I’ve spent the last few weeks away from the internet dealing with life issues. In a short time away it seems like things have changed so rapidly. In a recent ComputerWorld article they make some interesting points about how not to long ago the internet was unknown, rapid access to knowledge was limited to libraries, […]

Look closely folks, there are no magic tricks here.  But I’ve caught this funny article via Engadget and thought that you forevergeek readers may find it hilarious too.
Before clicking to read this entire article, memorize the photo above.  It’s a stock photo of a kid using a Macbook… probably to promote the use of technology […]

Guitar Hero III is a kick-ass game that has actually encouraged a lot of people to pick up a real guitar and learn how to play it. But if musician Charlie Daniels, he wouldn’t have anything to do with the game.
Daniels’ song “The Devil Went Down to Georgia”, appears as the climactic song to Guitar […]

Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates said that Windows 7 is soon to be released next year.  He was quoted to be super “enthused” about it because this has been such a long wait already.  Well as a user of ALL of Microsoft’s Windows operating systems (20+ years, ouch!), I’ve been re-learning to be super-enthused with Bill […]

According to the recently-published 2008 Digital Entertainment Study (PDF file) by Entertainment Media Research, the lack of choices and alternatives contributes more to piracy than than the fact that bootlegged wares come free or cheap.
At least 70% of respondents in the UK study says that legal sites don’t offer as much downloads than their illegal […]

I’ve finally fixed my home theater system at home.
It took me more than a year to finally put everything in its proper place and I’m quite happy with the results. I currently have a 5.1 system with Mission speakers all around. I have now properly placed my surrounds at the back and I am […]

Postsecret might have been around for a while, but it’s something that I haven’t blogged about.  This is for a couple of reasons, but not least as I didn’t feel I had a forum in which to express what I really felt about the site.  Now that I have more of a place to discuss […]

I had a little surprise treat during the Christmas weekend. One of the other remaining torrent site that I go to for music had a free leech “gift” to all of the members and I was able to get some really cool stuff off the site for almost ten days. I downloaded like crazy because […]

I’ve been so caught up with work and family over the past two years that, truthfully, aside from music, I pretty much stopped all of my other hobbies. I rarely played games and STOPPED reading comics.
But the realization that life is too short and that to celebrate life one has to indulge in one’s passions […]

So it has been a few weeks now, and Teaching Sells continues to be a popular product it is set up to teach people how to make their own membership based sites and make money online, and much like many Make Money Online sites, people bought into it faster than they could open their Paypal […]

After a couple of weeks of receiving some unusual comments at ForeverGeek, I took it upon myself and decided to clean the house.

Here are the lessons and other misc details that I learned from performing the hard task:

sploggers are using “new” techniques to have trackbacks (read links) from original content (read specific posts). Most of […]

So there’s been a lot of junk written about Microsoft valuing Facebook at $15 billion dollars. That’s a really great story - the only problem is that it’s not even remotely true.
Tech Soapbox explains it. Yes, Microsoft spent $240 million and got 1.6% of Facebook - but what everyone seems to be missing […]

As most of you already know already, Apple has officially announced Leopard’s shipping date, and Apple has re-lit it’s advertising campaign for the eagerly awaited 64bit Operating System. They were even kind enough to place most of those 300+ new features on a single page.
Besides all of the invisible work done to the OS, like […]

We all known that RSS feeds make life easier for everyone, but one of the biggest problems (besides how easy it is to copy content) is that when an article is published and it “gets” to the RSS reader, the content being displayed is the “original” stuff.
In other words, you can modify and save a […]

Which one sounds better?
IFPI - International Federation of the Phonographic Industry
IFPI - International Federation of Pirates Interests

The first option represents the recording industry (with popular names such as Akon, Nelly Furtado, and more), while the second option is related to the folks from Pirate Bay.
In the recent past, IFPI.com was owned by the “good” […]

Last week I covered some of the best email spam subject lines I had in my Spam folder, but to tell you the truth, they weren’t good at all.

A few minutes ago I re-visited the spammy folder, only to find out that there are better spam lines than before. If you don’t believe me, […]
