Song of the Day

Gregory & the Hawk – Kill the Turkey

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUirOgzr77Y]

It is becoming more and more difficult to find songs for my “Song of the Day.” I have yet to add to my music library since I’ve been home so if there’s not a song that is repeatedly playing in my head, I usually just shuffle my music library until I find a new one. In this case, I don’t even have “Kill the Turkey” on my iPod, but I did stumble upon Gregory & the Hawk. I remember the first time I listened to Meredith Godreau, I immediately fell in love with her voice. If you haven’t heard “Boats and Birds,” you must.

I used to think that I could look back on my life in pictures (or posts,) but I’ve found that I can do the same with songs. I can remember the periods in my life when I listened to different genres. I’m gonna say Gregory & the Hawk was about… 2006

The New Jersey 5

5 thieves were caught on tape stealing from the Apple store. They took basically everything on display in only 31 seconds.

Kind of reminds me of the movie “Gone in 60 Seconds.” The five guys were able to steal 23 Macbook Pros, 14 iPhones and 9 iPod Touches.

People just don’t know who they are messing with these days.

Mac’s are not unstoppable

My first Apple computer arrived at my house when I was about 5 or 6. At some we decided to upgrade completely to PC’s and it was probably the best decision we’ve ever made.

Mac’s might be trendy, slim, lightweight etc, but they cannot live up to the performance that I need in a computer. Besides the iPod, that is the only product I will buy from them and even THAT freezes up sometimes. Perhaps, if I had the right expertise in mastering mac, it would then have made my life more efficient and enjoyable. Maybe, at a later stage, I might enroll myself in any Apple classes nearby!

The other day, my friend Chuck posted as his Facebook status that his $3000 Mac laptop broke after one year when he really needed it the most to edit his videos more extensively. This caused kind of a flurry over his status of people who loathe or love Macs. With some people telling him he should look into a service similar to mac repair Longmont for 3rd party repair services, and others told him he should just finally get rid of it.

The truth is, Macs are not perfect and Dino Dai Zovi was out to prove it! The author of “The Mac Hacker’s Handbook,” has said that, “there’s a an Apple security flaw in OS X that can give a malicious coder complete control of a Mac.”

At the core of the hack is a short code script that gives a hacker access to a Mac’s memory. Making it possible to gain root access to the machine, and subsequently a remote TCP connection is setup. Allow said hacker to gain access to your personal data, attack the machine, execute files, or quietly monitor Safari to sniff your attempts to access your financial and banking details online.

Just say no.

Yet another version of the ipod shuffle…

why am I not surprised?

Today Apple released their latest version of the Ipod shuffle that actually talks to you. Personally.. that might be too much for me, but apparently it lets you know what songs are playing and who the artist is. The ipod is $79 and holds up to 1000 songs. At least you’ll be able to know what you’re listening to since there is no screen. It also translates into 14 different languages!
