QotD: Death of Mac IE

Question: The fact that official support for IE 5 on the Mac will end on December 31 has been talked about ad nauseum in the Mac blogosphere so far today. My question is simply this: do you care? My Answer: Hell no. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in […]

QotD: Jammed Cell Phones

Question: If you could jam cell phones in any locations you choose, where would you jam them? My Answer: Movie theaters. If I attended meetings, classes, or similar things I'd want them blocked there, too. Also, it'd be nice to selectively jam one person's cell phone so that they either quit in the middle of […]

QotD: Intel Inside Promoted

Question: Will Apple have "Intel Inside" stickers or otherwise promote the Intel chips inside the computers? My Answer: I don't think so. Apple promoted "G5" because it sounds cool and it distinguished the tower. They don't promote the fact that it's an IBM (or a Motorola on the G4) chip inside. Apple has almost never […]

QotD: Apprentice

Question: Imagine you'd just beat a very, very competitive player named Rebecca on The Apprentice and won the job. Then Donald asks you "should I also hire Rebecca?" What would your answer be? My Answer: If I had 30 seconds to talk, I might have said "I'd love to have Rebecca as one of my […]

QotD: Hourly Compensation

Question: How much do you charge per hour for whatever it is you charge for? My Answer: I have a lot of readers who, at one time or another, have done freelance work. My base rate is about $150/hour, but I'm particularly careful to do an hour's worth of work in that time frame, even […]

QotD: Guessing Presents

Question: I've let Carey guess at what I bought her for Christmas for a week or two now. She's not gotten close yet. Do you let others guess? What do you do if they get it right? My Answer: I only let Carey guess because I don't think she'll ever get it. If she does, […]

QotD: Two-Person Games

Question: What are your favorite two-person board and/or card games? My Answer: Carey and I are looking for some suggestions. We own Trivial Pursuit and… uhhh… a deck of cards. And Trivial Pursuit. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Software for Men

Question: Is software designed for men? My Answer: No. Software is designed for a user - period. Someone told me that Apple's predilection for "metal" is indicative of their favorable stance towards manly users, but what then of their pulsing "OK" buttons and soft fades and whizzy effects? Absolutely nothing, as none of it has […]

QotD: Office Parties

Question: Have you attended or will you be attending any "office Christmas parties" this year? My Answer: I will be tonight. Hopefully it will turn out better than "The Office" Christmas party. 🙂 You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

Question: Do you believe the reports? My Answer: I hope with all of my might that PowerPage, as usual, is wrong, but at the same time I wouldn't put it past Apple to do something stupid like this. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on […]

QotD: Best Advice

Question: What's the best piece of advice you've ever received? My Answer: "If you want something done right, do it yourself." 🙂 You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: School Uniforms

Question: Do you believe public schools should have uniforms? My Answer: I do. Studies (look 'em up) have shown that public schools that have uniforms have less violence and better behaved students. The cool kids will still be cool but at least the dorks will have one less thing to be worried about. Money isn't […]

QotD: Political Slogan

Question: If you were running for President (or any public office, really), what would your campaign slogan be? My Answer: "No bullshit." I wouldn't get elected regardless of whether I honored it or not. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Christmas Presents 2K5

Question: What do you want for Christmas this year? Will you get it? My Answer: Nothing, and unfortunately, probably not. 🙂 You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Gun Gun Gun

Question: When is the last time you fired a gun? My Answer: Months and months ago. I need to find an indoor gun range or something to get in some practice. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.
