Meg Whitman is currently running for office of Governor of the State of California. Unfortunately, she’s not only exaggerating to gain favor-ability but she’s now been found, on numerous counts, of outright lying. See this site for a handful of examples.

One of her other commercials is about her tenure at eBay. One of the many re-framed “achievements” was being a hero to small businesses because eBay allows small businesses to operate a “store” through eBay. Unfortunately, she fails to mention that she raised eBay’s fees on those small businesses SIX times…during a bad economy!

Meg Whitman is yet another ultra-conservative that sacrifices the middle class for her own gain. Meg Whitman is dangerous. Meg Whitman is a guaranteed failure. Meg Whitman’s own Republican party questions her viability. See this link.

Please don’t pass on your opinions, pass on FACTS to your friends, families and co-workers. Meg Whitman commercials plaster the media simply because once she was ousted from eBay she was able to walk away with $125 million dollars that she now uses to advertise her lies to the unsuspecting population of California.

Don’t take my word for it. Or hers. I ask you simply to check the facts, then pass on what you learn to everyone who needs to know.

During Apple’s press conference on July 16th about the iPhone 4′s exposed antenna weakness, Steve Jobs offered all iPhone 4 customers a free case to remedy the problem. During the conference he expressed that there would be a way to place orders for the case “by the end of next week.” Which was last Friday. I received an email requesting that I download the iPhone 4 case app to place my order… (more…)

Big headline! “Tropical Depression Races Toward BP’s Leaky Well.” How does the reporter that wrote that article know this? Are they a meteorologist? Do they have some weather prediction skills the rest of us don’t know about? No and no. Actually, after I read that one and researched a couple other sources meteorologists don’t quite know yet if it’s headed in that direction. The author wasn’t predicting the weather, they were attracting eyeballs to their article. Why? I think a couple of reasons, not the least of which is because they value their job. (more…)

Not so fast Google! Why are you trying to secretly discontinue one of your mobile phone ventures? Yes, the once purported “iPhone Killer” has itself died. Or at least put out of its misery by it’s creator. Google is discontinuing it’s Nexus One smart phone (more…)

Apple held their long anticipated (2 days) iPhone 4 “antenna problem” conference just moments ago. Opening the conference with a video poking fun at the media for over-hyping the whole thing to begin with. Wait, the media over-hyping something!? NOOOooooo!!! As Steve Jobs emerges to present this morning, he indicates that this will be a brief 15 minute announcement.

With a history of world class customer service, and (more…)

Adobe has published a full page ad in the latest chapter in the ongoing Apple, Adobe, Flash saga. The ad’s headline reads “We Love Apple” with a giant heart representing the word “Love.”

The ad goes on to say what Adobe DOES NOT Love about Apple.

Now, I’m not going to write an extensive piece on Tech Titan Passive-aggressivism. This is simply meant to be an extension of the original article Apple, Adobe…The New Tech War?.

Many are trying to paint Apple as an evil corporate tech giant trying to control the world and its content. However, all of Apple’s developer tools for the devices in question (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch) are free of charge. Anyone can develop HTML 5 (Apple’s replacement for Flash video on these devices) for free. No licensing, no paid developer tools, no plugins. Adobe is the one who loses money if Flash finally dies its overdue death. Adobe is the Desktop Publishing industry’s Microsoft.

I’ve downgraded my Adobe “rating” from “I like them” to “I accept them.”

Steve, thank you for protecting the integrity of your products and the unparalleled user experience of your products. Keep up the good work!

Since the release of Apple’s iPad, and with it Apple’s ongoing commitment to HTML5 and open standards for video,there have been tech industry pot shots going back and forth between Adobe and Apple virtually everyday about Apple’s decision to discontinue support for Adobe’s Flash technology. Now, with an open letter written by Steve Jobs made public the other day, it seems these pot shots have now become all out war. (more…)

Advance warning…this is a bit of a rant (but an accurate, informative one!)

In typical Microsoft fashion, their CES 2010 Keynote Address was sleepy, boring and just plain uninspiring.  These were the comments coming out of the industry not long after it was over.  In a new year where we are all looking for a new beginning, Microsoft has the stage and chooses to put us to sleep.

So on every news station and every tech blog and web site, the airwaves and the web pages are buzzing with speculation about Google’s Nexus Smartphone.  The video I keep seeing shows a touchscreen smartphone with a 3D spinning galaxy in the background.  Woooooooo how nifty!

Ummm…can you explain something to me?  How does that spinning 3D galaxy help me make a better phone call or organize my contacts more efficiently? (more…)

It shouldn’t be such a far flung idea, switching to the Metric system.  Right now we do have more important things to deal with, but can’t we get the ball rolling finally on this whole Metric system thing? (more…)
