First question is who is running this company? Desperation time I see. In any case what would make anyone even remotely tempted to bring their laptop into a McDonalds while drinking a large soda and eating their large fries and Quarter Pounder with cheese? I always thought McDonald’s was a fast food restaraunt in the [...]

I am going to say it now for everyone to read. Linux is going to be big time one day. Yep, everyone is going to know about it. Once you get PeopleSoft supporting you there is really nothing else to conquer.
Seriously though, it is good to see another major software vendor jump on the Linux [...]

I am still waiting to see how the whole mobile industry shakes out. Some people claim that PDAs are on their way out and those swiss-army-phones are on the way in. It seems Intel could care less as long as they sell their processors.

Intel has announced a new family of processors based on Intel XScale [...]

Urly is a slick little utility to let you manage those “to-do” URLs, ones that don’t necessarily deserve a bookmark, but you want to save for later. It sits nicely in your dock and let’s you compile a running list of URLs without overcrowding. Adding a URL is as simple as dragging the [...]

For gamers the knock against LCDs has been that their pixel response times are too slow causing “ghosting” in games and sometimes DVDs. For a long time the sweetspot was 20ms, then 15ms. Now BenQ has released a 12ms LCD which proves to be the fastest kid on the block right now. PC Mag gives [...]

Too bad Jarrod got one before they added a Superdrive and dropped the price on these. Still waiting for that sub-$1k system that comes without a monitor. Everyone in the world does not need a fully integrated computer and not everyone in the world can afford a $3,000 machine. Let’s find a happy median some [...]

If you use Windows you owe yourself to give this little app a shot. Although it is shareware you might find it useful enough to pay for.

True Launch Bar is a replacement for the standard Quick Launch bar. All functions presented in Quick Launch are also in it. Fully compatible with Quick Launch because it [...]

For anyone that really believes India is not a force to be reckoned with they can go back and crawl under their shell. However, there is one major flaw that is inherent in the Indian society that I have yet seen been touched on by the media and that is the amount of languages present [...]

I have decided to open up comments for my entries. Why? Because I like to hear what people have to say. Hopefully MT-Blacklist can keep the spammers at bay, but if worst comes to worst I will simply just close them after a couple of weeks.

This isn’t a gadget per se, but it is hard to classify CONCRETE THAT TRANSMITS LIGHT!!!!!!. The technology uses an embedded solutions of fiber optic glass so in reality it is not really “concrete” so to speak, but is as strong as concrete. This would be so cool to have in my room.

“Thousands of optical [...]

A new website for all of you Apple fans. Basically an Apple blog with reviews, but so far it has been a good read.

First, the obvious question: why Macsimum Perspective? Second: a better question: why not? There’s never been a more exciting time to be a Mac user and Apple fan. After years of covering [...]

Linux.com are back with another in the excellent series titled “CLI for noobies”. This time they discuss the test command and show its uses. Guess I am a noobie because I didn’t even know about this command.

The test command allows you to conditionally perform some task based on the existence, type, or status of [...]

How they make this article without a screenshot of the final product is beyond me. Oh well, if you are looking to build something mini then you might have a look at this. Otherwise you are better off checking out what JC posted yesterday.

Small form factor PCs are all the rage. But these days, you [...]

waylman writes: I’ve wanted to do this for some time but the commercially available touchscreen dash mounted LCD’s only have video inputs and would not work with a computer. These guys have custom built a system that works.

At present, it delivers multimedia (DVDs, MP3s, CDs, Radio, etc), Navigation, Engine Diagnostics, Network and Wireless capability, [...]

I am currently without Safari at the moment so if anyone could help me with the CSS and getting this layout working it would be greatly appreciated. I know I could use the free tools to work on it and I have, but it would be much easier to have Safari in front of me [...]

I love reading articles about Supercomputers based on clustered technology. It always gives me the idea that I can just bulid them in my garage without any worries. Then I wonder what would I really use it for? Then I wonder does it really matter? They are just so cool to have. Here are some [...]
