• And You Thought Your Notebook Had Good Battery Life

  I opened my laptop this morning and saw the following battery life reading and had to laugh out loud. We can only dream of such battery life. But it's nice to dream. :) Posted Oct 09 2009, 05:39 AM by pthurrott with | with 28 comment(s) Filed under: Humor, Mobile

• Windows 8 To Be 128-bit Only? LOL

  Wow. I have to admit, the most amazing thing about this rumor is that anyone believed it. I won't single anyone out, but spare me. It's completely and utterly bogus. Obviously. Posted Oct 08 2009, 04:13 PM by pthurrott with | with 48 comment(s) Filed under: Humor, Commentary, Windows 8

• Yet another new version of Windows for Europe

  Or, to be more specific, for Amsterdam. The Red Light District of Amsterdam. :) Seen while waiting on my kids, who were shopping for souvenirs. It's called "Windows XXX." Posted Jul 30 2009, 05:57 AM by pthurrott with | with 21 comment(s) Filed under: Humor, Travel and events

• Office 2010 The Movie: Trailer now available

  This is genuinely hilarious . Just excellent, excellent stuff. Posted Jul 10 2009, 10:55 AM by pthurrott with | with 67 comment(s) Filed under: Microsoft Office, Humor

• Worst blog post ever? Or worst blog ever?

  I used to think of lazy bloggers as being the bottom feeders of the web. (You know, people who blog about absolutely nothing and then end the post with, "Thoughts?" or "Discuss!" in some weird bid to get an actual conversation going...

• Upload your apps now. Windows Marketplace for Mobile

  Microsoft's Windows Mobile (or, we should say, "WinMob") team goes viral and decidedly non-PC in this video-based attempt to woo developers to their platform . It's funny, and a bit long, but they get at least some credit for simply... Posted Jun 23 2009, 11:05 AM by pthurrott with | with 7 comment(s) Filed under: Windows Mobile, Humor, Developer

• Mozilla puts Safari's '11 million downloads' in perspective

  LOL. As if it weren’t bad enough that Apple was force feeding Safari 4 to its customers and then gloating about the number of downloads it achieved, we have this bit of news from Mozilla’s Asa Dotzler, which really puts that figure in perspective. I just... Posted Jun 15 2009, 10:22 AM by pthurrott with | with 32 comment(s) Filed under: Apple, Internet, Alt. Windows, Mozilla, Humor, Commentary

• WWDC 2009: Time for a reality check

  Apple is providing its WWDC 2009 keynote address today, providing some interesting info about its Mac and iPhone platforms. But this is Apple we're talking about. So it's time for a reality check. 75 million Mac OS X users. Apple claimed that... Posted Jun 08 2009, 03:33 PM by pthurrott with | with 196 comment(s) Filed under: iPhone, Apple, Mac, iPod, Alt.

• The magic of wishful thinking ... Windows 7 edition?

  Virtually everyone who has used the Windows 7 RC has come away with positive reactions, especially concerning performance. And few would question the fact that Windows 7 runs acceptably on even low-end netbook hardware, a la Windows XP, but unlike Windows...

• The magic of wishful thinking ... This time in the Apple camp

  Recent reports of a magic IE 8 performance boost make me smile because this kind of thing is simply human. We all see what we want to see, what we expect to see. It's just part of our DNA. It explains UFO and Bigfoot sightings. And, apparently, it... Posted May 06 2009, 10:45 AM by pthurrott with | with 46 comment(s) Filed under: iPhone, Apple, Alt. Windows, Humor, Commentary

• How Mac fanatics see the world

  I saw this story mentioned on Macsurfer today and smiled immediately. Because it occurred to me that Mac fanatics--you know, the crazy ones, not Mac users --would completely disagree with its opening assertion: Corporate Comebacks: Apple In 1997, Apple...

• Microsoft: Celebrate Tax Day by avoiding the Apple Tax

  They're getting pretty persistent about this. (Of course, they do have a point. Macs are absolutely more expensive than PCs.) Brandon over at the Windows team blog posts about the company's latest Apple Tax initiative: With the ailing global economy...

• Server Quest II: A Day in a Geek's Life

  Remember those awesome Sierra "Quest" adventures from the late 1980's and early 1990's? Well, here's something that will completely sully that memory and use it like a dishrag. You've been warned.

• One last look at the 'Lauren' I'm a PC ad

  The tech world--especially the Mac world--is still aflame in some sort of weird controversy over Microsoft's latest "I'm a PC" ad, the one in which Lauren buys a $699 HP laptop. There's been all kinds of silliness about this ad.... Posted Mar 30 2009, 11:37 AM by pthurrott with | with 152 comment(s) Filed under: Windows 7, Humor, Commentary

• iMac shuffle

  Good stuff : The simplest Mac you'll ever use. Introducing the new iMac shuffle. It’s the desktop that had everything. Now, there’s less.
