Mama-mia…I know I subscribe to Cali on Twitter and enjoy seeing daily tweets as they go by, but I had no idea when I pulled up my downloaded GBTV episodes on Tivo tonight that I’d get to see more then I thought I subscribed to. Brief #313 is quite nice…not sure how Neal didn’t put a stop to this T-shirt, but if it was intentional..Neal? You da man!

Damn, Laptopmag needs to lay off a little bit. Who is this guy Avram Piltch writing these blog articles anyways? I don’t think I’ve seen anything but negativity come out of this self-proclaimed Web Editor / Guru that hasn’t updated his own blog in over a year. Are you kidding me? He didn’t know about hitting F11 to get full-screen Firefox?? *Newsflash* Mr. Editorial Guru…it works in Internet Explorer too! Surprise! You can have the same fun on your Windows boxes.
I suppose I should tell him about the PageZoom and ImageZoom plugins available from Mozilla.org for Firefox that allows you to change the size of the text and images to fit better in Firefox (which by the way is built into Firefox 3.0). But that’s probably too much to handle, right. I mean this Cloudbook stuff should just “work” right out of the box? No customizations necessary, right? I mean my Windows boxes don’t need to be setup either…they just turn on and work too, right?
Since I don’t believe most of what they’re posting in their little blog updates about the Cloudbook, I’m going to take every one of their blog entries/complaints and try it out for myself to see what the real deal is. I have no big corporation behind me tossing me a paycheck. I’m a consumer that bought a Cloudbook on my own free will. Not because my employer told me to.
On top of that, how about some articles that point out what’s good about the Cloudbook. Better yet, even if these things are truly bad or not working as they’re supposed to as Mr. Piltch claims, how about something constructive and beneficial to the public…helpful fixes/hits/tips/workarounds for some of the early issues with the Cloudbook. Surely there’s more value to that than Laptopmag’s bashing. Stay tuned, I’ll see what I can do.
Oh, and one more thing Avram. Update your Wordpress installation. It’s outdated.
