Saw this just now via MacRumors – a wonderful note that our friends at Oracle have decided to bundle the Ask.com toolbar (an invaluable tool if there ever was one) with the Mac version of Java (as they’ve done with the Windows version for some time)… For years, Oracle has been bundling an Ask.com search… Continue reading Oracle, Are You Really Hurting for Cash This Badly?

Why Do Printers Still Suck?
The Installer failed and looped endlessly. You should be ashamed. Recently I bought an HP Photoshare 7510, a pretty nice printer/scanner that brings me up to the wireless age.

Seamless Mode in VirtualBox Plays Nice
Last I checked, Seamless Mode in VirtualBox was buggy, and really annoying to use. I’ve recently switched to my Macbook full-time (My big Windows Machine stays plugged into the LAN and is able to be remotely turned on via LogMeIn in case I need it), which means that I’m good for most things, but certain… Continue reading Seamless Mode in VirtualBox Plays Nice

Why So Much Difficulty Outlook?
OK, so today I’m taking a break from the world of Linux to focus on the world of Windows. Windows 7 to be exact, which now lives on my Toshiba L305 alongside Ubuntu (dual-boot). I’m putting 7 through the paces which for me means installing Office 2007 and setting up Outlook 2007. I have a… Continue reading Why So Much Difficulty Outlook?
