    What is wrong with you people? Why aren’t more of you using Firefox?! Granted it’s a pretty close race, but I’d really like to see Firefox take the lead.

    Sound off in the comments, let me know what browser you’re using and why.

  • Meet Walter

    This is Walter 2.0, my latest Lego creation. He stands 16.25″ high, and is 10″ wide at his shoulders.

    I built the first version last Christmas when my cousins were visiting, I have since found a few minutes to refine the design. The biggest thing I’ve changed is I’ve added a central nervous system 😉

    What makes Walter so special, aside from the fact he can scare small children? Well for that you’ll have check out the video after the jump…

  • 1.1.5 Firmware Coming Soon?

    Word on the street is that Apple may be preparing to release version 1.1.5 of the iPhone/iPod touch firmware, no word on an exact time frame, however, some time in the next few weeks seems likely.

  • Apple Mail-In Repair

    I mailed my iPhone in for repair a couple weeks ago and the response time was fantastic, four days from start to finish and I had my phone back. On March 28th, I sent my Macbook Pro in for repairs. I’d taken it to the Apple Store in Omaha and they said they couldn’t replace my screen in store because they didn’t have the part on hand, and it would take about three weeks if they ordered the part, but if I sent it in things would go much faster as the repair depot had the part on hand.

    So, on their advice I sent my computer in, I was assured that I would have it back by next Friday at the latest (4/4/08). Monday (3/31/08) the status was listed as “Repair in progress” for a grand total of about three hours, after which it was listed as “On hold – Part on order”… Now wait a minute, I thought the whole idea for sending it in was that they had the part on hand! Oh well, as long as I get my computer back by Friday.

    Well, as of the time I finished writing this (10am on 4/3/08) the status has not changed. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt, but if the repair isn’t finished today I highly doubt my computer will arrive by Friday as promised.

  • Firefox 3 Beta 5 Released

    The latest version of the Firefox 3 Beta was just released today, head over to their download page to grab a copy.

    Edit: After running it for the last few hours, I think I can safely say this version is a solid improvement over the last build. Although memory usage seems to have increased slightly over the previous build.
