Macro.org Review of Kindle Fire

Disappointing, I was hoping to hear great reviews of the Fire.  If this is really how every Fire feels, then I don't want one.

Smart Phone Data Throttling

This is such crap.  Data is cheap cheap cheap.  Carriers are lying when they say otherwise.  They just want to make money hand over fist on our dime!

Tranformers 3

My wife and I watched Dark of the Moon last night.  What a waste.  The first five minutes before the Transformers logo was plot important, then most of what happens after they get to Chicago.  The whole middle of the movie could have been condensed to five or ten minutes.  I am really glad we Redboxed that bad boy.  Lots of robot killing action though.  

And really, "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."  Come on.  Then finally, "There can be only one!"  I know we aren't watching Highlander (but that was a great movie).

For a good in depth review go here.

gnome 3.2 - arch linux login problem

I recently upgraded my gnome 3 install to gnome 3.2.  Pacman threw an error so I forced the upgrade.  I am never forcing an upgrade again.  :)  The upgrade completed and when I rebooted I was greeted with a sad face saying I should contact my system administrator.  I hate it when software tells me to contact me.  After a brief google search I was left with people complaining about 3.2 being unstable and what not.  Thats what happens when you install something the day its released.  I decided to go on to sleep, it was almost midnight and I had work the next day.  When I got home I gave it another try, this time on the arch forums.  Much better info.  I issued these commands:

pacman -Rdd python2-gobject pygobject-devel cogl

Then:

pacman -S pygobject-devel cogl

Once I rebooted everything worked just fine.  I probably could have just removed python2-gobject and had it work.  Hope that helps someone else.

Chrome netbook

(download)

It actually got here. I was starting to wonder after I found out it was originally "undeliverable" by emailing a ninja. So cool.
