DISQUS- Commenting platform for your Blog
Posted on 16. Oct, 2009 by zevmo.
Like most people, I think the default comments section in WordPress sucks. WordPress, as a platform, is probably one of the best. I have used others, but WP is now grown into a very powerful tool-set, with so many plug-in choices, auto-install and updates. The biggest weakness for most sites is the comments section. You [...]

Google Wave… preview
Posted on 07. Oct, 2009 by zevmo.
I recently got access to Google Wave, and I am looking forward to using it and giving it a good stretch off. The real power of GW is using it with other users. Hopefully, I will find a whole bunch of other users that also have access to the preview. So, if you use Wave, [...]

Question: Should I switch from the Cablevision Scientific Atlanta 8300HD to a Tivo DVR?
Posted on 14. Sep, 2009 by zevmo.
I am one of the lucky few who is trapped into Cablevision‘s service plan. Where I live in Northern NJ, we have lots of trees (Dish/DirecTV is out), and we are in a part of town that has no Verizon FiOS b/c of a crappy Englewood Central Office upgrade that has been taking forever. Alas, [...]

There are a lot of online storage companies out there, and I have tried about 4 of them (iDrive, Mozy, JungleDisk (S3), and Carbonite on Windows). I have a large need for storage; my iTunes (600GB) and iPhoto (250GB) libraries are getting unruly. Unfortunately, I haven’t broken down to get a Drobo yet… damn, do [...]

I’m a Mac… and why MS is unbalanced
Posted on 19. Aug, 2009 by zevmo.
I have to tell you, this is my favorite “I’m a Mac..” commercial. It reminds me of my last trip to Florida when I needed to get some old RAM for a 5 year old laptop. They no longer carried it in the big-box stores, so we ended up going to a local “Computer Repair [...]

Blackberry Storm 2 9550… disappointing
Posted on 17. Aug, 2009 by zevmo.
A BB Storm 2 review has been posted on YouTube. I am not trying to hate on BlackBerry, but they make it so damn easy. I don’t get what the Software OS group at RIM have been up to the last 4 years. Seriously, just look at the Palm Pre and realize, your UI looks [...]
