Pfeiffer’s testing showed time savings of 13.63 seconds when moving files between folders using the larger screen — 15.7 seconds compared to […]

There is an interesting and amusing article up on Free Software Magazine about saving money on subscription based software in the year 2056. While the article is pure fiction, it is interesting to note that it could be long before 2056 that almost all software is subscription only.
Microsoft has developed an innovative way to help […]

Geeks love their toys, specially big or powerful ones, so I guess it’s only natural for you to spot from time to to time a car with a geeky license plate. Geek24 put together a nice selection of pictures they found of geeky license plates. Here are my 3 personal favorites:

1.65 billion dollars. Thats how much Google just spent to acquire YouTube.

Ok… this was posted in Digg, and since it’s quality is not up with today’s standards there are many people who didn’t bother investigating the source and are trying to bury the article. Not that I’m asking any reader to go Digg or bury the article. If you check this site, as mentioned by one […]
