Respect Sakura

I normally don’t respond to trolls, but sometimes - just sometimes - I feel the need to put the ignorant sycophant pigfuckers like Brandon LeBlanc in their place.
In addition to paying actors to fake buying notebooks, and complain about how Macs are a gazillion times more expensive than cheap, shitty, crapware infested shitboxes like AMD-based […]

When you can’t copy your competitors’ shit well enough, and your latest product is perceived as a joke by the public at large, then it’s time to do the ol’ IBM marketing strategy of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.
First, Ballmer fired a warning shot off the bow by stating Macs are too expensive, then their marketing […]

Note: This posting has a bunch of links to sites trying to sell you shit. I’m not trying to advertise anything, but just to show the sort of prices floating around. If the notion of linking to a shop’s website is offensive to you, go and fuck right off then you may wish to skip […]

Preface: Just so you know, this article has an intentionally sensationalist title. I don’t pretend to know what Steve Jobs cares or doesn’t care about, and it’s really not the point of this blog posting. It’s really about the state of Apple support in Australia, or rather - the support you get, when attempting to […]

Seems to be a favourite topic of mine these days, but Chris Pirillo made the rounds in the intarweb e-blogging circlejerk crowd lately, over his somewhat padded (and overly sponsored) 50 Reasons to switch to OS X. This, of course, lead to the kneejerk reaction from some Windows fanboy to dispute his statements with even […]

Now I just have to stop myself from getting that RAID enclosure…Hay guys, y’know that thing about 10.5.2 fixing AirDisks for use with Time Machine? Well, it was all a […]

Hey guys, y’know that review I was planning to write for Dennou Coil this week?
Well.. something has kinda come up in the meantime, and I’m going to be a bit distracted by it, so you’ll need to wait a little longer. What came up, you ask? Well.. it’s this.

Go check out the hardware page for […]

I think you can pretty much guess what the crux of this is going to be about, but as I love words so very, very much, I might as well subject you to them anyways.
When January 1st rolled around, I took a good look at where I was in terms with the platforms I use, […]

So as I’ve mentioned several times in the past, I’ve never been one to pigeonhole myself into a specific category of what platform I support - in the sense of Mac zealots, Windows fanboys and smelly Linux/xBSD neckbeards. I’ve prided myself on being above that, recognising that all these platforms have their flaws, and that […]

Update: It looks like there’s some issues getting this working properly under Tiger. I’ll try a fresh install of OS X 10.4 on my Mac mini/MacBook sometime this week, and see how things go.
Following in the tradition of the most visited, and linked to article on this site (despite the fact that it’s kinda crufty […]
