Crash Blindness in an Inveterate Apple User : A Case Study [Crash Blindness in an Inveterate Apple User : A Case Study]

andokai — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 11:49:13 GMT

Saw this via Robby Ingebretsen's blog and figured some of you might get a kick out of it.

The article says not to quote without permission so if you're interested you'll have to look at the pdf. Basically it says that a long-time Mac user doesn't even see crashes on a Mac, while he spots every one on Windows.

Isn't scientific research amazing. :S

I've noticed the default RSS feed no longer contains Coffeehouse threads. Is this a bug or a permanent change?

Windows Mobile 5 & 6 less functional than Pocket PC 2003 [Windows Mobile 5 & 6 less functional than Pocket PC 2003]

andokai — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 18:16:08 GMT

Has anyone noticed that Windows Mobile 5 tasks no longer have the option to add audio clips and drawings as you could in Pocket PC 2003?

Does anyone know a way to get that functionality back or another application which offers the equivalent?

Strange

Has anyone come across an application that allows you to share your desktop with more than one person at a time? At the moment I'm having to daisy chain which isn't ideal.

Anyone got an Orange SPV M600 (HTC Prophet)? [Anyone got an Orange SPV M600 (HTC Prophet)?]

andokai — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 18:22:14 GMT

One of these.

Would you recommend it? Pros n cons? Has it deteriorated since you owned it?

I'm thinking of picking one up and just want to get any feedback as to how they hold up after long term use.

Cheers,
Andrew

I just noticed the OC Firewall is a .NET app funnily enough by an error it displayed. Is it just the FW or is the whole suite built on .NET? Either way it's good to see.

I was just reading this article and couldn't help but be reminded of iRobot.

Let's recap Google or the Google has or will have all the worlds knowledge. It knows our name, where we live, what we want or are interested in. It monitors our communication and soon it will have our data.

How long before the googlebots are rolled out to round us up and escort us of to lives adsense has deemed most appropriate for us?

I for one welcome his Googlieness. :D

XP x64 Upgrade [XP x64 Upgrade]

andokai — Thu, 05 May 2005 14:17:46 GMT

Yeah I'm still trying to figure a way to scam x64 without having to pay for it. Forgive me I'm an unfunded research student.

Anyway how about this scenario. I have an OEM copy of XP running on a 32 bit machine and a studnet copy of XP running on a x64 machine. Can I exchange the OEM copy for XP x64 install that on the x64 hardware and then install the student XP on the 32bit machine?

If only I could be so creative at how to make money as how not to pay then I'd be a lot better off :)

A few of XAML questions [A few of XAML questions]

andokai — Tue, 19 Apr 2005 12:10:45 GMT

First, I read somewhere that XAML will not support CSS, is this true, and if so why not?

Second, will it be possible to write XAML inline with HTML or XHTML?

Finally, will future windows mobile devices support XAML?

Cheers,
Andrew
