Bank of America – Museums of Us

capatosto — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 00:10:15 +0000

Pretty slick deal…if you have a Bank of America card (ATM or Credit) you can get into museums for free!

Free dates are limited to the first weekends of each month but it’s well worth it.

These are some pretty nifty tips for those using Google Voice. So far I’ve just been enjoying the transcribed voicemails (I rarely check voicemail anymore because of this…really useful since you can scan entire voicemails in seconds visually).

Apple Mac Mini

Apple just revealed its newest Mac Mini in a really nice unibody chassis.

Pretty slick, more power, much less power consumption, higher price…so I’m a bit torn about whether this is all good news or not.

It’s still a pretty decent system with good bang for the buck and size! That’s probably what Apple is counting on…the fact that you can get an entire desktop system that’s the size of an external hard drive AND use it as a viable media center PC.

Even Hitler Hates the iPad!

capatosto — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 03:37:36 +0000

I usually never agree with genocidal dictators but Hitler does make some good points…

The ipad has created a niche for itself (an arena in which Apple excels!) and has artificially established itself as something we’ve all been suffering through life without having…

Most of us who already have iPhone (or any other comparable smartphone) and laptop may see no value in this new device since we can easily check our email on our pocket-sized phones….and if we need to really surf the web or watch movies we can whip out our more robust laptops. What the iPad is, is a larger iPod touch that’s too bulky or feeble for most of its intended functions.

Here’s how I see it “fitting into my life”. If I didn’t already have a perfectly good Sony Reader Touch and was looking for one of the higher-end e-Readers (like say, the Kindle DX) then I’d splurge a bit and get the full-color iPad. This is where it really fits in nicely!

This is a hilarious recapping of the BSG storyline to the tune of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody…

NVIDIA Ion mini-ITX System Build Guide

capatosto — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 06:27:12 +0000

I’ve found a great guide on building an Ion-based mini-ITX form factor HTPC.

This is a great, affordable alternative to a media player (such as the WDTV by Western Digital or the much more expensive Popcorn Hour) and actually preferable to dedicated Blu-Ray players which have limited functionality.
