My Name is Yaniel and I Suffer From Hobby Acquisition Disorder
I'm so sick of product placement. I don't mean the subtle PP, but the in your face PP (relax kids) really irks me. I specially hate how forced it seems, and how little they usually add to the scene or how poorly done it is. For years I'd see iPods, iMacs, MacBooks, iPhones, etc in shows. But they were usually just background scenery or carried discretely by characters. In all honesty I couldn't tell you if it was paid product placement, or the producers just like how it looked and wanted it in the scene. Thats...
Apple has a cryptic message on their homepage. Tomorrow Is Just Another Day. That You'll Never Forget. Most blogs are speculating that it'll be the Beatles coming to the iTunes store. If it is, I think it's too little too late. By denying the consumer what they've wanted for so long, most have been forced to get pirated versions of the music. This isn't Apple's fault since they've been trying to do this for a while but have received the cold shoulder from Yoko Ono. At this point, for this to be a worthwhile...
So after a few days if iPhone 4 ownership I wanted to write a bitabout it. I should preface this by saying I'm an iPhone fanboy. I pre-ordered this bad boy at 5 am on the 15th and anxiously waiteduntil the 24th to finally have FedEx drop it off.I love the phone over all, the form factor, the speed, the batterylife, the display. The antenna issue doesn't bother me because I have a Griffin case on the phone.I didn't really want to write about what I love since everyone hasalready done that ad nauseam. I felt I should...
My friend Marc ( www.insanelymarc.com ) has been talking about Project 365 for about a month now and it seemed interesting. It's a way to document your life for a year through photographs and...
I've wanted an ebook reader since the Kindle first debut. I've held off because I know the second I buy one, a book will be released in a format that only another E-book reader has and then i'll be angry. Very much so. The Kindle only gets books that amazon sells which is a good selection with good prices but it isn't every e-book possible. The Nook buys books from B&N and E-pub format. The Sony ones get from E-pub and I think from a Sony store. This closed garden book store environment has me holding back from a...
I know Apple is clearly against the idea of hackintoshes, Apple is against the idea of anything it can’t completely control with an iron fist. But Apple should embrace the osx86 community, if it wasn’t for my hackintosh I’d never be the apple fanboi that I am today. Before building it I couldn’t fathom spending the type of money required for an iMac or Mac Book Pro over a Windows equivalent, but after using my hackintosh for about 6 months I am 110% committed to only buying Apple computers from now on. The hackintosh...
