I had posted an article on what I hated about Sayuri, and I guess it’s time I say what I love, nay, lurve about her.

While email is the pillar in e-commerce, there is a need for faster means in telecommunication. There is IM, VoIP, and even video VoIP. What do these letters mean? read on. [Read more…]

I’ve been a rabid Microsoft anti-evangelist, or however you’ll call me in this blog. Now is the time to expose my hypocritical underbelly.

The Live CD Beckons
As I have said before, I’m a big fan of Open Source. None more rabid for Ubuntu Linux and Canonical, Ltd. It helps that Mark Shuttleworth is cute, too.

My Gripes on My Macbook.
I’ve been rabidly anti-Windows lately, and with reason. But this time, I will gripe on my Macbook, Sayuri. I had gotten her from my aunt just this March. Its price on Apple was at $1099. Its specs are: 60GB hard drive, 1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and 512MB RAM, combo drive. Today, Apple’s $1099 has an 80GB hard drive, 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB of RAM, and still a combo drive. Whoa, look at the difference.

My take on Steve and Bill
Before I fell in love with Linux and OS X, I was already starting to hate Windows because of the virus attacks, bugs, and the annoying reminders to get a licensed copy. And with all these annoyances, I started to hate Bill Gates with it.
When I became a Mac user, I drank in the culture of Bill-hating and Steve-loving, without understanding why I jumped on the bandwagon. So I decided to be fair and find out their personalities, so I would know if I’m hating the right person.
My sources were the writeups I managed to bump into online, and the movie Pirates of Silicon Valley. Thus this is not a very reliable analysis of the character profiles of these two computer industry giants. Nonetheless, this is Bill and Steve, from Dummygeekgurl’s perspective.

Cold Fire Sweeping Through My Body: Near-Data-Loss-Experience
Today, cold fire flashed through me as I saw that after using iSync to synchronize my Motorola SLVR L7 contacts with my Macbook’s AddressBook, all the data in my AddressBook disappeared.
Single or Dual?
Processor core, that is. Which one would you prefer? I know that most, if not all of us, would definitely scream, “dual core”!!! [Read more…]
twitter keeps me sane.
You are in the middle of a killer report, but you have the urge to tell someone what you’re doing at the moment. You really have to. So you aim your mouse for Yahoo! Messenger. Then you find a friend. Then you tell your friend. End of story? Relief? Itch scratched?!
Wrong!!! You just engaged yourself in an hour-long conversation that may set you back for three hours, because it stretches that long! Anne just broke up with a boyfriend, Bryan had a fantastic vacation, Cheryl is raving over her new baby, and you, YOU… Are way overdue on your killer report! So what do you do now?!
Radioactive Microsoft Windows
With the entrance of Vista on the market, the consumer is left wondering: which way do I go? Shall I ride the wave of change, shell out the money and upgrade, or shall I just throw in the towel and stay stuck in the Jurassic XP era?
This might seem to be so either-or, so all-or-nothing, but the choices don’t have to seem so “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” at all. As I have forayed into the forums and wandered into the websites, I have increasingly become amazed at the fact that the trend today is not to feed the Microsoft machine by getting Vista, but rather, people are jumping ship and moving to different operating systems. Alternatives that, while they may not be supported by as many software developers out there, they have one trump card over any Microsoft system: security.
If there’s anything that amazes me, it’s the fact that we haven’t really seen any outbreak of non-Windows/Microsoft virus or malware. On one article, I read that with OS X, though there may be threats reported, they all turn out to be unexecutable. The irony is, they are executable only in Windows! That article was written in 2003. As for Linux, there are only 40 reported viruses as of 2006. And you actually need to run them yourself too. :p
