I started blogging relatively recently, which means that while my audience has been increasing steadily, it is still relatively small. That is why I was quite surprised to see the response I got to my most recent posts. Two days ago, I wrote about a web-site called yourminis.com. It is a great site and I […]
I just watched the latest MacWorld video podcast which discusses the launch of a beta release of Photoshop CS3 for existing Photoshop customers. While I am sure that pro Mac users will be very pleased to be able to finally use this great app at full speed on modern Apple hardware, I cannot avoid wondering […]
Every time I read articles in which the author is amazed by the alleged ability of teenagers to effectively multitask I can’t avoid frowning. It is true that we can all see examples around us of young people chatting simultaneously with countless friends while listening to music or watching TV, but does it really mean […]

He mentioned that people can now use their digital content on their iPod, in their cars and on their computers. The next step is to be able to access that content from the living room on large TVs through […]
In the fifties, in most countries there was a single TV channel. This made it a very coveted media for politicians, who bitterly fought over control of TV news in order to influence voters. This fight for control of mass media continued until recently. In the 90s there was much concern that a media mogul […]
Over the last few months we have been bombarded with news of malware for the Mac. However, Macintosh users are very skeptical because despite all the noise, we still have to see one of those mythical Don’t get me wrong, it is just a matter of time before a Trojan causes some damage on our […]
As expected, today Saddam Hussein was sentenced to death. The head of a regime based on terror certainly deserved a harsh punishment for his acts. The defense argument that Saddam did not order the slaughter of Kurds as a Shiites after they tried to free themselves from his ruthless rule is simply childish and unsustainable. […]
