite happy to hear this. I’ve been digging into IPv6 a lot because I’ve become part of an IPv6 project at work (deployment, training, and consulting for customers) so this announcement was perfectly timed. Well, I followed Mr. AlexS’s instructions to no avail. It’s almost [...]
In his double-feature review of the HTC Droid Incredible and the Sprint EVO Andy Ihnatko summed it up perfectly when he said: Working with any user interface developed by Google is like making out with Mister Spock. The company rarely demonstrates any sort of a working understanding of what the Humans respond to and doesn’t [...]
There are a lot of reasons to be interested in mechanical keyboards over rubber-dome models. Much of what I could tell you about rubber-dome keyboards versus mechanical switching has been already said. Rather than reinventing the wheel we’ll reread a classic part of what Dan said about mechanical keyboards: The big deal about these old keyboards [...]
I had planned on reviewing this Tango Pro USB/Firewire HDD enclosure this weekend. I drove down to Microcenter, picked up the Tango Pro, and then since Microcenter didn’t have the HDD I wanted I got that from Fry’s. You’ve probably heard of the drive I wanted to use, it is the only 1 Terabyte 2.5 [...]
KDE 4.4.3 has been out for a bit and finally came to Debian Squeeze recently. You may have been running it sooner on Sid. The first thing I noticed was that when I logged in all I got was a black screen. No wallpaper, no clicking the desktop, and I couldn’t see any task bars, [...]
