What's a boy to do?

Being at "home" makes a college boy appreciate so much.

...like dishwashers, for instance.

...or showering without the insistent tunes of Radiohead pouring in from my suitemate (no offense Andrew)

...or not having to share the hall with black widow spiders.


But alas, when this happens:



there is no soul staring into the same screen in our modest room to empathize with the nerd that lives in my heart.

How will life go on?

Dang It Feels Good To Be A Tech-Nerd

Normal Rockstar points us to this incredible article featuring the mastermind behind facebook. This 22-year-old was offered 1 billion dollars for his Web 2.0 baby, but he turned it down! Crazy or what?

More Microsoft Genius

"The WOW starts now"...with an iBook. You'd think being such a big competitor, Microsoft wouldn't put an Apple computer in their new ad campaign. Wonder what Seth would have to say about this. But people are saying that Windows Vista will actually run better on a Mac than a PC. Figures.

Thanks to The Unofficial Apple Weblog for this.

APPLE DELIVERS THE GOODS!!!

Apple has announced the iPhone NOW! The Macworld Keynote is going on as we speak, and you can tune in to the live updates here . The recording of the keynote should be on Apple's site in a couple of hours after it is done. The iPhone includes iPod like connectivity to iTunes, runs OS X, a touch screen, only 1 button, and some unique time travel features (ok, so that last one may be a stretch). The other notable announcement thus far is the Apple TV. You can stream iTunes videos, music, and photos wirelessly to your TV from up to 5 different computers and store it on a 40GB hard drive.



I guess they weren't lying.

Spam, Spam, Spam!!

InformationWeek has reported a 30% increase in spam email in 2006 compared to 2005. This translates the fact that a whopping 87% of all emails are junk emails. Apparently, there are 8 million computers around the world remotely controlled for the sole purpose of jamming our precious inboxes with unwanted advertisements and other obsenities. And as the anti-spam technology gets more sophisticated, so does the spam. So, all ye internet-ites beware! Your inboxes are not safe here...
