Parallels makes my Macbook "Ultimate"

March 18, 2008 by Jay

UPDATE 11/24/2008- Parallels Desktop 4 Review here.

I have been using computers since Windows 3.1, where icons were the big addition to the operating system.  Always in school we used apple computers.

Last year, my dell laptop had been acting funny.  I finally caved and bought a macbook precisely one year ago.  It’s cool, a lot smaller (I couldn’t afford the larger models, even as a student)

The Cell Phone: A Social Class Indicator

March 9, 2008 by Jay

Have you noticed recently what has happened to the cell phone? It used to be this great device to get in touch with people via the telephone, hence the phone part. But they keep putting more parts into these phones. It’s like adding more genes to a human: the more you add, the more likely the phone is going to be mentally challenged.

March 7, 2008 by Jay

Recently, a huge number of people and places are talking about how good The Prius and other “environmentally friendly” some cars are. This is also what Toyota wants you to think. But seriously think again, because you aren’t saving any sap, you are one.

Screw the electoral college, we should vote via text to Ryan Seacrest

March 6, 2008 by Jay

It’s an election year, which means most television coverage is given to politics and current issues at hand.  The sad part about this, more people will most likely watch American Idol than vote in the election.  This is the sad state of america, but the solution?  We should get rid of the electoral college, and vote via text message to Ryan Seacrest.
