Apple ignoring data loss issues

I just wanted to make a quick comment on the data loss issues with OS X. This is very un-Apple like. Why have we not seen a fix or at least an official announcement? Lets get this stright, I am a huge Apple fan. That being said, the issues they are having recently with bugs in there code not be addressed does not give me a warm and fuzzy.

Apple has a real shot at taking the home user away from Microsoft, but they are failing to execute. They need to get off there rear ends and do something about this. If they have ever wanted to be more then just a tiny player they need to move now.

I do not fault them for some of the hardware issues, as that can happen to anyone. They do need to take contractual measures with there venders to ensure that it does not spread to fast and they can make the necessary recalls. If not they are going to wind up to be another Packard-Hell! We really expect more from you Apple.

Bill Cosby spoke the truth

For those of you that have not been paying attention. Bill Cosby just went off on his people. I personaly think this is a good thing. He said what really needed to be said and did not pull in punches. It is about time that someone stood up and did not care what people would say bad about him and started caring for the black community.

You might not know this, but Bill was a PhD before he made it big in entertainment. So he really understands the value of an education. He knows that you must present yourself properly or people will not take you seriously.

So what he said to the people came from a good place and if people would listen it would be a net good.  The bad part is that I do not think people will.  He really meant this from a good place and said it with love in his heart. I think they are more likely to call him an “uncle tom” and leave it at that. This will be much to there detriment.

So what are your opinions? Do you think he said it to be a jerk and make the news? Do you think anyone would pay attention?

I respect this guy for losing his cool

I now have much more respect for Mike Gundy. He stood up for one of his players and showed little concern for himself. This is going to be looked at as bad by the public, but it really shouldn’t. It is about time we had more men willing to stand up for what is right.
