Adobe engages Apple in passive aggressive warfare with iPhone's Flash message {Engadget}
Nov 2nd 2009 3:10PM Despite my general love of Macs, this blocking of Flash is ridiculous.
Apple's darling HTML5 won't become truly standard until:
1) Microsoft adopts it in the next version or two of IE (not likely given their push for Silverlight)
2) Web developers adopt it (also not likely until final-spec HTML5 is on at least 2/3rds of web browsers in global use, including IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, etc.)
Droid here I come!
Verizon confirms: Palm Pre hitting Big Red "early next year" {Engadget}
Oct 17th 2009 12:16PM I can just see this tweet coming out any time now from a certain well-known Sprint exec:
@VZWOffers Incorrect. Our exclusive on the Palm Pre is until mid-2010.

Motorola Droid startup teased, obnoxious robot voice and all (video) {Engadget}
Oct 16th 2009 9:22AM And it sounds a lot like the voice in The Crystal Method's Divided By Night... I wonder if they had anything to do with the startup voice?

Sniff & Shift: Porsche Design completes the package with new scent, driving shoes {Autoblog}
Oct 5th 2009 9:30AM I've tried the (original) Porsche Design fragrance at Von Maur here in Fort Wayne, and it's a very good scent... cool and sporty, but different, if you know what I mean. If you like Armani's Acqua di Gio, you just might like this one. Look forward to trying the Intense as well. (I know that Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, and Neiman Marcus also sell it, but the nearest ones are a distance away.)
Surprisingly, one salesman at the local Porsche dealer had never heard of the Porsche Design fragrance when I told him about it.
In progress: List of shuttered Game Crazy locations; MW2 Prestige pre-order, general pre-order, credits details {Joystiq}
Oct 1st 2009 11:57AM The Fort Wayne store closings don't shock me at the very least. In these cases, Kroger (yes, the supermarket) is taking over the rest of both of those building that they don't occupy to expand and renovate their stores (the Dupont Road store is expanding into a "Kroger Marketplace"), and adjacent stores moved out eons ago in preparation for the new, bigger Kroger.
Oh well.. at least I know where I can score some cheap Wii games.
Microsoft's training materials teach Best Buy employees how to trash Linux {Engadget}
Sep 8th 2009 11:57AM Ditto. Tried an Ubuntu VM on my Mac just to see what it was like (after all, Linux is free, so what would I have to lose). Turns out I had the hardest time just trying to install the VMware drivers that it needed to function properly on the Mac. Other than that, it was nice.
Still, I probably will retry a Linux setup at one point, but on a dedicated computer such as an inexpensive netbook. The OS has so much potential.

Sep 8th 2009 11:49AM Ever heard of the Windows "Laptop Hunters" ads? In many cases false, but effective.
Trust me, you'll see an anti-Mac training series for Windows 7 just like this soon...

Sep 8th 2009 11:44AM Watch for the similar Mac-bashing training material from Microsoft to push Windows in 3... 2... 1... then the war will get thermonuclear!
