Most computers tend to last only 2-3 years. It’s an annoying fact, but that doesn’t make it any less true. My previous computer was a Compaq Presario, which lasted about three years. My current machine, a Gateway 835GM, has been kicking since a few days after the release of the sixth Harry Potter book (July 16th 2005 for the uninformed). How much longer will it last? No idea.

I remember when the beta came out: Not long after GMail launched. Using AJAX and DHTML, Hotmail is once again a viable email option. I still won’t use it, though. My main [...]

Yahoo has been trying to conquer the web lately (again). After lying dormant for awhile, the great beast that is Yahoo has resumed it’s evil rampage. They’ve acquired Flickr, Del.icio.us, and seem to be planning to get into the OpenID business. With the launch of Yahoo Brand Universe, they began trying to take on the many fan sites on the web. They’re claims? They claim that there are too many small sites out there run by individuals. I prefer those sites to Yahoo by far.
