Here’s something in the arcade gaming world that nobody thought would ever happen: Pinball machines – which are still made new to this day as shown above – are actually more popular than arcade video game machines. Quite a turnaround, eh? Pinball has been around a very, very long time – as in since the [...]
For this Chrome goodie I picked the game Isoball 3. I liked this game because it even though it’s Flash-based, it requires barely any computing power to run, and it’s ridiculously addictive. It’s not an action but rather a puzzle game, so you don’t have to race around or do anything that requires quick hand [...]
Gismeteo for Google Chrome is definitely one of the better weather apps I’ve seen for the browser, mainly for the reason it gives you the quick info you need to know right inside an icon, and on click gives you pretty much exactly what you were looking for concerning forecast information and so on. Most [...]
For this tutorial I’m going to how to block in the Hotmail email system. The main difference between filtering and blocking is that filtering allows the email to be received normally (even if filtered to the Trash folder) but blocking does not. When you block an address, the receiving mail server literally rejects it, a [...]
The way medicine is administered in the Star Trek universe is via a thing called a hypospray or “hypo” for short. Well, as you can see from the above video… that’s a hypospray. It’s not called that in the video, but it is a needle-less method of injecting fluids into the body. And the funny [...]
If you can believe it, the Mozilla Firefox browser is now 10 years old. Well, slightly older than that. Phoenix 0.1 (what it used to be called) was released 23-Sep-2002, which makes it 10 years and 2 days old at the time of this writing. The browser name Phoenix was dropped for Firebird, then that [...]
The first question you have is, “What’s the point of searching ended eBay auctions?” There’s actually a very good reason for it. Whether you’re a buyer or a seller, it’s important to see how much a particular item sold for before going to buy or sell the same item yourself. I’ll give a simple example. [...]
This will probably be the only time (at least from me) that you’ll ever see an unboxing video here. Why? Because unboxing videos are stupid, always have been stupid and always will be stupid. Unboxing videos either show the product barely being used or not used at all. Little to no information is given that [...]
The game being played in the video above is called The Hidden if you want to check it out, but what makes this video a gem (at least for the first 45 seconds of it) is the spot-on impression of Morgan Freeman. You know, the actor from movies like The Shawshank Redemption and Driving Miss [...]
If you hapeen to run the Firefox web browser portable-style, or you notice the browser has been acting slightly sluggish as of late on your computer, setting a manual limit for what the cache can hold may speed up your browser a bit. Doing this is no guarantee it will make the browser lightning fast, [...]
I’ve been a Garmin GPS user since 2005. The very first I ever bought was a Garmin StreetPilot i3 which I paid $400 for. Yes, really. I do in fact still own it (and was able to update the maps to the 2013 set with a little fudging), but the one I use these days [...]
On one of the crew t-shirts is seen “End of an Era”; that’s because Shuttle Endeavor in this video is getting prepared for its final departure – as in the last one it ever takes. America was at one point very “space crazy” where everyone was talking about it. Called the “Space Race”, it started [...]
It’s things like this that make you really wonder if owning Apple products are really worth it or not. As you can plainly see in the above video, Apple products are valuable. So valuable that there are thieves willing to ram an Apple store with a truck just to get the merchandise and fence it [...]
There are drop tests, and then there are drop tests. In the above video, the Kindle Fire HD is dropped. On the corner. On the back. And on the front. On asphalt. I don’t think you could ask for a better real-world test. Now in case you don’t want to watch the video above, here’s [...]
Yeah, Steam is coming to Linux. We’ve heard that for a while. But the project is gaining some, well, steam (couldn’t avoid that pun) and it looks like the Steam platform should really work well on Linux. The ever-present issue of course is the commercial aspect of the whole thing. The Linux community by nature [...]
