Today, I want to talk to you to a long, but finite, sequence of random ones and zeroes. This sequence is thousands and thousands of digits long. Part of this particular sequence looks like this: It certainly seems random, and so it is. One can almost imagine that this sequence was produced…

Women throws cat in trash →

It is best I do not put online what I want to happen to this lady. Suffice to say, it makes me very angry.

Motorola's Android 2.2 Rollout: What a Mess →

I’m really done considering Android for a while. By my own checklist, Android has fewer positives and more negatives than iPhone. Being supposedly “open” just doesn’t do it for me. iPhone has better games anyhow.

Marco and Verizon Billing →

I have stated many times that I want to leave AT&T just to spite the assholes but stories like this remind me that all companies pretty much just view us as money piñatas.

How does this make Android better than iPhone?

Everyone talks about how great Android is because it’s all open. Never mind it’s a bit rough around the edges, you can do whatever you like to it! No Apple telling what you can do, that’s for sure. Take that, The Man! Well, it’s true! Google is (mostly) open and makes a fine (mostly) open OS. And really, I like Google as company much, much more than Apple. Unfortunatly, a...

My predictions for the iPhone press conference

It will ultimately solve nothing, be disappointing, and condescendingly pat all the “babies” on the head.

Dear Apple: Stop being a dick about iPhone 4

Marco has posted a great article about the hardware flaws in iPhone 4 and Apple’s insulting responses to those problems. In addition, they are now deleting conversations on their forums about Consumer Report’s recommendation to NOT buy the phone until the issues are fixed. More and more, I see I have dodged a bullet in buying iPhone 4, which is aggravating because I still think...

I’m not featured as my beard is more modest and not epic. Clearly, Red Storm is the home for beards.

Crossing Fingers for a 2011 iPhone 4

I still want an iPhone 4 because it has a lot of nice features (and I’m a gadget whore) but I think AT&T’s fuck up with pre-ordering might have saved me. First, Apple will likely eventually go to Verizon. Yes, no one has officially confirmed it and AT&T has an exclusivity contract, but contracts can get cancelled, Android is rapidly gaining ground through competing networks,...
