A South Dakota Moderate

You may or may not have noticed that things here were awful quiet yesterday. For months I have been fighting a very temperamental Microsoft Vista PC that often would not shut down, wouldn’t let me install programs or drivers, and just was a general pain in the a**. All during those months I had been [...]

Those that have read this blog for awhile probably know by now my obsession with Apple’s iPhone and news that the newest 3G version could be released as soon as late next month has me salivating.
According to cellpassion, AT&T’s pulling a similar move as Apple did last year, disallowing any employee vacations for a period [...]

Just a bit of shameless advertising here to let my handful of readers know that I am selling my prized Microsoft Zune MP3/Video player on eBay. Along with everything Microsoft includes I am also including an extra sync cable, a leather case with belt clip, and a Belkin Tunebase car charger with FM transmitter.
If you’ve [...]

Some ideas take forever to come out and when they do they are so obvious and useful you just have to say, what took so long? You know, iPods, cell phones, sliced bread, peanut butter and jelly…
Of course with others you might say, it should have taken longer. I am not quite sure which category [...]

Buried within Apple CEO Steve Jobs’ keynote speech today could be the shortest victory dance in tech history. Many might be focusing on the cool MacBook Air that weights 3 lbs and is only 3/4 of an inch thick at it’s thickest but what I got out of the announcements could be the real end [...]

Anyone of my generation probably remembers the old console TV’s, you know the big 25 inch sets encased in wood (or some reasonable facsimile) that sat on your floor. Nowadays, everything is made of plastic that if not recycled, ends up filling our landfills. If you have a wish to go back to those good [...]

Work will be taking up most of my time this week so here are just a few quick items for you to browse through while I slave away in Sioux Falls and Watertown for the next few days.
Denise Ross discusses over at the Hog House blog what Tom Daschle has been up to lately including [...]

Remember the scene from the Schwarzenegger classic sci-fi flick “Total Recall” where a machine scanned the bodies of arriving passengers on Mars looking for weapons? At the time it seemed quite a ways out based on the technology of the day, but not anymore. About a year ago I mentioned a new airport security tool [...]

Not much time today as I am West River bound but I thought I would post some thoughts regarding the Apple press conference from yesterday. First off regular readers probably know my utter disdain for how Apple and especially AT&T handled their exclusive raping of those that wanted the new iPhone. Yesterday Apple finished off [...]

Not satisfied with excluding a noticeable portion of the US population including many of us here in South Dakota by not providing service not to mention the friends they aren’t making by charging users early termination fees even though they insist on charging full price for the phones, AT&T continues to do whatever it can [...]

The iPhone is starting to cause quite a bit of buzz, not only in the tech world but on Capitol Hill as well. A few weeks back I wrote about the iPhone and how you might as well forget about it here in South Dakota. Since then I have been following the progress of this [...]

The next coolest thing in the gadget world makes it’s debut on Friday and if your itching to get one, good luck. Is it because the lines will be long and the quantities short? Nope, you will not see the iPhone in South Dakota because Apple has an exclusive deal with AT&T and even this [...]
