Lokonopa — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 17:31:56 +0000

An Adobe Flash developer, a Morgan Adams, has given a new argument for Flash support on touchscreen devices. Simply put, it has everything to do with the way a mouse cursor interacts with Flash embedded objects on a webpage. The hovering and mouseover abilities of the cursor usually have a bit of stock in the [...]

Apple Fanboy Bloggers Gush Further Misinformation

Lokonopa — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:42:02 +0000

Two weeks in a row, bloggers. Is this the result of the average blogger repeating a "hot" story without checking the source or is this the result of fan boys and girls gushing over anything Apple? Apple was NOT more profitable selling cell phones than Nokia in Q3 "Recent reports that Apple's phone business generated $1.6 billion [...]

An apparent leak has been revealed that Microsoft will be shipping Windows 7 without Internet Explorer already bundled. While it is not the first time we've seen Microsoft hit with anti-trust lawsuits recently, many can only imagine why no one complains about Apple bundling all of their applications by default without alternatives out of the [...]

It's official: Apple and AT&T gave the middle finger to their loyal existing customers this week. There isn't much to say in regards to the reason why it's a big middle finger, but it's more of a question as to why should everyone care so much. No one really expects AT&T and Apple to give [...]

Lokonopa — Sun, 24 May 2009 09:02:03 +0000

No one can ignore the fact that Microsoft is losing market share. Not to their Apple rival, but to a completely different beast. Microsoft may have a lot to fear now that Linux has become quite a force in a variety of different areas.

While Microsoft will not go under as a company, the prestige and respect that was associated with Windows over the last several years may have been tainted by negative media reports, Steve Ballmer, antitrust issues, and rising alternatives.

Instantaneously Platinum Turkeynized

A young boy has begun to wait outside to be the first in line for Macworld Expo '09. Why? Steve Jobs will not be there, apparently, and this kid is going to wait almost 27 hours for Apple's table scraps regardless if Jobs made an appearance. It makes little sense. People should be used to [...]

Comparing the Big Three

Note: The following is only a comparison. I see this a guide to many in the main areas of Linux, Windows, and Mac operating systems. This in no way rates them. I have over 13 operating systems installed on systems ranging from OS X, Linux, BSD, and Windows. I may have an addiction, but I [...]
