Death to Bookmarks

As I surfed the web tonight, I realized that what was once thought of as a "must have" feature of a web browser is now obsolete.  The feature, bookmarks... also known favorites. I think the reasons are obvious.

1. Google is too damn good and finding what you are looking for
2. And now that it's available in the address bar of your browser...who needs bookmarks anymore
3. Bookmarks were never useful to begin with...I mean, what good does a cryptic few words describing a web page do when you are searching through hundreds of bookmarks

Now that I've stated my peace...I would like to plead with all the programers out there working on the next generation web browser, kill the bookmark feature...and don't focus on "synchronizing" bookmarks between computers...here's something more powerful and will provide more use for the community in large...desk top virtualization.

Virtualization isn't a new concept...but, I can't wait until I can't tell the difference between my iPhone, MacBook, and XP machines...give me a keyboard and a monitor and I want access to my computer.  Simple, heh?

This can not be real...they didn't even divert the flight to Miami. That means she was laying on the floor dead for over 3 hours!

iTunes + iPhone + Leopard Upgrade = broken :(

This weekend, I received Leopard as a gift for being the best man in a wedding. I installed it tonight without a hitch, or at least that's what I thought.

I must say, the upgrade was easy and much to my chagrin only required 5GB of drive space...ha, put that in your pipe and smoke it Vista. Anyway, I went to plug in my iPhone after upgrading and to my disapointment, iTunes did not launch and I couldn't sync my calendar, contacts, or iTunes library.

As I was in to my 3rd try at a fix, finally came across the answer...it was to reinstall iTunes. While as painless as the upgrade was, the fact that I had to reinstall iTunes was too reminescent of Windows. Bleh, I need to go wash my mouth out with some Listorine to get rid of this aweful taste.

Are you dizzy yet?

I don't think I could ever seen enough videos of greyhounds on YouTube.
