Windows Vista Review: “a shameless Mac OS X imitator”

January 31, 2007 – 3:16 am

This is what Julio Ojeda-Zapata wrote as bottom line for his Windows Vista Review at the Pioneer Press:

“Get a Mac with OS X unless your home-computer needs are Windows-specific, or if the fine Media Center is a must for you. You likely won’t regret a Vista-PC purchase, but I’m betting you’ll enjoy a Mac much [...]

PSP Maplus GPS

January 29, 2007 – 12:27 am

今日ヨドバシに行ってきました。
ビーサカードから５千円の買い物券が頂いて、MAPLUS(PSP用)を買いました。買う前に色々なサイトでその商品に付いてな情報を調べてみました。Amazon.co.jpに書かれたコメントとレビューは「Maplusはあまり良くない」とういう意見が多かったと思いましたが、実は自分で使ってみるととても良い商品と思いました。
最初の設定にサテライトとロックしないと行けないので時間がちょっと掛かりました(約15分)けれど、次に使用するとすぐに使えられる超対になりました(約１分）。１万円以下の値段で住所やジャンル等の検索も出来ましたので、今までGPSを持ってなかった人におすすめ品と考えられます。目的地域が決めると音声案内も出来ますから楽に運転しながら目的まで簡単に行かれます。
もちろん、散歩モードも有りますので国内の旅行をお楽しみにしてます。ジムニーに使われる為、ヤフーオークでホルダーと電源アダプターも買いました。後で写真と画像も乗せますね。
おすすめ度：☆☆☆☆

Recent Readings

January 26, 2007 – 1:04 am

This is a small list of my most recent non-academic readings. I strongly recommend all books in this list with exceptions of “The Dante Club”, for believing that the plot as well as the characters, as the story goes, fail to convince the reader and start to sound rather like caricatures in all their actions. [...]

The Macworld 2007 is over but the buzz still goes on. Mainly because of iPhone, Apple’s newest little and neat gizmo.
“Out with the old and in with the new”, and he really ‘blends’ in his words.
