2013/09/08

The video player DivX played a nasty trick on me this week, so it's gone from my computer. Router technology has changed and you may be in the market for one soon. I have a tale to tell about that.

Were the Ballmer years good or bad for Microsoft? The answer is YES. In Short Circuits: The New York Times website was knocked off-line again this week. This time it was an attack, not a bad update, and it's going to get worse. And Microsoft has

If you're looking for the one perfect portable computing device that suits every need, my recommendation is to forget about it.
