So I joined the reset of the natural world not long ago and splurged for a Smartphone.

Before, I could never really justify paying hundreds of dollars for a bunch of stuff I would never use. But since my memory seems to be getting worse on a daily basis, I needed some sort of calendar/task list and I got a crazy deal on one.. so I couldn’t pass it up.  

In a strange move, Microsoft will be reducing the price of Windows Vista, but only on Ultimate and Home Premium editions, and only for upgrades from XP. 

Man, I really haven't been more excited about a toy coming out in a long time.. well, i'm sure i'll get some hate mail saying that laser tag isn't a toy.. but come on people, it's ok to play with toys sometimes.  

The countdown has begun, Windows XP will no longer be sold as OEM or shrinkwrapped on June 30th.  White-box system builders can sell it through December 31st, but who even buys from those guys anymore? 

Ok, so you're in the market for a good mp3 player.  There are about a billion out there, but two stand out above the rest.  Microsoft's Zune and Apple's iPod.  Which one is better?  Let's take a look at the specs. 

In truth, iPod doesn't really stand for anything, it's not an acronym or anything.  There is some sort of meaning behind it though in a way, though it's a little indirect. 

Ok, so it's been about a year, and still no windows vista service pack.  Sure, there's a beta, but who really wants to mess with that?  You could end up worse off than your current Vista install. 

We don't know much about Google's plans for their Gphone, but does what we do know about it make it an iPhone killer? 

I have a close friend that does a civilian job in Iraq, and I knew that he got payed some insane wage over there, but I also knew that he used to be in the army, and he's doing a specific job that only army people are commonly trained for.  The other day I found out that there are a lot more jobs over there than I thought, also paying insane amounts of money.
