Before I get a flood of Apple Fans emailing me, and telling me to go F myself, please read my complete blog in detail before you jump to conclusions. To make a long blog post short, I feel that Apple has finally hit a point where its getting too much media attention. This attention will create unrealistic expectations for both consumers and investors. As a result I feel their stock is overvalued. The price is currently being driven by speculators who are making decisions by pure emotion and hype rather than looking at the fundamentals of Apple as a company.

For those of you who are not familiar with Clear, clear is a wireless provider that bought the WiMAX 4G spectrum quite a while ago. Today I got a promotional advertisement in the mail for Clear. Being an heavy user of wireless services I am always looking to save some money or up my performance, so I did a little research, and was impressed with what I found.

A few months ago I noticed that one of my clients websites seemed to be getting spikes of traffic. However with spikes in traffic most clients would report an increase in sales or business. When looking at the stats server, the requests were for pages and files that were not even on the server, and were for technologies ( PHP ) that I do not run on m box. If you see requests for files like /prx2.php, /phpmyadmin/config/config.inc.php, /roundcubemail/readme, or /webmail/readme. You might want to read this article.

In the highly competitive world of wireless service anytime a customer moves from one carrier to another, people want to know why. I have had a good run with AT&T, but the lure of faster devices, and a more stable network have finally driven me to switch. In this article I will list in detail my experiences, and hopes.

In the continuing pursuit of getting my FLV scrubbing application to work correctly, I came across the need to time part of my code. If you are used to using the DateTime object you might want to try something else. Turns out DateTime is meant for Date and Times, and is pretty useless to use as a stopwatch when timing the performance of lines of code within your application.

In the old days of the internet if you wanted to provide videos on your website, you would use embed tags, or play an FLV via a flash SWF. But the problem with this the huge amount of wasted transfer that results. So I set out to develop a customized handler using asp.net that would allow FLV scrubbing, and also allow throttling to save on bandwidth.

I guess SSD drives have finally caught the eye of the joe average consumers, because the other day a client of mine called asking if they should upgrade to an SSD drive. So I went about explaining to him the difference between traditional platter based storage hard drives and SSD ( Solid State Drives ). Then I got to think that my explanation might be better suited for a blog entry. So here it is.
