I love this rant of Bill Gates when he tries to download Movie Maker from the Microsoft website. Just the hassles and and issues he has and at the end he gets no where. It just make me glad I moved to Mac OSX ages ago. Just comparing it mentally to how a Mac does it makes me smile and know an angel just got their wings. Thou I am glad that Bill Gates is the one writing this so we know that even he suffers when using windows.

iPhone Observations
Just passed by Virgin and they are selling the controllers for 45kd each. Together in the US retail will get you the Wii and those controllers.

With all the hoop-la on the iPhone I come to notice somethings that has me wondering and thats about the battery/power source of this thing.
First thing that comes to mind is the battery life for the iPhone.
Up to 5 hours Talk / Video / Browsing
Up to 16 hours Audio playback
So comparing that to a comparable phone like the Sony Ericsson P990i
UMTS 3 hours 300 hours
GSM 9 hours 340 hours
Thats a lot of hours unaccounted for. I’ve used my P990 for a full day talking, diet browsing, messaging etc and that sure is a lot longer than 5 hours.
Which got me thinking where is the battery pack?
The pictures I’ve seen of the phone show this nice metal shell around it with no latch or hook to release it. This leads me to believe that the battery isn’t replaceable. It is exactly like the iPod battery system, which is some gel thing they wrapped around the device to save space (which could explain how they can getit so thin).
Also means you can’t remove it, and if it fails after a year or two of use, you are pretty much screwed.
Also if it crashes how do you reboot it? All phones now we just remove the battery and shove it back in and tada we are back in working order.
Then I have one other question, how do you charge it? The pictures I’ve seen so far show the phone in people’s hands and not being charged. It doesn’t come with USB so that is out of the question.

So my PowerBook crashed on Friday morning it was a hard drive failure. I tried to do what I can at home alone but that wasn’t going to be working. So Friday morning headed ot Marks place since he had a Mac (FW Target Mode) and can burn DiskWarrior.
There wasn’t a thing we didn’t try it was one of those things that you knew it didn’t look good but kept trying hoping something worked.
At least the eye candy for doing the NBA finals Sonics vs Bulls. It really cool watching it since it was when to me NBA was at its prime, condom the teams were great, sildenafil you had dynasties, players and even a fun game. Now it is more drama and show than anything.

I just found some old pics of Kuwait taken by amkoffee‘s Dad when he was here with the Navy back in 1950.
They are really good quality pics and has me wondering who was there and what was going on.

I dont know what is wrong with me today. I just feel drained. It is like I had no sleep or something. I know I had my standard 6-7 hours of sleep, and I woke up fine and naturally at 7ish, injection had my regular frosted flake breakfast. Then work as usual, yet feel just out of it.
When I left work I stopped by the baqala and picked up my super supplement that always fixes me up when I am tried or hungry. Bounty bar, Pepsi and Kitco chips. They were ok for a short time, but really didn’t fix the problem.
I dont know, it is just Sunday, and I feel like this. I hate to see what Tuesday brings.

We all know how Mark loves to write letter and complain about subjects that bother and annoy him, neuropathologist but he has nothing on Guy Petzall.
Guy Petzall has written letters to everything. He has asked the Pork producers, recipe “why they can’t get milk from pigs”, or which type of diapers would be good for older people at parties where they can’t access the bathroom, or why has British Airways replace the location of air sick bags.
It is not the content of his letters, but the replies he gets from the companies that are they real enjoyment.

Here is a great video of Steve Jobs demonstrating his NeXTSTEP. I always loved the NeXT system. I remember using my friends NeXT box before OSX came out and just fascinated by it. There were all these little things that just worked and functioned just right. It is also one of my favorite GUI.
It is quiet interesting that this was made in 1992 and how everyone is using it now as OSX and we are still fascinated by how smooth and easy it is, viagra
when all it really is a face lift of NeXT.

You may all know about the pink Lamborgini Diablo that was around a while ago, contagion and might have seen the pink H2, site Jaguar, SLK, Range Rover (I’ve seen the HSE, but not the Sport but hear it exists). Most of these are OK cause with their choice of colors since I’ve seen women driving them. Yet some of the colors are in a strange mix of Barbie dream car pink and just ugly and surprisingly men are driving it. Yet today I’ve known it has gone to far, it has jumped the shark. I’ve seen a pink mini van…

Desktop Cleaner – redux
Due to annoying demand I just took a screenshot of my clean desktop.
Desktop Cleaner
mkdir ~/old.desktop
cd ~/Desktop/
mv * ~/old.desktop/
Now my pbook desktop is all clean and shiny.
Apple Video Store?
Seems some inspiring invidivudal decided to take a peak under the hood of the new iTunes 5.0 and found icons and images for an Apple video store. This could be related to that Morgan Freeman/Intel online video store that they were planning.
I am sure like their music store they will be shoving tons of DRM on those things to make sure I can’t play them on other computers. But if the price is right I won’t mind. Although there are rumors that NetFlix is going to be coming out with the same thing soon.
Like I stated earlier, tablets if the price is right I dont mind using it compared to the annoyances of BitTorrent at times (0 seeds), physician and it gives me the ability to watch shows like regular people, instead of dealing with the censorship in the Kuwait Cinemas, or Hawalli DVD stores.
I really dont know why the Ministry of Information censorship dept still exists. They lost, openly and publicly. We can get books, magazines, dvds uncensored via Aramex, we have circumvented their online censorship system. Satellites are on the top of every house in Kuwait giving them access to every type of channel available with all sorts of content and news.
It reminds me of those Japanese soldiers who after WW2 were still hiding out in the Pacific islands waiting for the Allies to attack, when the rest of the world just moved on.

I been wanting to do one of these for ages, gerontologist especially before my upgrade to Tiger so I can remember what to install again. Luckily Om Malek started a meme on his top ten Mac apps. I posted a comment on my 10, symptoms but after some consideration I revised mine, nurse and added more info and my reasons for it and here it is:
Quicksilver: I dont know how my Mac usage would be without this great app. It just allows me to do everything from the keyboard. I can open files, launch/quit applications, access my bookmarks, have a clipboard catalog and just so much more. If this isn’t in your Applications folder then you are really missing out.
Adium: This is the best chat client for Mac. It just works. One feature that I love is the chat window with Tabs. So instead of having multiple chat windows scattered all over my screen I have just one with tabs in the bottom of the people who I am talking to. A quick Apple Left/Right allows me to switch between them. Also that it supports almost every type of IM system is also an added plus.
TextWrangler: BBedit’s younger brother, but still a powerful and rich text editor. I like using this editor for its ability to open and saves on remote servers, and having a tabbed option. This allows me to access a file on the server, while keeping a control copy on my side to compare what I am doing with what is happening. And to make sure what I am doing is right, it has syntax coloring. These features haven’t even scratched the surface of what it can really do.
OmniWeb: This is my offical web broswer. I can talk about it features over and over again, but if you have to ask, then you wouldn’t understand.
NetNewsWire Lite: I love this RSS aggregator it is light, quick and easy on the eyes, and takes very little CPU and its FREE! It is so simple to use, just hitting Spacebar to move from post to post and if it is a long post it does a page down.
iTerm: I love Terminal.app I am on the CLI regularly, either accessing my servers, or chatting on IRC, but it has its restrictions, like no ANSI, or the PageUp/Down options; so it can be quite aggravating. iTerm fixes all those little problems and gives you much more like tabbed options and bookmarks.
Cocoalicious: I am a del.icio.us fiend. I have the bookmarklet on all my browsers. It is really the only way to bookmark for me now. I enjoy it since I can maneuver from multiple PCs, and browsers and still have my bookmarks. Also it allows me to continue reading what I started somewhere else. Since all my browsers support RSS they are a quick click away. Yet the main issue I have is trying to find old bookmarks, or even just categorizing my new ones properly. Cocoalicious allows me to access my bookmarks on my Mac. It sorts them as tags, or I can for search them, then edit them on the fly from the program without having to visit del.icio.us to do it.
Growl: Growl isn’t an app per se, but a system notification utility. I currently have it setup to inform me when I receive new IMs in Adium, this way I dont have to flip over to the other desktop to see what that person said. I also have it to inform me when I receive new mail and it shows From, Subject, and a few lines from the message. Also I have it with Dictionary, just Apple-F and it will lookup the word and inform me of the definition without having to actually open Dictionary.app and see it. Growl has a lot of features for many more apps, but this is what I just use it for.
Services Manager: I dont know how this little program existed under the radar for so long. This thing is a savior. When OSX first came out and that services menu was all shiny and simple. You could do quick web searches, create text documents from selected text etc with just a keystroke. Yet as more and more programs incorporated their options to the Services menu and it just got all cluttered. This program will remove that clutter, and redefine the keystrokes to access them. According to some people your boot time will also get faster since OSX isn’t checking for services that are on if you have many applications.
Desktop Manager, this I can consider my killer app for mac usage. I just love the ability to have more than one desktop active. I currently have 3 desktops. One just for my web sufring, the other for messaging (IM, Mail etc) and the other misc for Finder, and other apps. So switching between them is a breeze just a quick key stroke and some cool visualazation and I am on another desktop with those active apps. This is great if you are a power user, or have a small screen like a laptop and running too many windows and can’t conentrate on each one.
Notable Mentions:
VLC, mPlayer, MacStumbler, Smultron, Imagewell, TinkerTool, X Resource Graph, SideTrack.
