Weekly round up... week 1

It's taken me 2 days to get around do doing this..... damn i'm lazy. Anywho, time to get up. I'll start off with that. If you haven't heard, Apple has gone crazy with their law suits against HTC and the other Android phone makers, but, for fear of sounding like a broken record i'll not go into that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm a divider. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- On a brighter side of things, Neil Patrick Harris finally got a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. Now, since i'm not one to spend while day on MTV and VH1 following...

Well wishes for Steve and free Stanford education.

Now, you all (who ever happens to stumble upon this) may know I'm a long time fan of Apple. Wait, did I say fan? I meant hater. But any way, that's beside the point. Read the news yesterday and leu and behold, Steve Jobs has resigned as CEO of Apple. :D I had some other stuff here, but after watching the video above, i can do nothing but respect this man. I'm touched by it and can't think of much else to say on it. I am saddened by the news of his stepping down. He is a brilliant inventor and marketing genius. As much as I've bashed Apple in the past they aren't bad... they just aren't much better than the rest... I would rank them about the same, but still Macs sell for 100s even up to $1000 more than comparable PCs. And there's the bottom line, I've never hated Mac because they were...

Free Stanford education

Something hit my eyes the other day and I couldn't tell whether to believe it or not. A story that Stanford University is going to be running free online classes. Now, according to the information you wouldn't get an actual grade (this is reserved for regular paying students) but you would get a Certification of Completion. Further investigation found this (Stanford Engineering Everywhere) on Stanfords website.....so....it's legit then. Now, there's already thousands of people signed up... as you would expect.... but i don't expect half of that to actually take part, and even less to finish. The classes are run assuming you don't have too much prior knowledge about the field so don't be alarmed if you haven't taken any advanced courses before. Doubt the Cert of Completion will get...

iPhone vs Android vs Windows Phone

If your a sucker for the glitter of commercialism then there's only one choice for you when you go to buy a smartphone, so go buy your iPhone and get out of my sight. I'm not even going to get into that one. Now, for those who have a bit of common sense the choice is a little harder. Recently i've been wanting to go towards HTC Android phones (or maybe Motorola's Android phones), i think this is mostly just the techie in me trying to get out though because beside the hype Android isn't much better than the iPhone. It's certainly not worse than the iPhone and it has more features, but it's slow to respond touchscreen and poor user interface...

Love and Hate

So again I find myself loving something, and hating something. What I love - Where life is leading me. What I hate - the 'stereotypical' black person. Oddly enough they both coincided a few days ago. So, a few days ago I was invited to a car launch by a coworker. I'm not exactly in a position to buy a brand new car yet, but I figured I'd go and take a look, no harm in seeing what's on the market. So we get there, free food, free drinks and some really nice cars. Right about then I'm thinking to myself, this is where I always wanted to be and, fingers crossed, things will keep going up. As I stand there in the middle of the parking lot, drink...

A night on the town... interrupted.

I stepped out into the night, looked up and saw that the night sky was clear, the moon bathing the city in its glow. But quickly I reminded myself that I didn't have time to stop, I was already late. As I sped to my destination I took a few shortcuts, although it was late no-one would dare touch me, or so I thought. As I walk through one especially dark alley I saw a figure suddenly move forward to stand before me. The street light above him flickered, barely giving any shape to the figure before me... I'd have to fix that later. I looked at him and said, "Do you know who I am?" in the most powerful voice I could manage. As he moved...
