On a more serious note, I still wonder why “smell” devices haven’t become mainstream yet.

As if Microsoft’s console didn’t already have a wide range of problems, like overheating, or disk recognition issues. It appears that some models, mainly the ones built in December 2006, damage your disks. A Dutch consumer advocacy show recently made the issue public by showing in a video that the console really does scratch the […]

The Internet has changed so much in the last 12 years it is almost hard to fathom. When you look at what we pay for high speed Internet access now, it’s almost hard to imagine it ever being another way…but it was…oh boy, it was. In 1995 getting online was done in an […]

John Martellaro from the Mac Observer has posted an interesting article regarding the Apple operative system. It doesn’t really teach much, but it does explain why Microsoft continues to struggle to maintain their products secure, while Apple continues to cruise by.
“The difference isn’t market share, it’s the foundation of the operating systems. Given that most […]

Nintendo fans can sometimes be really scary. Actually, I think that all fans can be scary in one way or the other if they put their minds to it. In any case, someone recently went through the trouble of replacing the textures on Super Mario 64 with some from the classic NES title.
The result is… […]

I just recently searched through eBay to find help for my project. I knew I was going to need some equipment, and not only that, I was on a very tight budget. Buying a house drains money fast, who knew?
The first thing on my list was seeing if I could increase the range of my […]

I am getting ready to move into a house with three floors, including the basement, and that means I won’t be as close to my wireless router as I currently am in my tiny two bedroom apartment. One of the things that bothers my wife the most is the Cat5e cable I have running around […]

Japanese sure love their mechs. Heck, even I love “their” mechs, but still, I wouldn’t bring out $250000 for one. The figure is 125mm tall and weighs 1.4kg. Did I mention the price was a quarter of a million? Yeah, I think I did, and as crazy as this might sound on this particular day, […]

It seems that not all is going well in the popular MMORPG World of Warcraft. Despite Blizzard’s efforts to only ban people who engaged in illegal activities, their recent changes in the banning policy has stirred a bit of commotion among players:
“We changed our build bylaws,” Bonner said. “We will also take action if we […]

Ionut Chitu from the Google OS blog has recently posted about some newly discovered Easter Eggs in Google’s Personalized homepage. Basically if you set your clock to 3:14 am (which according to the author corresponds to the first numbers of the symbol Pi) you will see a different image at the header displaying one of […]

Any self-respected geek has probably dreamed about eating a cake shaped like his favorite console. Although that is a possibility, it is one not many can afford, or accurately create. But every now and then comes an eatable console recreation that just begs for attention.
Today we have a very detailed, DS replica that, unlike many […]

Including companies like YouTube, Ubuntu, Apple, Viacom, and Sony, Pete Cashmore has created an easy visual geek’s guide to good and evil. And while I don’t recognize all the faces or even all the logos, the ones I do recognize I agree with.

An interesting story showed up on Digg today about a writer who went to the cinema with his girlfriend decided to share his experience with the world about how the MPAA is making the home theater experience even worse.
I wonder what kind of dystopian cyberpunk future we live in when you are physically searched before […]

Over on Nomadishere there is a list that Justin Walton put up about geeks, and working happy. His list is for the most part very true, as I have come across some of these problems/issues at my previous work places. I wish they had this list in hand when they hired me.
The items are as […]

Although Sony’s latest NW Walkman didn’t excite the world of DAP players too much, maybe this size comparison between it and it’s direct competitors will change your mind a little. Although this isn’t exactly “new”, if you compared the measures of the 3 when they were released, now you can see that the three have […]

Arstechnica recently published an interesting analysis between the two popular Macbooks which might help solve your doubts about getting one or the other.
According to their data, the Macbook Pro is superior in all specifications, except for the battery life and height (the Pro is surprisingly thinner). But don’t go running to the stores just yet, […]
