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 […]

After my last home server project ended with tears, I decided that my next system was going to be somewhat smaller, portable, use significantly less power and have no more than four or five drives.
However, money has been somewhat tight for me of late, and I’ve had to make do with no home server to […]

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 […]

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 […]

There’s been enough MacFaggotry on this site for most people to stomach, so lets get back on the other side of the fence for a bit and discuss one of my other favourite subjects - Windows Home Server.
As you all know, I participated in the beta of this thing, and wrote a couple of articles […]

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 […]

The biggest problem with tech or platform communities nowadays is the whole community part of the equation. Take the Mac community, for example. OS X is a wonderful OS, and generally speaking, Apple makes great hardware. I’ve had zero issues with my original Mac mini, I love my new iMac to death, and I’d kill […]

So I just got my ass a shiny new Aluminium iMac in time for the great Macfag event that comes once every few years known as the OS upgrade time. While everyone’s writing about the fancy pants Time Machine, or the multiple desktops Spaces offers, or the fact that the Finder kinda sucks a little […]
