Hey there, folks. In today’s issue, we’re going to have a look at a few terms and phrases specifically related to graphics and graphics cards. Naturally, we don’t have enough space to cover all of them in one article, so this is probably something we’re going to be revisiting at a later date. Ambient Occlusion: You’ve probably...

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, but it does save you from having to empty the cache manually...

Minecraft’s a pretty awesome game on its own. I’m not sure I can even count the number of hours I’ve spent in a virtual world, happily building whatever structure happens to pique my interest. As with most PC games, though, user-generated content makes the experience all the better. Due likely in part to the game’s programming language...

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 is very anti-commercial, yet at the...

It’s been a while  now since Google announced their plans to launch Google TV and now it’s time to learn more about it. There are new television sets on the market that are Google-enabled and if you haven’t had the chance to pick one up yet, you may be missing out. Google TV is a software While many people envision a TV set when they think of Google TV,...

Problem Steps Recorder is definitely something that’s worth getting to know, whether using it to send instructions on how to do something, or get help by sending a record of what you clicked on before you had a problem/got stuck/etc. The only unfortunate part is how hidden this feature is! I do wish it wasn’t so difficult to locate in the Windows...

Unless I’m mistaken, there are three ways to use keystrokes in Windows to switch tasks. The most famous is ALT+TAB which has been around in Windows ever since version 3.0. The second is ALT+ESC (which I don’t recommend because it has a habit of only working “when it wants to”). The third, introduced in Windows Vista and also present in...

Modern computing has one very negative side effect to it – clutter. With the positively staggering selection of applications available to us, it’s incredibly easy for the software on our systems to devolve into a terrible, chaotic mess – not to mention the fact that downloading and installing applications and updates is something of a herculean...

The KernelEx software which I did a video on fairly recently does in fact state that it will allow you to run Firefox 8 in Windows 98. Does it work? Indeed it does – HOWEVER – I don’t recommend doing it and stick with Fx 3.6.28 instead in the Win98 environment. You’ll see why by watching the video...

I mentioned the Anti-Aliasing Tuner for Firefox a while back, but being I just switched (mostly) over to Firefox 15, does this add-on still work? Yes, it does, thankfully. You can easily turn off that blurry-font nonsense easily and go back to a thicker, easier-read font rendering style with no problem by using this add-on. See the video below for details on how...
