About four years ago, I decided I had enough of being the family tech support guy and through in my Windows towel for good. Last week, I close the door to Windows in my work life as well… well almost, I still have to connect to Windows Servers, but I am no longer letting a heavy and underpowered Dell Laptop with a track pad that can only be used by contortionists and 4 year olds rule my life. Last week, I bought one of the brand new Apple MacBook Pro with an Intel i5 chip in it. And let me just say, that I’m actually rather upset that I did not do this any sooner. Go ahead Eric, you can call me a Fanboy now, I’ll wait for you to finish your little rant about how I could have bought a Aston Martin or put my kids through college buy now… OK? Can I continue now?

Nearly Live from the Wendyhouse Studios of Valois Bay… The Dads have now discovered that Schultzter has been living in the second floor Kitchen and Bathroom showrooms of Home Depot rather than finishing his home renovations. This week they talk a little more about Google Buzz, Crossing the Social Streams and the 2010 [...]  7 Minutes of Passion, 7 Hours of Pain We do a lot of Windows bashing here at 2FatDads.com and in all fairness we usually have been given many good reasons to be so negative about the aging and flailing Microsoft OS. We’ll been using it since the Windows 3 days and most of us are very knowledge at making it do our will. Even though I got rid of all the Windows machines in my house over 2 years ago, I continue to use and Dell Latitude e6400 at work. In fact I am writing this very post after hours on it… but more on that later. For now, I’m going to try to explain the title. UPDATED See end of post. Continue reading 7 Minutes with Windows 7 Part 1 and part 2 of this ongoing series looked at visual clues that Google didn’t really believe in their mantra of “Do no evil.” In this installment I’m going to investigate some operational evilness on Google’s part. I’m a big, big, really big, fan of Google’s products and services. But what would you call a company that freely provides a really great, revolutionary product, and starts slowly, incrementally building on that product, until one day your universe revolves around that company’s products – but the moment you want to take your business elsewhere you find out that “no, sorry, we won’t let you do that!” I’m sure all of you said “M I C R O S O F T” and you’d be right. But if you heard a little voice in the back yelling “G O O G L E” then that would have been me and I’d be just as right! Here’s what I’m talking about… We go Bing Bung Bang Bong for the latest Microsoft search engine, Eric’s dishwasher is declared a death trap on fire and Bell’s throttling ruins my movie night with the kids. |
