The keyboard problem I talked about in my previous blog is now fixed! I don’t have the wireless network connection problem either! It’s been fixed in previous bug fixes. Now my MacBook running Leopard is perfect. 🙂

Leopard on a Macbook – My Verdict
More than a week since I got my MacBook, my first Mac, and I think I am ready to write my review. I definitely love it more than my previous Sony Vaio. The Vaio had a better screen and better speakers but that’s just about it. The MacBook wins in all other aspects. I love…
Calling Philippine Mobiles from Japan
After doing some simple research, I’ve discovered Skype offers the cheapest way to call Philippine Mobiles from Japan at 33 yen/min. If you know of alternatives, do let me know. Right now, I use Skype when I’m home and Softbank otherwise.
The Leopard Beckons
Macintosh OS 10.5 a.k.a. Leopard is out and it beckons. I am seriously considering one, most likely in the form of an iMac 20-inch. I’ve never owned a Mac before but in my head right now, there’s this big debate on whether to make “the big switch” or not. Thanks largely to the iPod, Macs…
Friendster vs Facebook
A few weeks ago, I received an email from “Facebook” saying I was invited by a friend to join Facebook and that I was tagged in one of her pictures. “Yet another social networking site?”, I told myself thinking about my social networking account at Friendster. Fastforward a few weeks… I am now loving Facebook,…
Dell Sucks
I’ve always loved Dell… until now. I ordered my laptop last August 2nd and back then, the expected date of delivery was first week of September. The other day, they sent me an email saying it may further be delayed. Fuck that! Yesterday, I canceled my order.
Vista is Coming
Last week. I ordered me a Dell XPS M1330. After much consideration, I decided not to wait for OS X Leopard and just get me the latest and greatest Vista. Ultimate no less. Why Ultimate? So it can support downloading the English pack and switching everything to English. I also customized it to come with…
Information Overload
In just a matter of a three days, I was able to… Cable TV is good for the brains but not for the body.
Picasa Slideshows
Google Picasa has this new feature where you can create slideshows from any of your albums and post them to your website. Here’s a slideshow of pictures from my “Starred” Album, an album where I put all my favorite pictures. http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf Enjoy!
Dell and Ubuntu
It seems that Dell will be releasing computers with Ubuntu pre-installed. It’s about time! Notwithstanding my previous rant about Firefox and YouTube, I believe Ubuntu is ready for prime time. I really do. My Sony laptop has been running Ubuntu for the past 4 months (!) already and I don’t feel like coming back to…
Firefox and YouTube
When using Ubuntu‘s latest 7.04 (codename Feisty) release, Firefox and YouTube don’t work well together. Firefox hangs when exploring the YouTube site!!! This bug is so irritating, I believe it is enough to stop a LOT of people from using Firefox and Ubuntu altogether. Too bad. This had to happen just when I was starting…
Orange iPod Shuffle
How many times have you lost something and as you look for a replacement, you end up getting something identical to the one you lost? That happens to me a lot… shoes… shirts… wallets. It happened again today. A few weeks ago, I lost my orange iPod shuffle. Today, I bought a brand new orange…
