AppleTV minor update
Saturday, March 29th, 2008Apple pushed a minor update to AppleTV Take Two sometime yesterday. I haven’t been able to find release notes, so here are the only obvious things: 1. A genre browser within the “My Movies” section. It is very slow when you move between genres. 2. The HDMI switching is still a huge pain. I thought [...]

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008In one of the worst blunders of recent television history, Jericho was cancelled again. The last episode aired last night, with an ending that made it painfully obvious that the show was nowhere close to a logical closing.

The 22-hour long Parallels Desktop Adventure
Wednesday, March 26th, 2008Sometime on Sunday night or early Monday morning, my Windows XP (Parallels Desktop, 10.5.2) started to run like ass. I usually brag that in my Mac Book Pro (Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz) I can have Parallels running with a bunch of crap open, through a VPN, while having another bunch of crap open on [...]
