Happy Fifth Birthday iPod!



October 23rd of 2001, the iPod was released to the world, and has grown to be the 800-pound-gorilla of the mp3 player market. This after starting as a Mac OS-only piece of hardware, and the ringing endorsement from /. No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame. I still have... [Full Story]

Internet Explorer 7



According to IEBlog, we got the Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP. And by "we," I mean "ya'll," as I don't use Windows XP, but have fun with that. I'll be over here on my Mac, trying desperately how to make sites work in Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer... [Full Story]

Now the iPod has a MySpace page



I wouldn't believe it either, had I not seen it on TUAW. Just what a person would need to bash Apple, the iPod, and MySpace, and the users thereof. Oh, and there's a pink one. There's a green one as well, but I'm more offended by the pink one.... [Full Story]

Google Code Search new, adds password-finding



Okay, so maybe that's a little unfair of a title, but it's getting old feeling sorry for dumb people who upload passwords. Yeah, people uploaded passwords to Google Code. Um, maybe I should explain. Today, Google Code added a search function. So, now, you can search all the code for... [Full Story]

Matt Cutts explains PageRank



Last week, I got asked what the big deal about PageRank changing was. I said it was because it only changes every few months. Turns out I was wrong, but I had no way of verifying one way or the other. Matt Cutts, the guy who works at Google, and... [Full Story]
