Here comes the Apple Live Event

So today we’ll see the split of Apple and Google (is the love really gone?), perhaps a new iPod Touch and dare we ask for something related to the Apple iPad Mini… http://live.gizmodo.com/ Well that was underwhelming as hell. The iPhone 5 has some interesting tweaks, but nothing I would call exciting. iTunes is only marginally better than before, but I haven’t used iTunes in almost a year now. Since the iPad can activate over the air I simply don’t have a need. But I think the biggest disappointment was the iPod Touch 5. The camera is better but nowhere near what the iPhone has. The Touch 4 was too damn small and delicate feeling as it was, making it lighter and thinner was completely unnecessary. It should have had the 8MP camera, been bigger with more battery life, plus the same processors as the Phone. So once again, I don’t see a reason to upgrade. I was hopeful that […]

Bank of America can #@ck my $%ck!!

It’s taken far too long to get to this point, but I finally made it. I’ve finally scraped the putrid monkey of Bank of America off my bank and settled my debts with this pathetic company. I made the mistake of using this card for some small business purposes back when it was MBNA. Much to my dissatisfaction, BoA took over the loan and proceeded to cause me great distress. They continually raised the interest rate to loan shark amounts. Their customer service is horrible and all they want to do is scam you with hidden fees, hit you with convenience fees and rob you at every turn. But I’m through with these bastards. The final payment has been sent and this horrible company can shove it. The only thing left to do is cancel the account and act like none of this ever happened. I will never do business with them ever again under any circumstances. You truly would […]

Norton Internet Security 2013 on the way

NIS 2013 is right around the corner. The beta is closed and Amazon is listing 2013 as a pre-order. However, it’s not the software that’s important, but the CD Key. As long as you have an active subscription you’ll get the latest version of the software. This mean now is the time to strike and grab a copy of NIS 2012 for a mere $20, rather than wait and get 2013 for $79. You can either get the Digital Download version for $20 or the Boxed version for $22. Considering all the viruses and havoc that’s going on out there, I say buy now while the price is low and upgrade to 2013 within the next week or so. You’ll save yourself quite a bundle.

XYplorer Lifetime License Pro

This is a must have for Windows and is the type of File Explorer that should be included in Windows by default. I bought XYplorer the last time it went on sale at BitsDuJour and I’ve been using it everyday on multiple machines ever since. You get multiple tabs, a better copy and paste than standard file explorer (although I use TeraCopy), file renaming, image viewer, preview pane, search, hotkeys, scripts, shortcuts and a ton of other features. Plus, it’s updated on a regular basis with new features coming all the time. And this is the Lifetime License, so once you buy it, you’re set for all future versions of the program. Further, you can install it on all your machines without having to buy additional licenses. It’s a great piece of software and I highly encourage you to get a copy. XYplorer Lifetime License Pro When you really think about it, file management in Windows hasn’t really changed all […]

Wait, was that Michelle Obama?

If it was, does she really need 8 motorcycles, 6 SUVs, a couple of mini-vans, a SWAT truck, an EMS truck, 4 limos and 3 vans? What the hell is all that for? To hold the boxes she buys from the mall? Good thing she doesn’t have to pay for the gas in all those.
