Nearly all web pages today use styled text via means of what’s known as Cascading Style Sheets, or CSS for short. However, one portion of web design that’s largely ignored is reading anything in teletype/monospaced text. Web forms, programming code, block-quoting in forums and a whole bunch of other stuff use a teletype font often. Since most...

So, you want a bit more storage space for your files, do you? Got too much music? Too many movies? Too much material of an illicit nature? Whatever the reason, you’re going to want an external hard drive. And in much the same way as a computer, you’re going to want to care for it and maintain it. External drives might not require as much maintenance...

If you hang out on the ‘net at all, you’ve probably heard of this weird little website (well, maybe not so little- it’s got over one hundred seventy-five million users at the time of writing this) called Twitter, represented by a tiny bluebird.

(Note: No-network version is $25 and the one with Ethernet is $35.)Some of you may be asking, "Why would I want a computer with a sub-1GHz CPU that...

(My local phone company eventually offered local ISP access and that’s what I ultimately used.) Sucks in...

It’s that time of the year again. First year University students are stumbling into post-secondary institutions, wide-eyed and scared, with no idea of what they’re doing, where they’re going or how they’re going to get there. Those who’ve been in the institution for a while are shaking off the after-effects of a summer of binge...

For those of you with larger displays, you will find this to be a very useful tool for the resizing of browser, image editor, word processor, spreadsheet windows and a whole lot more.
