I don’t consider myself an Apple “Fanboy,” but I do happen to like quite a few Apple Products. For me it’s not about just being blindly loyal to a company for the sake of being loyal (ie Fanboy-ish), but really just choosing to purchase products that I think are better and do what I want [...]
No one will argue the fact that the iPhone (in all its iterations) has been wildly successful. It’s a cool, slick looking, and useful phone. If it wasn’t for AT&T and their god awful data pricing plans, I might be tempted to buy one. Until then I’m sticking with my trusty super smart phone

People like Ashton Kutcher, Jimmy Fallon, etc… are using it to update “us” hungry fans about their great lives that we don’t have.

Anyway, I’ve seen his picture around and if you [...]
If you haven’t been following, my hard drive failed on me a week ago. I’ve been trying to get that data off the disk. Last we left off with me waiting to hear back from Jason, a tech support guy for Disk Warrior, a program I had purchased to try to rebuild my hard drive [...]
Yesterday I left off where I had just bought a new hard drive and an enclosure for the old hard drive (to see if I could salvage any of the old data). I was able to get the new hard drive working in the computer, which confirmed that the hard drive was the problem. As [...]
Well, it’s happened again. Yesterday I was working on my white MacBook 2.0 ghz when all of a sudden it froze up on me. This has happened before to me and normally I just hold down the power button to shut it down (apparently this is not a good thing to do). However, this time [...]
Hello. My name is Ben Tao. I have random thoughts throughout the day--some amusing, some ridiculous, most are lame. Rather than forget them I've decided to write them down like the other billion bloggers out there. Welcome.
