I don’t remember when this episode aired, but it’s an exact representation how morning news isn’t reporting news anymore. Keep it real with Jon Stewart and Steve Colbert.

Hands on: A Mac fan takes on Vista
Lots of bling make Vista eye-candy, but function doesn’t always follow form.
“One of the first things a longtime Mac user will notice about Windows is the look. This isn’t your father’s (or mother’s) Windows. It’s superficially Mac-like — as if Microsoft, rather than coming up with a more [...]

I wasn’t forced to get my master’s, but I was recommended/encouraged to do so by my mom, which normally means, “you better do it or else I’ll keep bringing it up until you do it.” I’m only, what, 3 weeks into my first semester at GWU and I’m already disliking it. It might [...]

According to the Forbes Rich List, all 400 persons are worth at least $1 billion. Topping the chart is, as usual, Bill Gates bringing home the turkey with $53 billion. Other rich people include Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who each made $13 million per day over the past two years. [...]

Well, maybe, but it’s been brought to my attention on WSJ.com. It’s ironic (or coincidental?) that my boyfriend showed me this article because just yesterday, I read an article on Robert Scoble’s blog about how advertising on the web is ineffective, namely, Yahoo’s ad banners suck ass.

Old news, but I haven’t the chance to blog about it yet.

And over the mice in the barley sheaves;
Yellow the leaves of the rowan above us,
And yellow the wet wild-strawberry leaves.
The hour of the waning of love has beset us,
And weary and worn are our sad souls now;
Let us part, ere the season of [...]

I’ve come to realize that my book reviews come long after I actually finish reading the book (I think I finished this two weeks ago).
And I’m embarrassed to say that although I hate chick flicks and anything that could make me emotionally vulnerable, I really enjoyed “The Red Tent” by Anita Diamant. [...]

I stumbled upon this ad in BusinessWeek. Needless to say, I’m a huge fan of luxury, and even more so if the condo comes fully furnished like the hotel. It’ll be like living at the W Hotel, except I’d actually own it. Fucking sweet.

I know this is a little late, but seeing as I’m actually fucking busy at work these days, I don’t keep up with my tech news like before.
But here it is from Engadget loaded with pictures about the newly upgraded iPod. Now in 30GB ($249) and 80GB ($349) with longer lasting battery life, running [...]
