Launchpad is one of those features of OS X Lion that makes you scratch your head a little bit. It brings the app screens from iOS over to the Mac.Now, some Mac users will just openly accept this because, well, it came from Apple. Others (like me) find it annoying that Apple is trying so hard to make a Mac operate like an iPad. And, Windows users probably just...

A lot of people out there are fond of Dell laptops. And, their XPS 13 line is pretty slick. I mean, as a Mac guy, I could sit here and tell you its just a Macbook Air clone, but alas, it is a slick little ultrabook. Recently, Dell announced the XPS 13 available with Ubuntu. In a world dominated by Windows, and a lot of new computers coming bundled with Windows...

AirPlay is really a very cool technology. Wirelessly stream video to your TV. Doesn’t get better than that. To use AirPlay, you would need an Apple TV. It is currently priced at only $99, and given all that it can do, it is a pretty good buy. Apple being Apple, all of their stuff tends to work together pretty well. So, if you want to Airplay an iPad or...

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...

As I’m sure many of you do, I have a Netflix account. It’s pretty awesome- for a paltry $10 a month, I’ve access to a whole library of movies and TV shows which I can watch whenever and wherever I desire (so long as I’ve a stable Internet connection, anyway). Unfortunately, since I live outside the United States (I’m based up here...

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...

It takes a very specific, very special kind of person to knowingly violate the law – and an even more special kind to talk about it on Facebook after the fact. I’ve said time and again in my posts that you need to watch what you say online – or, at the very least, make sure you’ve got your privacy settings properly configured....

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...

At the time of writing, it’s been about a week since I received a rather interesting email from CNet, detailing a question I’m sure at least a few of us have asked ourselves in the past: is saving your log-in information in your web browser a bad move? After all, it’s something a lot of folks do, particularly in this era of paranoia, where...

For those of you who haven’t heard yet…there are many people who think Windows 8 will be bad for the gaming industry. Very bad. Gabe Newell (the powerful, rotund personality behind Steam, the world’s largest digital video game distribution platform), one of the designers of Starcraft (pretty much the most popular real time strategy game ever...
