Stallman smackdown!

(9:10 am) Tags: [Software]

Just finished reading Stallman’s take on the SCO FUD (aka lawsuit). Not only is he clear and concise, this is the first time that I completly agree with EVERYTHING that he said. Well done, Richard. You are the man.

iChat AV

(8:13 am) Tags: [Software]

Just tested out iChat AV. Jason rang me this morning. I answered, we chatted like we were on a cell phone, and then we ended the call. Simple, but two very nice things to note:

  1. iChatAV paused Eminem on iTunes, only to resume playing after Jason hung up. That is just cool.
  2. There was next to no lag. It seemed just like a cell phone call. I had tried Yahoo voice chat previously, and the lag was terrible (read unusable)
.
I wasn’t even using the iSight. Chalk up another Apple win. Now if they only combined MSN and Yahoo IM (hey, maybe even IRC), and they might just be onto something ;)

Network Solutions SUCKS!

(8:03 am) Tags: [General]

Since Rickard is talking about his problems with the asshats doing business by the name Network Solutions, specifically their (complete lack of) customer service, I thought that I might just have a few words to say about that as well:

Network Solutions wouldn’t know what a customer even looked like, with the exception of all the faxed in driver’s license photos they receive.

I was using Network Solutions for all my domains, until I actually looked around and found that I was getting raped since the deregulation. So I decide to switch. Let me just say, that canceling AOL service is a pleasure compared to switching away from Network Solutions. After 6 weeks of run around, I finally switched to another provider, and I must say that I feel so much better. I am receiving mediocre to fair service at my current provider, and I am so elated! I am not even thinking about switching :) While I cannot reccomend my current provider, I can absolutely reccomend that you stay away from Network Solutions and their piss poor customer service.

I’m with you Rickard!
