Why I hate Barnes and Noble

Or why I love Borders and Books.
Listen guys, when you sign up for the rewards clubs for both, they all promise discount coupons.
Both companies send me coupons every week, the difference is that Borders sends me straight 30% coupons for ANYTHING I want, while the Barnes and Noble coupons are for crappy books that they [...]

What are we paying for ?

You know if you poke around the internet you can see some interesting things.
Looking at the Apple online store, you can find a 32 gigabyte iTouch for $299 while the same search for a 32 gigabyte iPhone (unlocked) is $699.
Hmm, that seems strange, what to you get for that $400 difference. A camera and a [...]

Native Silverlight for the iPhone ?

Hmmm, sounds stupid doesn’t it ?
There are rumors moving around that Apple is thinking of replacing the Google Search as the default with Microsoft’s Bing. Makes sense, since Google and Apple are squaring off in the mobile space.
Buy how about this for a rumor, Microsoft insisting on bringing Silverlight (Microsoft’s flash want-to-be) natively to the [...]

Don’t go to Radio Shack

I hate to single them out, but I also hate being screwed.
I had to get an HDMI cable before a big presentation, its a long story but the large screen display they had did not have a DVI port that was on my computer and the VGA output look horrible on the screen.
Also on my [...]

Keep missing the mark

I keep hearing the cry to lower the prices of smart phones, well I have one for you. Lower the prices of their monthly plan.
If you put your money down for an iPhone you are going to pay about $70 a month for a two year plan (yes that comes out to $1680).
Granted it comes [...]

The shift is on (Again)

I was looking for one event in the past year for me that stood out in the High Tech events, and one thing that did rise above the rest was a one day trip I took to the Bay Area and I left my laptop behind and only took my Apple iPhone 3G. This may [...]

WTI Hosts Annual Company Christmas Party …

Last weekend, WTI hosted its annual employee Christmas Party at Dave and Buster’s at the Irvine Spectrum in Irvine, California.
WTI employees and their guests enjoyed a delicious buffet-style dinner, incredible desserts (including one of the thickest, richest cheesecakes that I’ve ever seen), games, contests and plenty of good company and conversation.  The turnout was moderately [...]

Remote Power Reboot for Cisco Catalyst 6500

Secure, remote power and reboot control can be a vital tool for system administrators who manage high power density devices such as the Cisco Catalyst 6500.  Why spend an afternoon travelling to a remote equipment room to reboot a server or shut off power when the task can be accomplished securely and remotely using WTI’s [...]

I have to give them credit

When I saw the BETA version of Microsoft Office 2010 was out, I first thought I would like to try it but who needs the hassle.
In previous versions I needed to overwrite my old Office install and that would goof things up when the BETA trial ended.
This time around what they have done for the [...]

Apple iPhone Approval Process

Many people in the media are complaining about the iPhone application approval process, its takes to long, to arbitrary, not good for people , blah, blah, blah.
If you ever needed a reason why the approval process is there, take a look at this “Knocking” application. It was denied approval, then the developer send an email [...]
