Open Letter to Adobe

Friday, March 24th, 2006

Dear Adobe,
Your not releasing Intel native applications until Q2 of 2007 is why I hope Apple releases a Photoshop killer and finally ends the misery of your company.
Warmest regards,
Jeremiah Cohick

Vibrant Media IntelliTXT

Tuesday, February 14th, 2006

Recently, several technology-related websites that I read have had green double-underline links appearing under random words after the page loaded. This is the latest method online advertisers (and the content-producing websites that deploy this form of advertising) are using to annoy visitors. The advertising is more visually intrusive than banner ads sprawled along […]

1000 Words

Thursday, December 1st, 2005

A picture is worth 1000 words. Apple stock is worth, oh, more than double of what it started out a year ago.

Printing at Home

Monday, October 10th, 2005

I don’t get the obsession with photo-quality ink-jet printers that have so many people going ga-ga over them.
Digital cameras allowed everyone to cut out film’s agonies: having some middle-man slowly develop the expensive photographs that probably didn’t come out as well as you hoped. But then, non-geek people started buying digital cameras. Apparently, […]

Autodesk eats Alias

Tuesday, October 4th, 2005

Mac 3D and compositing artists should sit down before reading this news. Autodesk bought Alias. Autodesk is notoriously anti-Apple while Alias has enthusiastically brought more and more products to the Mac platform for the past five years.
You may want to send feedback to Autodesk

I just read about your buyout of Alias. […]

Open Letter to Apple

Sunday, October 2nd, 2005

Dear Apple,
I am writing as a Mac enthusiast and a fan of the ABC show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. The show builds homes for deserving families in great need. Families are sent on vacation while the show builds a new home for the family.
Throughout the show, video messages are sent to the family […]

Greedy Music Industry

The Joy of Tech humorously validates the issue of the greedy music industry.

Push-to-Annoy

Friday, August 26th, 2005

I hate Nextel’s Push-to-Talk service. and its users. Is retrieving a number from your speed dial and having a conversation at a normal non-disrupting voice volume that much more arduous? Most every cell service company now has free in-network calling, so push-to-talk has no economic advantage.
My limited observations reveal that push-to-talkers […]

Pimpin the V66

Thursday, August 25th, 2005

My Motorola A630 refuses to charge without extreme contortion of phone and charger. Somehow the phone’s charger connections only work at the very front, which makes charging a difficult process. I don’t think I have any sort of warranty to fix my beloved phone.
I found a crappy used V66 on eBay, so I […]

New LiveWire Site

Wednesday, August 17th, 2005

I launched the new LiveWire site today.
Internet Explorer provides as much support for CSS as a Wonderbra on a 90-year-old woman. To compensate, I created two WordPress themes that looked exactly alike: one made with CSS and one made with tables. The CSS layout is the default theme. At the top of […]
