Tha Apple store went down earlier today, now there’s two storage upgrades:
- The iPhone has now up to 16 GB (prices remain)
- The iPod Touch now up to 32GB (for a $100 more)
And so there’s an upgrade I’ve been looking for, still waiting for the new MacBook Pros.

According to a January Netcraft survey, there’s around 155,583,825 Web Sites on the Internet. That’s a hell of a lot to check out.
Two other interesting data points:
- Growth had slowed from 5.4 million new sites in December to just 354,000 new sites in January;
- Apache serves, which have been in the lead but suffering a long decline has been surging lately, and at the expense of Microsoft.

20 Things I learned from Tech Support
Posted on January 25, 2008
Filed Under: Geeky Articles, Lists
- As long as the world turns, users will still have problems
- Substance abusers and computer operators are the only folks called users. This isn’t by chance
- When in doubt. Reboot
- Sooner or later you will meet a person who types out the words “backslash” or forgets to plug in the power cord. If you haven’t yet, just wait, you will
- Fear the phone. No one just calls tech support to wish you good morning
- No user will tell you the whole truth at the beginning of a call
- “I didn’t do anything” or “It just happened” Are the users mantra
- As a support tech, it is your job to break down resistance and get the truth
- This is so you can rub the lie in their face, fixing the issue is just a perk
- Some people will never learn
- This means you will always have a job
- Maintain a calm voice, even if you’re screaming on the inside
- The hold button is your friend
- Whatever you do, don’t panic
- The answer to all users questions should be “Trust me, I know what I’m doing” even if this is a bald-faced lie
- Users can smell fear. Once you’ve lost control, all is lost
- A user who is not listening to you anymore, but rather is trying “their own thing” is not worth your time. Simulate a telephone disconnect and hang up. Trust me, you’re better off.
- Sometimes fixing a computer is easier than figuring out why it was broken
- Users always want a reason things are fixed. If you’re not sure just lie. They won’t know anyway. “A stray electron passed through the processor and caused…”
- If possible ask to speak to the youngest person present
