I was contemplating the little cardboard cartons that you heat Hot Pockets in. The packages say that you should eat the food out of the carton while you’re on the go. So that means it’s “mobile food.”

So… You put your mobile phone in one pocket, and the mobile food in the other, right?

Wall Street Journal’s Walt Mossberg sums-up the MacBook air: “If you value thinness, and a large screen and keyboard in a subnotebook, and don’t watch DVDs on planes or require spare batteries, the MacBook Air might be just the ticket. But if you rely on spare batteries, expect the usual array of ports, or like to play DVDs on planes, this isn’t the computer to buy.”

I just found this Blue Screen of Death Generator. It’s funny, put it’s probably a good idea to crop-out the URL shown at the bottom of the image (otherwise people will instantly know it’s a fake, and that’s no fun, is it?).

It’s back! Welcome to the first Weekly WTH since July 2007 (on my old blog).

• RIAA Website Wiped Clean by “Hackers” - Normally I wouldn’t approve of such tactics, but…
• Yahoo Implements OpenID - Yahoo’s still trying to take over the world. One thing that worries me: “…allow Yahoo OpenID sign-ins”. Does that mean you can use your Yahoo OpenID to log into OpenID-ready sites, but you can’t use your non-Yahoo OpenID to log-in to Yahoo sites? That would be so Yahoo.
• Microsoft Customer Service Calls Back 10 Years Later - The title says it all.
• Ford: Photos Of Your Car Are Copyright Infringement - To paraphrase a CNET podcast, does that mean photos of yourself wearing expensive garments, like Armani, are copyright infringement? This is getting out of hand, guys.

Okay, after this, I promise I won’t post another Apple ad (for a few days, anyway). :D

This ad was spotted on NYTimes.com. A static screencap has made it on Digg, but the YouTube video is much better.

Last Tuesday, I downloaded the Steve Jobs’ Macworld Expo Keynote as soon as I got home from bowling. I was totally amazed at the Macbook Air, though it’s not really my kind of laptop. I want to much power to settle for it. The lack of storage, ports, and removable battery are the main problems (I don’t mind the external optical drive much). I’m not a huge fan of ultraportables (due to limitations like that), but you have to admit…it’s one cool computer.

I like those Get a Mac ads. This one is funny, it doesn’t bash Vista (people have been complaining that a lot of the ads just bash Vista instead of pointing out the advantages of Macs), and it’s definitely right. Vista runs faster on Macs than on normal PCs.

I remember reading about this in PC Magazine (or was it PC World?). Not only does the MacBook Pro run Vista better than any other notebook computer, it receives a higher Vista-compatibility ranking during the install.

I stopped updating my old personal blog last July. Part of the reason was I was trying to write something there every day, and most of it was web-related content. When I started Webmaster-Source, and NTugo as well, I just didn’t have the time (or the post ideas) anymore. I was spending a lot of time working on the sites, and using up all of my web-related post ideas on Webmaster-Source.

This is my new personal blog. Here I will post rants, ideas, links, and whatever else I can think of. I’m not going to commit to a regular posting schedule, but will post things whenever I can.

I’m also planning on bringing back the Weekly WTH (Weekly What The Heck) from my old blog as well.
