I’ve been using Microsoft Windows since version 3.1, which came out in 1992. I’ve seen it triumph: 2000, XP & 7 were all very strong releases. I’ve seen it struggle: ME & Vista were lackluster. Nineteen years of mastering every single quirk and intricacy which has driven many users away from the platform.
About a month ago I began using Mac OS X Lion as my primary Desktop OS. I’ll have to say that overall, Lion is fantastic. There are few aspects that windows can say it does better, but they definitely exist. This review talks more about what Lion doesn’t do as well as windows.

Today I got an e-mail from Google Wave, one of my waves had been updated! Excitedly, I jumped over to wave.google.com, only to find that it was yet another “null post”:
I’ve seen the link “Yeahh!! It happens on Live Television!!!” liked by four of my facebook friends today. I think it’s worth warning people not to click inside of web pages pages on an untrusted site that thas a video player within it.
Here is the example of an offending video post:

Posting a Blog that is simply a link to another site is pretty bland without some sort of summary or excerpt from the hyperlink being pointed to. I really don’t want to make my reader load that extra page, or force them to read some lame summary when I’m just trying to share a link I already summarized in the title.

I absolutely love my Jabra BiAural headset which works for stereo audio in addition to calls.
WordPress has to be one of the worlds best open source projects. It’s incredibly powerful and it makes the delivery of content onto the web as easy as possible.
