Daily reading (slightly strained): Mac Gaming

As mentioned, I'm super busy, and haven't been keeping up with Daily Reading, but I came across this piece over at Macgasm. What you think? Fair? Unfair? 

iPhone: The rest of the world starts to weigh in

So, the Swedes are saying that us Canucks don't have it all that bad, actually. So are the Danes. I suspect the rollout of people whinging about their iPhone plans will just get louder as the days go on. And still they'll buy em. Not me. Nope. Can't. Sorry. No Rogers. 

Apple Store Edmonton to open July 5

On July 5, Apple will be opening their West Edmonton Store, meaning that as of July, the closest Apple Store will only be about eight hours away. Whehew. Can the Apple Store Chetwynd be that far behind?

So, what the heck's a hub for, anyway

A little bit of a rant. 

Here's the deal. My Drobo? Doesn't really work properly unless it is plugged directly into my Macbook. My Epson Printer will print if it is hooked up to a Hub, but, because it is not like the 2200 at work, it doesn't tell you on the printer which cartridge to replace. Guess what? The printer utility doesn't recognize the printer unless it is hooked directly into the Macbook. So. That leaves me with my iPod charger, my card reader, and my mouse that are plugged into my hub...except my hub isn't plugged in. 

So, what good is a hub, if half the devices won't work if they are plugged into it?

Sigh. I knew I'd be feeling the limitations of a laptop, I just didn't think I'd be feeling them so soon....

Ruined by Rogers?

Well, the backlash continues...Gruber has an alternate link to that site, too....

Thin k the iPhone plans in Canada suck?

Then you can join the facebook group. Currently sitting at three members. 

(Which is about two more than the daily readership of this blog, so who am I to mock?)
