Separating from the “news” and personal opinion, that’s why I’m posting this on the blog part of 37prime.com.
Jason Calacanis is an attention whore.
For sure that Calacanis is not getting that much followers on Twitter as much as he hoped. I, Cringely picked up Calacanis’ tweets as story. Calacanis’ failed attempt at humor does show his true character, nothing but an attention whore. The only smart thing Calacanis ever done is selling Weblogs, Inc. to AOL for millions of Dollars. Since then Calacanis has been living large on the payout.
There I said it.

Would you connect to this open Wi-Fi?
Who knows what’s running within that network. Maybe a computer is capturing all the packets thus stealing your password.

I picked up a Hitachi 500GB 7200RPM 2.5-inch hard drive at Fry’s Electronic earlier this week. After installing and configuring the system through FireWire I finally installed the hard drive on the MacBook Pro Core Duo.
On the similar note, I really need to get a new MacBook Pro.

It’s a much cooler day today after a week of hot weather.
I’m gonna work on an old iBook G4 later tonight.

Well, I am re-installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard on my 15-inch MacBook Pro Core Duo. I have been running Snow Leopard Developer Beta and updating it to the current version. There might be some leftovers that might cause a little problems with some apps, primarily with Adobe Creative Suite 4.
I’ve just finished backing up all the data and now typing this. Synced all the iPhones and iPods too.
Here I go.

I installed Windows 7 Enterprise Edition RTM on my 15-inch MacBook Pro Core Duo. Everything seems to be working well initially. Most device drivers were installed by Windows 7. Boot Camp Windows Support took care of the rest of the drivers including the trackpad, iSight and keyboard drivers.
For some reasons after a few reboots, iSight driver kept crashing. At this point Apple has not officially supported Windows 7 yet.
As expected, Windows 7 prompted me to install some anti-malware software and I opted to install Microsoft Security Essentials Beta. Shortly after Windows 7 started crashing. I tried to roll back Windows 7 using System Restore, but unfortunately it failed. I tried uninstalling Microsoft Security Essentials Beta but it wouldn’t run under Safe Mode. Windows 7 always crashes unless it is in Safe Mode.
I am going re-format and install the system all over again.

I was just about to install Windows 7 RTM on the MacBook Pro Core Duo. Unfortunately Boot Camp Assistant is unable to relocate files on the hard drive to create a 32 GB partition.
Well, I’m going to wait for this weekend to see if Snow Leopard would actually be released. It’s an excuse for backing-up and initializing the hard drive.
Until then I’d put this project on hold and installing Windows 7 on an older Gateway PC instead.

On Monday May 4th, 2009 I had a remote recording session with Carlos Alazraqui and Cedric Yarbrough. Some might ask why I put Carlos before Cedric. The answer is pretty simple. Alphabetically Carlos Alazraqui comes before Cedric Yarbrough; be it by the first name or the last name.
We recorded a simple video using a Polycarbonate MacBook built-in iSight straight into iMovie ‘09. Carlos and Cedric recorded their parts while I was 40-something miles away. Yes, we were using iChat to set-up, edit and encode the video.
After the video was done I uploaded it to a server so it can be downloaded by someone in the East Coast.
That was a great use of technology.

At first glance, I did say WTF to the new iPod shuffle. The tag-line reads:
“The new iPod shuffle. The first music player that talks to you.”
Seriously, this is getting a little bit more ridiculous. Apple employs some of if not the best Industrial Designer in the world, but the new iPod shuffle deserves a huge WTF moment.
I’m going to the Apple Store to check out the new iPod shuffle today. For know I’d still think: “WTF?”
I can see where this is going. The next variation of this iPod Shuffle will be called “iPod shuffle Naughty Edition” with tag-line:
“The new iPod shuffle Naughty Edition. The first music player that talks DIRTY to you.”
