A legendary man in the home and small business computer field died this past Sunday, Jack Tramiel. Founder of Commodore. He made history with the PET, VIC-20 and Commodore 64. My first computer was a VIC-20. Later I got a C-64, and eventually a C-128. After that point the writing was on the wall for… Read More »
I have fond memories of Tin Tin comics and cartoons from when I was little. I certainly will not have fond memories of this horrible movie. The Adventures of Tin Tin is incredibly boring. And the characters oversized swollen heads and hands was distracting at best. I haven’t researched the tech behind this movie. But… Read More »
Chance Crawford (of Gossip Girl) plays a young drug dealer with emotional and social issues. Twelve is a dark and mildly disturbing ride in White Mike’s life, as he and his friends slide down hill to even darker depths. It’s an interesting story, on the dark and depressing side of life. Reasonably well done. Chance… Read More »
I’m still using the Google Nexus One cell phone. I have two actually. Some time ago the Voice Dialling feature stopped working. Until today I wasn’t able to figure out why. I was sure it used to work. The reason is due to a bug in the last version or two of Android 2.x, as… Read More »
Immortals is a Greek myth period piece. I found that they didn’t give preferential treatment to any one lead character; the hero, the villain, or the hero’s girlfriend to be. Usually that’s a sign of a story that never works for the audience. In this case it didn’t matter. The movie is riveting even though… Read More »
Poor Sinbad must be rolling in his grave (if he ever was a real person that is) cause this Sinbad adventure movie is ridiculously bad. If a high school theatre group was given a budget that allowed them to make a movie, and add some really bad special effects, this is what you would get.… Read More »
What’s the deal with FireFox 10? I have to wonder if it’s just me, or do other people also have a sluggish response to using version 10 after a couple of days. For many version iterations, FF has had a memory leak issue, where it would consume all your system and paging memory till your… Read More »
I’ve seen many versions of The Three Musketeers in my lifetime. But this is the first where some characters had Middle Age “James Bond” style gadgets or fought like Ninjas. The Three Musketeers in all movie versions had “James Bond” style luck and above average skills. After all they are our heroes. But they went… Read More »
Like all us PlayBook owners, I’ve been waiting far to long for the final version of OS 2.0. Saying and thinking OS 2.0 is weird for me. I was also one of the few people that used IBM’s OS/2 back in the day, not unlike being one of the few people with a PlayBook. So… Read More »
Cameron Diaz stars as a ladder climbing, back stabbing, wallet snagging, short sighted, opportunistic pretty woman. Who is teaching till she manages to snag up the next half witted guy with some money. While we watch she matures enough to see yourself for who she is, drops some expectations and settles for a run-of-the-mill nice… Read More »
