Jon and I are finished with RantsAndStuff. It’s been a fun ride but we’ve decided call it quits. If you’re a frequent reader of RantsAndStuff, and there are a few of you out there, first of all thanks for the support and second, I’d like to invite you to a new site of mine called Embrace [...]

Sony has a new VAIO Z series coming out that has dual video cards (one NVIDIA® GeForce® GT330M graphics chipset with 1GB GDDR3 VRAM and one Intel integrated HD chipset) with a physical switch that has an “auto” mode that allows the system to automatically switch video cards based on usage. The [...]

AdSense for Mobile

Yes, this isn’t a totally new concept, and yes, I just summarized some stuff I’ve read about on the internet. I think it is great that Google is still on their conquest to conquer my toaster though. ———————— For a few years, Google has offered the selling and purchasing of ad space via their Adsense program.

iPhone double tap for period feature

Every operating system in existence should have the iPhone’s double-tap-spacebar-to-place-a-period-then-start-a-new-sentence feature. I find myself trying to use it while typing emails and stuff in Outlook at work and other various applictions. It’s a very natural mechanic.

How-to: Rename a batch of files in 10.6 Snow Leopard

Brad — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 03:40:34 +0000

If this How-to looks familiar it’s because I wrote a similar How-to back in April of ‘09. That How-to used an Automator workflow that was saved as a Finder plug-in and enabled you to select multiple files and then control-click those files and choose an action from the “more” sub-menu and from there the Automator [...]

The unfathomable geniuses at Wireworld have come up with the solution to your problem… You just spent $2,000 on a new HD big screen and a new blu-ray player but are far too rich to use the HDMI cable that came in the box. Instead, you need a way to spend another $1,000 on an [...]
