  Poor Microsoft. One of these days Bill Gates is just going to walk up to Steve Jobs and backhand him.

  Could Vista be the final nail in the coffin?

  07.26.07 | Permalink | 4 Comments

  I had this thought while driving to work today. As a lot of you know, I split my time pretty evenly between Windows XP and OS X, and I’m quite happy doing so. I’ve been a Windows user for as long as I can remember and an OS X user for a little over a [...]

  Dear Santa,
  The first thing I want is a huckleberry attachment for my MacBook. It’s a little webcam mirror that will turn the built-in webcam around and allow me to shoot things in front of me. I can’t think of a practical use for this, but I want it nonetheless.

  The second thing I’d [...]

  Don’t hate OS X, it loves you

  Four of us were sitting at my friends house a about a week ago, when I brought up some interesting news stories I read about Apple’s OS X vs. Windows Vista. Now, when you’re sitting in a room full of avid Windows users, it’s interesting to see how instantly hostile they can get towards Apple, [...]

  Three reasons sites break in Internet Explorer 7.
  This is a great write-up by Swedish blogger Roger Johansson. From my experiences over the last month, I would say he hit the hammer right on the head. This is what he had to say:

  Sites that have an XML declaration before the DOCTYPE, making IE 6 use [...]

  IE7 problem fixed

  11.01.06 | Permalink | Comment?

  I finally fixed the IE7 problem that plagued this site, although it’s really only a temporary fix. It’s also a very ugly fix. I had to use a conditional comment in my code which detects Internet Explorer 7 browsers and then loads a separate CSS file.

  <!–[if IE 7]>
  <link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”../wp-content/themes/skyecade/ie7_hacks.css” />
  < ![endif]–>

  Internet Explorer 7 has been out for about a week now and my head is already spinning. For those of you who are not using this <sarcasm>fabulous</sarcasm> piece of software and can’t see the horrible mess my website has become, have a look for yourself. Isn’t it fantastic?. As you can see, the lists in [...]

  Which OS are you?

  I took this little personality quiz which helped me to discover my inner OS (Operating System). I’m not really surprised by the results.

  Which OS are You?
  I love the last line in the description. Especially the part where it says “even desired”. So true, so true.

  GetReady for Vista!

  Microsoft’s new website, GetReady, lists the minimum PC requirements for Windows Vista due out some time next year. There will be multiple versions of this operating system released, which means multiple minimum requirements. Below are requirements for the basic and premium versions of Vista. Spotted this over at the Travelin’ Librarian.
