Jobs & Apple

As usual, I am running a few weeks behind the big news. For those that are even more out of the loop, (not saying I did not know until now, just now getting to blogging) Steve Jobs resigned his position at Apple a couple of weeks back. He remains in his position on the board but will not be involved on day-to-day operations of the company as he has so often been in the past. Of course this brings to the front, the big question of how will Apple do as a company going forward in regards to keeping the almost cult like following, continue to come out with major market shaking innovations, and of course continue to be profitable enough to make stock holders happy. And now tech Friday…

Customizing Themes

I admit it, that sometimes I am little slow. In this particular case, my slowness is causing some of my blogs using WordPress to be slow when loading up and it took me until the other day to realize it. What is the slowness and why?

I am sure that comes as a little bit of a shock to some of the folks that read me regularly, as historically I have been such a huge fan. I even own the bag with the Firefox logo on for my laptop transportation needs (note, it was a gift, but I have carried proudly most of the time all the same). So what exactly is going on that is leading to astray, to actually click and surf with other browsers tha

Stats, Jetpack, & Dislike

I think I have touched on this one briefly once before, but that the heck are the folks at Automatic/WordPress thinking with this move? For those not acquainted with what I speak of, consider that the stats counter that has been provided and ran for standalone WordPress installations back through the WordPress.com site is now being migrated into the Jetpack plugin suite. I have some problems with this move and so should everyone else who has been using the WordPress blogging platform in the last several years.

Software Patents

If you have been reading or hearing much of anything the last couple of weeks in regards to the technological news I am sure it has at least mentioned patents, if not been the entire focus in general. It has been building for a few years, but the need for some kind of patent reform, [...]
