I just watched Steve’s keynote about the iPad and I am happy to announce that this is the first Apple gadget that does not trigger the “must have” effect.

So I finally got my first Mac (a MacBookPro 13″) and I have to say that I like it a lot (you’ll be able to read about that in a post in the near future).
Coming from a Windows background and still working on XP at work there is one major quirk that drives me completely nuts.
Every time that I click on a link that should open in a new tab (like on a headline in Google Reader for example), Safari opens it in a new window.
Why can’t it just behave …

Today, the fan of my Asus 1000h started to make some bone chilling, whining sounds which are absolutely unbearable.
So I took it back…

Fortunately I did test the 10.5.7 upgrade yesterday and could do a short write-up on this (see previous article).

For the time being I’m not jailbreaking and am running with the basic (Apple approved) applications.
And you know what: the phone is way snappier and I …

Naive as I am I wanted to update my perfectly working, jailbroken 2.2 iPhone to 2.2.1. which by the way corrects only some minor stuff (but we geeks just have to do stupid stuff like this, don’t we).
Now first try, directly update to 2.2.1 and re-jailbreak results in an infinite boot loop where the phone reboots every 5 minutes or so. This was somewhat foreseeable but you never know you could be lucky…
Second try, restore the phone firmware, then restore the backup then jailbreak. boot loop again. Now that is …
