Bad Apple: An Argument Against Buying An iPhone

July 29th, 2009 at 11:31 AM

“feel free to differ”? Not bloody likely. This is the sort of thing that made me buy an Android phone instead of the iPhone.

Choose Multipurpose Objects Rather Than Plastic Toys

July 14th, 2009 at 3:20 PM

This is why I always advocate strongly for toys like Lego bricks. Sure they’re expensive, but they last forever and the way you use them changes over the years. I still have my lego’s from more than 30yrs ago in my collection, and still use them today.

Backhaul 101: Why It Matters

July 2nd, 2009 at 11:52 AM

oh, I don’t know, Random Dude. Look at it this way: the Liberals couldn’t get it done when they were in power (because of Labour?) but Labour is able to get it done (in spite of the Liberals?). What matters is it’s getting done and perhaps Telstra will no longer screw over Australia’s Internet services.

Now all we have to do is get rid of Fielding and his crap…

No Free Tethering For Optus On iPhone

To this day, it amazes me that australian carriers still have these sorts of restrictions. Then again, it amazes me we still accept ‘download quotas’ on our broadband.

Windows 7 Reality Check: It Can Still Suck Big Time

June 12th, 2009 at 4:51 PM

I’m quite surprised. As I sit here on my T61 with Vista, I can say there were only three things that didn’t work out of the box for me:
1. the Mute key. That’s actually worked itself out though.
2. The fingerprint reader. I had to download the Lenovo driver, and then cheerfully ignore the Lenovo software. Win7 works fine without it.
3. The display. This was a bit of a mess, but only because I made a big mistake. I installed the Nvidia driver before installing the INF for the LCD, leading to Windows booting up to a black screen because of an unsupported display geometry. Once I worked out what happened it was trivial to fix.

All in all, I have not complaints about Win7 on the T61 (nor on the T60 to my right).
