Obama is a Mac head like me!!! - I had to re-post this!

Mac-loving Obama staff confronts Windows White House reality

By Erica Sadun | Published: January 22, 2009 - 10:20AM CT

This week, the White House became a switcher. As the new presidential team took over 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, they were met with outdated equipment still apparently running the sturdy old Windows XP and Windows 2000, as well as a host of bureaucratic rules meant to ensure that all official work at the White House can be properly recorded according to the Presidential Records Act.

The Obama team has long been known for using Apple equipment. President Obama himself uses a Mac laptop, as does his media team, which according to the Washington Post is now facing the daunting prospect of updating the West Wing to modern equipment and doing so while complying with government regulations.

The Post article quipped that "if the Obama campaign represented a sleek, new iPhone kind of future, the first day of the Obama administration looked more like the rotary-dial past." It seems as if the White House is making great strides forward technologically in short order. This week alone, the Whitehouse website was updated with a new look and an official blog. Can a Mac-friendly West Wing be far behind?

Stargate Universe is comming this Summer!!!

OK so tonight was the series finale of Stargate Atlantis. Right as the worst series finale ever words were starting to exit my lips an announcment for Stargate Universe was dropped. Wholy crap on a fun stick it is on again lol. It gives me just enough time to finish watching SG-1 so that I will know the whole story before the next chapter begins. I am so excited!!! So anyway here is what I found on good ole Wikipedia about the new show:

Stargate Universe is an upcoming science fiction television series, part of the Stargate franchise. The series was green lit on August 22, 2008 and is scheduled to debut as a two- or three-hour movie and then begin regular weekly airings on SCI FI in summer 2009. Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper will serve as executive producers and writers. The projected film start of Stargate Universe is February 4, 2009.

Stargate Universe follows the adventures of a team of explorers from Earth, who find the Ancient spaceship Destiny and must fend for themselves aboard the ship in the far reaches of the universe as they are unable to return to Earth. The show will be firmly entrenched in pre-established Stargate mythology and take place during the present time.

Tripod - Gonna Make You Happy

Microsoft's keynote at CES music act... hmmm though cool I think Tony Benett a la Apple keynote at Macworld trumps Tripod lol

Windows 7 Public Beta to start Tomorrow!! (1/9/09)

Ok I have to admit I am actually a little excited about the Vista redo Windows 7. Ballmer announced at CES that the beta will open up tomorrow and I am going to be all over it. Through some umm...resources I have been working with Windows 7 since last year when it was first announce and I gotta say it actually does what it is supposed to do. It is stable and it look good without tons of unnecessary crap... you know the way Vista should have been. I am watching the keynote right now so I can't really make any rants but I will definately do a vs between Ballmer and Schiller a bit later. So guys lets get ourselves ready for another big Windows release!

Here is the link to where the beta is supposed to release :
