Jay’s Life

I replaced my old 2006 MacBook with one of the newer model MacBooks on Friday. I have to say the new machined aluminum case is VERY nice, as is the new track pad and glass screen The new firmer palm rest is much nicer to type on, cleans easier than it’s previous counterpart and feels cooler too. This is my 4th Apple laptop, once every 2 years since 2002.

I’ll be selling my old MacBook on eBay since I don’t really have a use for it, and because it’s still a perfectly good laptop.

In this mature internet culture. Where finances and government services are online and part of our every day lives. I think it’s time that companies be held accountable to providing access to their services regardless of the Browser used to access those services, akin to buildings requirements to provide alternative access for individuals unable to use stairs.

Take for instance, Great West Life. They have an excellent website, if you use Internet Explorer. If you use Safari, it has a myriad of issues from timing you out of your session, to flat out crashing.

TV.com is another good example. It falls apart in all browsers other than Internet Explorer under Windows. The only thing that is universal is their advertisements.

It’s time that sites be held accountable to their customers for the quality of service they provide. Mac and Linux users may be the minority, but they deserve equal access to online services.

Dear FedEx,

If this is your idea of Handle With Care, you need to review what that phrase means. I’ve been waiting 7 weeks, for my one of a kind hand made figure to ship to me, you guys suck.
