Wolfram Alpha is so freaking cool. That is all.

Tried adding VHD to a running Hyper-V VM yesterday, apparently that isn’t supported. Basic function VMware ESX has had for many years. #fail

Osfoora for Mac looks nice, I used to be a huge fan of the iOS versions. Not sure it’s worth $5 though. mcstr.net/zpPGOz

What a little polish would have done to the new Windows logo istartedsomething.com/20120218/so-ab…

I keep thinking the new Windows logo (and most of Metro) is what happens when you restrict designers to only using MS Paint to do graphics.

The original Windows logo from back in the day wasn’t that bad, put it next to a nice Sans Serif font and it would fit in with modern style.

The only thing worse than dealing with Hyper-V, is having multiple servers and no SCVMM to manage it. The default Windows tools are crap.

Removed Facebook from (new) TweetDeck, the lack of interactive features was making it rather pointless. More functionality from the .com

Older Macs voted off the Mountain Lion island arstechnica.com/apple/news/201…

Looks like OS X 10.7.3 already has GateKeeper baked into it, although it has to be enabled via command line macrumors.com/2012/02/16/gat…

The new Documents in the Cloud functionality makes it obvious why Apple killed iDisk. New approach will be much cleaner.

Apple, thanks for Messages for Mac, now if you could integrate Google Talk into the iOS version I would love you long time. #iwant

The key to iMessages on the desktop (and iPad, for that matter) is convincing all my friends to start using my email address as recipient.

Oh you better believe I’m downloading Messages for Mac apple.com/macosx/mountai…

OS X Mountain Lion looks so freakin sexy, I can’t wait to get my hands on it! techcrunch.com/2012/02/16/os-…

WTF Kansas! www2.ljworld.com/news/2012/feb/…

Clear is out, I don’t really care because I won’t use it, but it’s fun to watch everyone freaking out over a todo list.

Nik is giving away Snapseed for iOS today for free, go get it now, seriously, go itunes.apple.com/us/app/snapsee…

LTE iPad? I’ll believe it when I see it.

The new AT&T U-verse iPad remote app is pretty freaking sweet.

Google-Motorola merger approved in US and Europe neowin.net/news/google-mo…

Initiated the transfer of two more domains from 1and1 to Hover this weekend. I expect it’ll be sometime next year before 1and1 completes it.

OMG WTF EXCLUSIVE: Tom Warren is now 28 years old withinwindows.com/2012/02/13/exc…

Nothing I hate more than waiting on vendor technical support.

Adele is freaking awesome.

Remember what it was like to watch TV and not have Twitter there for snarky social commentary?

Going to stick with Everpix for cloud photo sync/sharing, have a feeling it’ll be really awesome once iPad app arrives.

Not impressed by Adobe Revel. Tried importing my iPhoto library twice and it’s still missing huge chunks of images yet says its done.

In a recent study it was discovered that babies perfer the signing voice of Adele to their own father’s pathetic attempt at carrying a tune.
