For some reason, you want to erase your online tracks. We’re not going to discuss why – I’m sure you have an excellent reason to do so. The process involved in deleting your history and all the files associated with it depends entirely on what browser you happen to be using. We’ll start with Google [...]
The Steam client has, unfortunately, porked up quite a bit over the years. Even though it needs to go on a serious diet, you can still fortuantely slim down the client by purposely choosing “Small Mode” and disabling a few features to get it running relatively speedy. Check out the video below to see how [...]
If articles like this one get you a little concerned about whether what you’re posting to SkyDrive is “acceptable” or not, you can simply put your files into 7-Zip archives, put a password in front of the archive and encrypt it to safeguard your stuff. Note: This is not an invitation for people to post [...]
Truth: You really don’t need that much computing power to play a DVD. Truth: You really don’t need that much computing power to play a 1080p video file, be it MP4, AVI (in any number of variants), MOV or what-have-you. Truth: You do need good amount of computing power just to play Flash and Silverlight [...]
AutoHotKey, arguably the best macro app you could use for Windows, is something I personally use on a daily basis. One custom script type I programmed was the ability to output the date anywhere I am in the Windows environment when I need it auto-typed in somewhere (in a document, email, chat, etc.) The video [...]
Interested in giving Linux a go, but not sure if you want to get rid of Windows to use it? Well, you could always try booting it in a virtual machine, or replacing the operating system on an old PC. Alternatively, you could try dual booting. Now, this is easier said than done, because most [...]
Everyone knows (and if you don’t, now you do) that YouTube has the absolute worst online community on the internet, and this is undisputed. Have no fear, because Herp Derp for YouTube is here. The way it works is simple. All comments are replaced with herp and derp. Example: Herp Derp is a mandatory Chrome [...]
The calculator app in Windows 7 isn’t what you’d exactly call exciting because, well, it’s a calculator. However there are significant improvements over WinXP’s calculator that are really easy to miss. For much of what you will see in the video below, you probably use specific web sites (or maybe even smartphone apps) to get [...]
Microsoft Excel’s actually a lot more versatile than some folks give it credit for being. There’s a lot you can do with a spreadsheet, if you know what you’re doing, and you can actually put together some pretty advanced stuff. We’re not going to get too much into macros and visual basic today- that’s a [...]
There’s a reason the MP3 audio format completely obliterated WMA (Windows Media Audio) as the preferred choice – it works everywhere. On PCs, on laptops, on smartphones, in many car stereos, etc. The more places a specific media format can be used, the better it is. With video, the same is true, except instead of [...]
You’ve probably heard someone trumpeting the latest indie game. You’ve probably caught wind of the Humble Indie Bundle. You’ve probably seen someone advertising an indie title on Kickstarter. If you use Steam, you might have even seen EA’s Indie Bundle (they’re doing it wrong, by the way). So what is an independent game? Just what [...]
In this article I’m going to specifically concentrate on Google Chrome and Opera memory management. Google Chrome 20 The first question Chrome users would have concerning this is: “Whadya mean Chrome has memory issues? IT DOESN’T!” Not at first. But it eventually will. Chrome is like IE in the respect that runs each tab as [...]
There are in fact many web browsers out there, but the four that people have actually heard of are Windows Internet Exporer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera. Before starting, yes there is such a thing as a web browser that hardly uses any memory at all, and that’s the text-based type like Lynx, elinks [...]
Recently I did a video on how to get Firefox via FTP, and decided to try the same for the Opera browser. I found out that yes, you can download Opera the same browser-less way if you wish, but more importantly I discovered that yes, Opera does have a 64-bit version. I unfortunately cannot post [...]
In the Linux environment, it’s easy to install Firefox without a browser. An example would be sudo apt-get install firefox. In Windows however, the way you do the no-browser way is via FTP. Why would you need to know how to do this? As it states in the video, if you’re ever put into the [...]
