A bit over a year ago, i posted a story where i had been approached by one or more members of the Shuck family in the belief that i was Lauren Shuck.
To recap, i was sent an invitation to join the Shuck Family’s group on Yahoo! groups and i was sent a gift [...]

My colleague Niklas spotted these iPod engravings. Well, turns out that they mis-spelled my name (Laurén, not Lauren), so that’s why i didn’t get one.

I’m way behind in my feeds so it’s only now that i read Robert X. Cringely’s Kindling pulpit from the 7th of December. In it, Bob envisions that the next “innovation” from Apple is a tablet device. I’ve actually been waiting for technology to mature enough for us to see tablets like the one seen [...]

Wow. MadTV make fun of both Steve Jobs and George Walker Bush at the same time (YouTube clip, 4:16).

I’ve been approached by members of the Shuck family, twice now, believing that i’m a relative of theirs named Lauren (fair mix, i say).
First, jjjshuck wants me to join their family Yahoo! group. I send jjjshuck a letter where i explain why i kindly have to decline the invitation and introduce myself for the [...]

Ibland känns det så härligt. Man tycker att man borde skriva nåt intelligent om, i detta fall, Steve Jobs’ nylansering iPhone, men vet att Bob X Cringely ändå kommer att göra det inom en vecka så varför bry sej (dessutom skriver han mycket bättre än jag).
Alltså. iPhone är en snärtig liten leksak. Nokia har redan [...]

A few weeks back, i wrote that some hackers had managed to get one of those new and nifty Macintoshen to dual-boot with OSX and Windows XP. The response i expected from Apple was that this was immoral, illegal… and… just plain wrong and it should be taken away.
Nope.
As an answer, Apple announced Boot Camp, [...]

How to really do evil to your nice and shiny MacBook? Make it dual-boot Windows XP. Ungh
I’m sure this pisses off somebody. At least the purists, aesthetics and Bill Gates.

Jag tänkte för nån vecka sen skriva en kommentar då Disney köpte upp Pixar. Stora pengar byter hand. Koncensusanimatorn köper geekarna med konstnärlig talang. Snyft snyft, orätt är världens lön och en hel fotbolsplan med attityd går i graven. Disney har ju under några år gjort samarbete med Pixar (Toy Story 1 och 2, A [...]

Jepp jepp, Steve Jobs gjorde det alla väntat på — släppte en iPod som visar rörlig bild — men höll ändå sitt löfte att inte släppa en "video iPod". Den uppdaterade grunkan heter nämligen oxå "bara" iPod och att visa videon är liksom bara en egenskap podden har. Så det så. Apple påstår att den [...]
