I’m seriously thinking about canceling my cable TV. It is one of those things I’ve been tossing around in my mind for awhile now. I keep threatening to do it, but then I get cold feet and end up never making the call. Why, you ask? I don’t know. Perhaps I’m just slow to accept change. I’m so used to having cable that the idea of...

Gesture control is all the rage these days. After all, there’s something inherently cool about being able to control your computer with a wave of your hand. It’s the sort of thing once reserved for the realm of science fiction, right up there with holographic user interfaces. While the latter is still a bit out of reach for the average user, the...

We’re a society that loves our technology with a passion, and one of the pieces of hardware that’s become almost indispensable to us in recent years is the smartphone. And why shouldn’t it be? It’s basically an all-in-one mobile computer and communications device, which can play games, surf the Internet, give us directions, help us...

Previously, I posted an infographic which dealt with the intricacies of social media addiction, its impacts on one’s day to day life, and, finally, how to tell if one was addicted. One of the most distressing features of that infographic was, without a doubt, the revelation of just how many people from the younger generation are, for all intents and...

It’s usually pretty easy to capture screenshots in a game. Most titles on the market now include some sort of hotkey for taking a picture, and even for those that don’t, you can always just use the good old “print screen” command. But what if you want to record some video, and you’re not interested in running a livestream? Things...

There is a particularly vile breed of scum populating the corners of the blogosphere. These men and women haven’t got a single shred of originality between them – yet somehow they continue to come up with new, regular, and fresh content for their blogs. That it’s not theirs is just a minor technicality – what the original authors...

You’d probably be hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t spend at least a few hours a day online – be they working, reading, socializing, or gaming. They’ve become more or less integral to our way of life – a fact which comes bundled with a few unpleasant truths. We’ve already talked a bit about how excessive computer use...

Clutter is one of the biggest problems with the Internet these days. Some websites are just designed in a sloppy fashion, or interrupted by advertising, poorly-placed images, or simply a terrible layout.  Furthermore, no matter where we go, or how we browse, there’s always something there to distract us, something vying for our attention. Maybe a...

While you can’t necessarily make millions working from home or working online (unless you’re a genius or prodigy of some kind), that doesn’t mean you can’t find employment on the web. There are plenty of jobs available online that put other work to shame. They’re the people we wish we could be, the ladies and gentlemen who do what...

I have a confession to make. This isn’t easy for me to tell you, and it might make you think considerably less of me. Ready? Here goes nothing…I have never used Linux before. I’ve had an interest in the operating system for a while, but I’ve simply never gotten around to trying it out. Feel free to take a few moments to stop laughing...
