Here is a synopsis of recent tweets and rants on tech products.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Apple, I am so freaking tired of having to update iTunes every other week. Not even windows is this annoying.<\/li>\n<li>Since the release of the iPhone 2.2 firmware update Safari keeps crashing. Funny thing is that I still have update from version 2.1. WTH?<\/li>\n<li>I wish Firefox had the double tap zoom in and out feature that the iPhone Safari has.<\/li>\n<li>Google Chrome first impressions: Slooooooooooow, cartoon-like look and feel, tight integration with Google search, almost retro-evolutionary.<\/li>\n<li>I have Firefox, MS has IE, Apple has Safari, Norwegians have Opera, Linux has Konqueror, and now Google has Chrome.<\/li>\n<li>Google Chrome is put together from open source components. What companies will now also release custom browsers with plugin to tie to propriety services?  Adobe, Mcaffee, Amazon, EBay?<\/li>\n<li>Is Google just an internet search powered ad agency? It seems that no matter what they do most of their revenue is from ads.<\/li>\n<li>The problem with the G1 is branding. The phone&#8217;s brand image is split by different trademarks, T-Mobile, GPhone, Google Phone, Android, HTC.<\/li>\n<li>Is Google Analytics slowing down the web? Every time a site is slow, I read &#8216;transferring data from google-analytic.com&#8217; on the browser status bar.<\/li>\n<li>Do no evil does not equal to do some good. If you going to do some good, you might do better if you ask who is benifits from said goodness.<\/li>\n<li>My Lenovo ThinkPad goes through it&#8217;s battery faster in &#8216;stand by&#8217; mode than my MacBook Pro in &#8216;doing work&#8217; mode.<\/li>\n<li>The Lenovo ThinkPad on a full battery last a few days on &#8216;stand by&#8217; mode, the MacBook Pro last weeks.<\/li>\n<li>Abode is the Microsoft of the PDF standard. There is no good PDF solution, the only acceptable solution is their solutions.<\/li>\n<li>The multiple shareware, open source PDF solutions have a ton of limitations. You can&#8217;t print a half decent PDF document from Java.<\/li>\n<li>Is the Download Manager the new trojan horse? Adobe, do I need a download manager for a 30MB file? Is this an acknowledgment of bloatware?<\/li>\n<li>Amazon wishlist needs an upgrade. It needs a pie chart breakdown by category, price range. It needs a search for items on the wishlist, this is supposed to be Web 2.0 for God&#8217;s sake.<\/li>\n<li>And perhaps, most importantly, Amazon&#8217;s wishlist needs to multiple delete. It can&#8217;t believe they only allow to delete one item at a time.<\/li>\n<li>I have to say, except for the keyboard being cramped and the right shift key being out of place, the Asus Eee PC is really nice.<\/li>\n<li>Vista is pretty stupid. It actually allows you to delete your recycle bin. I asked around and folks have accidentally deleted recycle bin.<\/li>\n<li>When Microsoft VP say their products runs on multi-platform, they mean Windows ME, Windows XP, Wisdom Vista, Windows Server 2008, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Okay, I had to do it, I downgraded my work Lenovo T61 from Vista to XP SP2.<\/li>\n<li>There should be a class action lawsuit for the waste of time and money that Vista has ended up for end users.<\/li>\n<li>Why don&#8217;t gadget makers standardize on chargers? Do I really need a different charger with different jacks for similar devices?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I frequently tweet and update my social status.
