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 [...]
You can tell a lot about a person through observation. How they dress, how they behave in public, how they talk, how they move…and apparently, how they surf. Well, sort of. According to a study which will be published in an upcoming issue of IEEE Technology and Society Magazine, one’s browsing habits on the web [...]
Those of you familiar with the online gaming community can pretty much skip this post right over. I’m not telling you anything you haven’t already heard before – just very basic terminology that might overwhelm and confuse a lot of newcomers to a game like WoW or League of Legends. We’ll keep this short and [...]
As long as human beings have been communicating with one another, there have been bad eggs- people who, for one reason or another, see their fellow human beings as little more than a means to an end. These con artists think nothing of running their marks out of house and home, with little consideration for [...]
If you are (or maybe were by this point) a GoDaddy customer this week, life sucked for you because your site was down. Yeah sure, you got a free month’s credit for the downtime, but the point is your site was down for the count and there wasn’t a damned thing you could do about [...]
Proving once again that the internet is one of the most awesomest things ever, Flightradar24 tracks flights. In real time. The little jets move and everything. Seriously. You can actually bring up a map just about anywhere in the world and watch exactly where flights are right now, and as they move, the map auto-updates [...]
On the YouTube.com web site, every account has the ability to be configured not to play HD-enabled video by default: …and this is good. Even if you have a fast internet connection, I recommend using the slow-connection option because it makes the YouTube experience much, much quicker. However, the same can’t be said for other [...]
A Google Doodle is when Google changes its home page logo for something that recognizes and/or celebrates a specific events in history. One of the more notable they’ve done in a long time is a doodle on Star Trek’s 46th Anniversary of their first broadcast: This is one of the best they’ve ever done and [...]
Fact: 99.9% of you use email the wrong way. Fact: Most of you are forced to use email the wrong way. Fact: The reason we use email the wrong way is mainly Microsoft’s fault. I say mainly because Lotus (IBM) is also partially at fault as well. How email used to work when it was [...]
For a small while now there has been the ability to connect a Y! Mail account using IMAP, even for free accounts. As for why you can do it now and not before is because many mobile users prefer to access their mail via IMAP because it makes for easier synchronization, and also want the [...]
Many people develop viruses and they do it for a wide range of reasons. Maybe they’re looking to mine personal and financial information. Perhaps they’re trying to set up a zombie botnet to execute an attack of some kind. Could be they’re trying to force people into purchasing software. Or of course, they might just [...]
I have a really old Hotmail account (registered in 1998 if you can believe it) that I login to periodically just to keep the account active. When I go in there I check the Junk folder just to see if I get any legitimate emails got dumped there by mistake (which doesn’t happen too often, [...]
If you’re going to be gallivanting about the internet, you’re going to need to have a halfway decent password to protect your account from being hacked. Now, to be fair, most of the time, when an account or service is broken into, the fault lies solely with the user. Maybe they didn’t scan often enough for viruses, [...]
I find the term online stalker (or stalked online or online stalking or whatever other way the word stalk is used with online) to be rather interesting because it doesn’t mean the same today as it did ten years ago. In 2002, the mere mention of someone “stalking someone else online” struck terror into people’s [...]
A few years back you may have remembered all the hub-bub concerning the “white space” frequencies of what was formerly used for the television band spectrum, which Big Telco, Big Cable and a few others (even Google) fought each other for, tooth and nail. Well, it’s now 2012 and there’s this thing now called “Super [...]
