AllFacebook.com, The Facebook User Manual
February 18th, 2009 · No Comments
I can’t help it, I’m a fan of privacy. Yes, I like the red carpet and the public eye. Papparazi swarming around. But I like to have the option of scratching those places that no one else needs to see me scratch, once in a while. If you’re on Facebook, you might want to take [...]

February 16th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Facebook, More Like Thiefbook
February 15th, 2009 · No Comments
Facebook has a new Terms of Service agreement that gives them full rights to any content you post there forever. Seems like a total rip to me. Be interesting to see how this shakes out as I can’t believe they’ll find a way to defend this stance for very long. Currently, my blog is re-published [...]

I had resisted for a long time because I wasn’t sure I really needed another social networking site, and also because I was concerned about privacy and security.

XBox 360 and Netflix
July 15th, 2008 · No Comments
Well, I’ve been awaiting this announcement for a while, about Netflix on-demand movies being available via the XBox 360. Thing is, you have to be an XBox Live Gold subscriber to do it. What a rip-off! I have to pay Microsoft money to watch movies from Netflix on their console? You would think they’d want [...]

The Microsoft Interactive Table
May 30th, 2007 · No Comments
I actually got to see the Microsoft PlayTable a bit ago, but I wasn’t able to actually talk about it. They finally announced the product officially yesterday, and I found this very kewl video up on YouTube. I have to say, once in a great while you look at something in the technology world, and [...]
