What is the deal with this? When I double-click a .mov file, it takes 30+ seconds for Quicktime to power up and play the file. When I plug my iPhone into my computer, it takes 2+ minutes to backup the iPhone every time… and THEN it starts syncing. iTunes is DOG SLOW to do anything […]
I’m part way through recovering from a hard drive crash. Last week my computer made the dreaded clicking noise. So I decided it was time to transfer my computer life over to a new hard drive.

Muppets from Space on 3-1-09. Nope, it didn’t have the spark that Jim Henson brought to the Muppets. Pandering to children […]
A friend wrote to me today about his failed hard drive: This weekend my laptop HD, a hitachi 250GB. suddenly stopped. While running disk warrior on it, it failed into the famed click of death. Would be very interested in recovering some of the data from it if you have any brilliant ideas. Here is […]
Slightly prettier. Google Gears helps mitigate the slowness of all the freaking modal windows they keep putting in. Note I say “helps”. Modal windows are bad for performance. This isn’t a heavyweight application, it’s just moving text around. It should be lightning fast. It used to be. :-( There are changes to how images are […]
