I have to get this off my chest. I just can't take it anymore.You know those "I'm a Mac, and I'm a PC" commercials by Apple? There's a massive logic hole in those ads. Namely, a Macintosh is a PC! PC means p-e-r-s-o-n-a-l c-o-m-p-u-t-e-r. As opposed to a "server", "minicomputer", "mainframe" or "supercomputer". Now that Macintosh's are based on Intel architecture, the only difference is

"Canada has more H1N1 vaccine per capita than any other country in the world."Yay for us. Apparently it is so amazing that a small country like ours can have more vaccine "per capita" than a larger richer country, like say the United States.Fun fact. Canada produces more pennies per capita than the United States. In 2007, the Canadian mint produced 846 million pennies, which works out to 25

African nations boycotted U.N. climate talks on Tuesday in a protest to urge rich countries to set deeper 2020 cuts in greenhouse gas emissions....."Africa believes that the other groups are not taking talks seriously enough, not urgently enough," said Kabeya Tshikuku, of the Democratic Republic of Congo delegation.Truer words, etc. etc.

Study: File sharers spend more money on musicAs I posted back in Dec. of 07, I no longer purchase music, I also don't download it either. I used to. I would download music as a means to evaluate an album, and if I liked it enough, I would go out and buy it. Once the download crackdown started, I abandoned the music scene entirely.Big media, in their blind pursuit of profit at all costs,

Would it help lessen the panic if we made children a priority to get the H1N1 vaccine until there's enough for adults?Blitz the schools and immunize the kids. Heck, I can see them being the primary carriers of the virus back to their families, who then take it to work, etc. Breaking the cycle at the school makes some sort of sense, doesn't it?In my sons kindergarten class, out of 20 kids, only

I haven't done a good rant lately. I'm due.Damn! I hate cold calls from vendors looking for clients. Every frakkin reseller will promise you the world, but will deliver you a globe instead and go "What? We delivered what we promised!" You're all snake-oil sellers. Salesmen (and salesladies) are a species apart from the human race. They're a lower order of scum below that of lawyers,

All around me people are being felled by "the Flu". No one has been tested, but as I understand things, at this point in the season, if you have the Flu, its the Swine Flu.Neighbours, friends, coworkers and half the kids at my son's schools are being felled by this rampant illness. I am usually successful in maintaining calm in the presence of danger, but the news today did not help.I have

Mostly agree with the sentiment expressed here. I do not like the new National format at all. Very off-putting and exciting!!! without much content. I felt like I was watching Entertainment Tonight, everything is Hot! Exciting! Need to know! even when it isn't. They even gave a big build-up to Claire Martin. "See what she's watching now!

The federal government said Monday it will introduce legislation to crack down on early parole for non-violent offenders, a move it says will augment proposed tougher sentences for white-collar criminals.I can spot the contradiction in that article, can you spot the contradiction?[Minister of Public Safety Peter Van Loan] said under the current laws, criminals such as fraudsters and drug dealers

Jim Kenzie has been quite vociferous in his opposition to the new hand-held device law in Ontario.I agree with him that hands free or not is largely irrelevant in terms of overall driver distraction. However, two hands on the wheel is better than one. Also, I initially thought the law was not a complete loss. Ever since its announcement I have attempted (with varying levels of success) to

I am a fan of movies based on cartoons. A movie based on Spiderman, Batman, Superman, Ironman etc. is at the top of my must-see list.Myself and some other nerds of the same ilk rushed out to see the first Transformers movie, and were absolutely blown away. I purchased the movie when it came out on DVD, and my wife was instantly blown away as well. She's more picky about these types of movies,

Tonight on the National, Rex Murphy twigged me to this story.Back in the early 90s I worked briefly as a security guard. During my training, we were explicitly told to avoid making citizen arrests or otherwise detaining suspects that were on the premises we were "guarding". Why? Because we could be charged for forcible confinement, or at worse kidnapping.To the point we were informed that if

About 3 years ago, my wife was taking my eldest son (who was 2 at the time) to Kindermusik, a parent child activity session organized around music.After one session, they had a take home assignment.
