For many European students, school is just around the corner, and for many others, it’s already begun. And as you all know, as soon as it starts, it seems like no time at all has passed, and the first period has already ended and you’re counting your savings or begging your parents for that brand […]

There comes a time every couple of years or less in which you have to change earphones. My time came now, and once again I decided to choose Sennheiser over all other medium-priced earphones. The result is astonishing.
The difference between these and my old and cheaper Sennheiser earphones wasn’t as great as the difference I […]

Anyone remember the ol’ Site
Finder Service from Verisign? Claiming that it was for the benefit of normal end users, it basically wildcarded *.com and threw up a page full of ads when a domain did not exist.
Now, ads on domains are a very large business. We won’t go into details here, but estimates are that […]

Over on BloggingPro.com there is an article up where various online CSS optimization tools were tested on popular websites to see how much they could reduce the CSS file size by, without breaking the look and feel of the site.
CSS optimizers do a variety of voodoo magic to get the end result. This includes merging […]

The Griffin RocketFM is a small USB device that allows you to transmit audio from your PC to a nearby stereo system. When I first thought about the concept, I was all excited. I could use my stereo as a second set of speakers to play my music, as my current speaker setup on the […]

USB Multimedia Controller Knob
For a while now, Griffin Technology has had out many products for PC’s and Mac’s as well as the iPod. Once such piece of equipment is the Griffin PowerMate, a USB multimedia controller knob.
I recently got to test the device, and have to admit that while I am impressed by many […]

A few months ago, after witnessing Gaim’s releases slowing down, and being unhappy with the lack of customization the newest version offered I decided to give Miranda IM a try. However, the sheer amount of time it took me to just be able to see each other people’s avatars, and for them to see my […]

As promised a few days ago, I bring you now a short, but reasonable review of Aptana, the self-entitled web IDE.
When I first opened the program, there were things that quickly surprised me, and then I started feeling constraints.
The first thing I liked and enjoyed about the program is it’s similarity to Dreamweaver (from now […]

The Web 2.0 hype machine is in full swing. YouTube is supposedly worth a billion dollars. Fantastic websites are popping up left and right. And for many, you are just a registration away from the gloriousness of social nirvana.
And yet while these massive valuations and VC investment numbers fly around, it seems like finding decent […]

Everyone that has ever felt or used a Click Wheel has probably wondered how it works. When I bought my Nano, I thought it would work in a similar way to a PDA, but it works even when it’s inside a sock/container or your pocket (which can sometimes be troublesome if you accidentaly turn up […]

My fiance is going to kill me for publishing this, but she is one of the 75%. When she turns on the computer, I get nothing but questions. The Xbox 360 was an alien device to her until I showed her Zuma, and now I can’t get her off of it, but the truth remains, […]

eMule
Audacity
Creative Commons
Ogg
PHP
Wiki
Azureus
Open Office
Linux
Firefox
No doubt some of you have your own thoughts on […]

I’d like to write the first entry in what may turn into a series, however I haven’t decided yet. My first victim is going to be GoDaddy. I’ve never liked GoDaddy. They suck…..hard. Anybody who uses them knows that there administration system is crappy, and the signup process for […]

Wired has released their list of the most Wired companies.
What makes a company wired? We start by looking for the basics: strategic vision, global reach, killer technology. But that’s not enough. To land a spot on our annual Wired 40 list, a business also needs the X-factor – a hunger for new ideas and an […]

Being an iPod Nano owner, the protection of it shell has always been a big worry to me. Even though I already glued an “Invisible Shield” cover on it, I can’t help fear dropping it everytime I take it out of my pocket and leaving a large, and undesirable, dent on it. Therefore, given the […]
