128 GB iPad, super sweet!

This morning I read some interesting news, Apple has decided to release a 128 GB iPad 4! I've been waiting for a 128 GB iPad since I bought my iPad 2 because you can never have enough local memory on a device. I've read a few articles here and there explaining why it doesn't make …

Winter Cleaning for the MacBook Pro

Passed my ITIL Service Design Test

Fixing vs Buying a Car

The decision to fix an ailing car or to buy a new one with no problems at all seems to be rearing its ugly head in my household again. Not too long ago (almost a year now) I had the same dilemma with my wife's car which was a 2000 Nissan XTerra. At the time …
