Apple: iTunes U Puts Entire College Courses on... →
This inspired a tweet this morning where, if I’m not mistaken, I said the first legitimately nice thing about Apple, without a single “but” or “if” in sight. Well done, T. Cook & Co.

Flu season set me back some (I registered and was supposed to get started on this right after the New Year). I’m pushing the big reset button on everything. I’m not going to delete any past activity from my existing online accounts, but this is the start of a new phase in my life, and I intend to treat it as such.

Don't Buy Western Digital - This is My Story
A positive resolution was reached with Western Digital. Despite the bad first impression, I’ve seen them make an effort that does inspire a willingness to continue giving them my business.

This is my Western Digital 2TB My Book Essential. It’s also a technological turd.

Apple Wins Patent Victory Over Android, We're All... →
Winning a patent lawsuit over “how a phone number is displayed” - when it shows up inline and you can tap it to call it. This is something ANY phone should be able to do. So many articles in my RSS feeds are about the latest stupid lawsuit, and all the money being tied up litigation would be better spent evolving technology as a whole.
I wish we lived in a world where everyone sending...

Apparently these were huge this year; I just found them now. But I love them all and will definitely be putting them in the canned responses folder of my phone to text on demand.

Stephanie Meyer Supports Gay Marriage
No, if you really think about it, she made a great argument for gay marriage. Her characters really made gay people seem awesome.
He was a vampire so he’s dead, and she was a teenager. That’s necrophilia and statutory rape. She made an argument for the SHITTIEST couple ever, and even they got to make it.
-Matt Volkman
There’s merit to that.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I don’t know what’s gotten into Google lately, but I’m totally loving it.
Google just announced a range of updates to Google+ video hangouts, declaring its intention to move social networking “beyond the status update.” Any conversation on Google+ can now “go live,” with a “Hangout”...

Review: Google Currents (iOS)
Just submitted this review to the App Store for the app. It’s pretty embarrassing.
Google Currents is a beautifully designed application. It’s fast and responsive as well. Why 1 star? Because… At launch, it’ll ask you to sign in to your Google account. I did. Then a little tutorial popped up. I dismissed it. I saw the “editions” (feeds) from a few sample...

Google+ Hangouts Are Now Free Conference Calls,... →
All of a sudden, I no longer mourn the loss of Google Wave. Excellent Job, Google.
According to a public post from Jarkko Oikarinen, creator of the trusty chat protocol IRC, Google+ Hangouts will now let you conference people in by phone for free. You can use Hangouts with extras to dial in anyone in the U.S. and Canada. It allows anyone with a phone number to participate in a Hangout right...

A Post Steve Jobs Apple So Far
So, since the late great Steve left us:
An iPhone caught fire on a plane.
Another iPhone caught fire in Brazil.
The iPhone 4S launched with big battery issues, a change from last year’s antenna fiasco.
Apple released iOS 5.01 to fix the battery issues. It didn’t. Oh, and it introduced NEW issues!
Siri doesn’t acknowledge abortion clinics, leaving thousands of iPhone 4S...

East = No Bueno
So I’m at work, and Rom and I just had a short convo that ended with us concluding that “east” is never really a good indicator:
East L.A.
Eastern Europe (Let’s be honest, it’s totally super poor there)
East Coast (New Jersey - There’s a reason the West Coast doesn’t have one of those)
East San Diego (it’s the ghetto - it also happens to be...

Chris Likes It
Chris and I were talking about black Friday and sales, and he stated that Amazon on cyber Monday is his poison.
Then he mentioned that all it’s been doing for days is try to sell him a Kindle Fire, and that it wasn’t going to happen.
Then I told him that it’s actually a really cool tablet, especially with an Amazon Prime membership. Then I explained to him what it is - and he...

Executive Educational Decision
I’ve decided I’m going to intentionally take F’s for English and Communications, and retake them next semester after I move over to Mesa full-time. Goodbye, San Diego City College. May I never have to deal with your ghetto ass campus and teachers ever again.
