According to the folks at Engadget (and others, but I like them best), the original IBM PC turns 30 today! The original IBM PC, called the 5150, had a 4.77MHz 8088 processor, ran PC-DOS for an operating system, came with one or two 5 1/4 inch floppy drives and had 16 or 64K of RAM. [...]
My PC is admittedly on the old side, being built in 2006. I built her to last, however, and despite a few niggles, she’s still running well…well, mostly well. I’ve not reinstalled a new OS in over a year, maybe two at this rate (when did Windows 7 come out?) and I’m noticing all sorts [...]
So it’s no secret that…I’m just not that fond of Twitter. Rather than the order and structure of threaded conversations on other social networks, Twitter, to me, is just like one big chat room where everyone screams into the dark, hoping to be heard and replied to. I try to keep up with it a [...]
In checking my usual Android news sites, I found that someone had released a custom boot animation of the 11th Doctor’s Tardis over on xda-developers. Check it out: I just flashed it to my phone and it works like a champ! Now whenever I need to boot up my phone — which only happens after [...]
I’ve had the same PC for the same six years now. Why haven’t I upgraded, you ask? Besides monetary reasons, I haven’t felt that strong a desire to, honestly. My PC does everything I want — I built it to last — and has been running fine…until this past Friday. There I was, working on [...]
I’ve been spending a lot of time — besides looking for full-time employment, of course — tweaking the heck out of my HTC EVO 4G phone, which, if you’re unaware, runs on Google’s Android platform. Once you have rooted an Android phone, you can access to a whole plethora of capabilities. Lately, besides being able [...]
I’ve not written in a spell because I’ve been totally submerged in the culture of Android rooting. Rooting, if you’re unaware, is similar to jailbreaking an iPhone. It gives the user root access to their phone, allowing much more control over their device in new and exciting ways.
So remember a little while back that I said I was sticking with the iPhone? Yeah, well, things change, and about two weeks ago, I took the plunge away from the iPhone and AT&T (a limited phone with an awful carrier…yeah, I said it) to go to Sprint and the HTC EVO 4G. Why do [...]
Since I can’t think of an article to write today, I’ll post a question to y’all, if you don’t mind. I have a lot of friends who are of opposing sides to this argument. Some feel cloud computing isn’t secure enough to trust with their data. Others, like me, who put all of their information [...]
Say what you want about the controversy surrounding the secondary gaming market, whether you agree that it takes money away from developers or feel it’s just a great way to save money on games, one can see it’s not going away any time soon. Now, according to Gamasutra, two major retailers, Target and Best Buy, [...]
