I remember when I first got into computers, and the Internet, I quickly began to wonder why, especially in Canada where I live, there was not more virtual classrooms, or digital classrooms, where students use technology to better understand what was being taught, and could even do so from home.
It could create scenerios where students […]

Today I decided to give Flock a short run, and see what all the commotion was about, or if there even is any.

So read on to see what I think about it.

LifeHacker has a special article up where they give simple instructions on changing the settings of a Linksys WRT54GL Wireless router so that it performs much better than the stock configuration.

It looks like gamers might have two or three cards in their computers to run the next generation of games, atleast if AGEIA and ATi have their way. AGEIA already has their PhysX hardware out, and ATi is talking about releasing their own Physics card.

Many complain about the last product, due to the price you pay just for the black coating being around $100, […]

Nude photos on Flickr. AdSense on mature websites. Obscene photos on wiki encyclopedias. Corporate blogs on personal blogging services. We’ve seen ‘em all. Sometimes we click that feedback link and report the offense to the appropriate authorities, but in most cases, we just turn a blind eye. In most cases, after all, one wouldn’t expect […]

Blogging is the realm of the elite.
This was one striking sentiment echoed time and again in a recent blogging summit I attended (where I was a speaker/panelist on Pro-Blogging). The statement was in light of the following observations that several individuals–experienced and novice bloggers alike–share:

Digg is 99% fantastic. Fast furious news, troll comments, sites being hammered
to oblivion - its Slashdot for the masses!

So while I was on the site today, I noticed two frontpage diggs for A List Apart. Also a wonderful site, it piqued my interest how both were submitted by
Spit1ire. So I did some digging of mine […]

If the word “geek” still conjures up images of bespectacled, pimple-faced, metal-mouth klutzy teenagers in your mind, then you must have been stuck in the 1950’s! This is the 21st century, and chances are, in most fields, whether in sports, the academe, business, government and—yes—technology, it’s the geeks who are likely to be in control […]

Over on Cnet there is an article up about Google Settlement of the Click Fraud case, and how it is not a fix for the problem, only a temporary band-aid.
Unfortunately, there’s no easy answer. Some experts say the solution is to have an independent auditor that would use data from the search engines and advertisers […]

I’ve always wondered how Bill Gates works. I mean, being at the top of one of the most successful tech companies ever, I come to think if he ever gets tired of technology, or if he ever uses a computer at all, or what version of Windows he uses (and if his installation crashes and […]

In a continuing competition with Yahoo, Google has announced a financial service properly named “Google Finance”. The new service gives you 15-minute delayed stock quotes, and incorporates some very nice Flash.

If you’ve ever owned a Dell product before, you’re probably familiar with Dell tech support. I remember back when I owned my old 8-pound Dell laptop I had so many problems with it. The screen constantly was flickering, it completely stopped working twice. The CD drive broke, and so did the touchpad. Yes, it was […]
