We all read reviews of games, movies, books and products quite frequently. The best reviews are the ones that try to be objective, unbiased, and thorough. After all, we mostly read them to find out more about a given product … Continue reading →

I don’t want to say “I told you so“, but… I told you so! Zune sales just plain suck! If your product is being outsold by Sandisk you know that you are in trouble. I don’t even know what Sandisk … Continue reading →

This is awesome: Metacafe vodeo link found via haha.nu I think this could be a cool educational tool to teach kids multiplication on large numbers. I’m guessing there is some mathematical theory that proves how it works. [tags]lifehack, multiplication, cool, … Continue reading →

Recently I noticed that on most of my comments, the browser detection plugin identifies my OS as Linux. When I went back and looked at some of my past comments, they were correctly identified as Ubuntu Linux. This confused me … Continue reading →

I successfully completed an upgrade from Hoary to Dapper. The process was relatively smooth but I experienced couple of bumps on the road. If you are trying to do something similar here is what do you have to do: Edit … Continue reading →

I was coming back from work last night, and I noticed a long winding line in front of my local BestBuy store. For a second there I was confused, until I remembered that today was the PS3 launch. I wanted … Continue reading →

I need a change. I’m sick and tired of screwing around with Hoary. I feel like I’m left behind, with respect to new packages and etc. I don’t think that Firefox 2.0 will ever end up in Hoary repositories – … Continue reading →

This story is beyond disturbing. How the hell can you run a bank if you let things like this happen? Some dude apparently sold a bike on Craigslist and got paid with a odd looking check. When he went to … Continue reading →

Big thanks to STop for pointing this out to me. If you ever tried to install IE6 under Wine you probably know that at times it may be a major pain in the ass. Not anymore. IEs 4 Linux provides … Continue reading →

Have you seen these yet? They actually look really good: They are made by McFarlane Toys, and you can see the whole range here. They even have a little Hatch diorama. :) Kate seems a little bit off (maybe because … Continue reading →

People need to fucking stop whining about: Cell Phones – I’m sick and tired listening to people constantly whining that they are slaves to their own cellphones. Here is a little tip: switch it off. Cell phones have an off … Continue reading →

Apparently Zune is not compatible with Vista and the installation program must be run in WinXP SP2 compatibility mode. This makes absolutely no sense to me! Vista is supposed to be released before the end of the year. How the … Continue reading →

You know those little pictorial airline safety instructions? ZeFrank is know for frequently making fun of these things on theshow. Most of these do not have captions because they are supposed to be easy to understand for anyone. I don’t … Continue reading →

According to the latest study posted on slashdot, pr0n constitutes only 1% of the available, searchable Internet content. I am totally stumped! Here we all thought that the internet is for porn, but it turns out that it is not! … Continue reading →

I found this list today via Homo-Adminus, and I think it’s really worth sharing: 84 MySQL performance tips. Some of these are common sense (eg. index stuff, but don’t index everything), while other are little nuggets of awesome DBA knowledge … Continue reading →

Do you need to Wii? comic © comissionedcomic.com Will making fund of the name of this console ever get old? :mrgreen: [tags]wii, nintendo wii, comic, humor, console, commisioned[/tags]

You know it does! img © microsoftshitbrick.com Nothing says you are cool more than carrying a brown brick in your pocket. No matter what the fanboi’s say, it’s not as good as iPod. [tags]zune, shitbrick, brick, brown brick, brown zune, … Continue reading →

Every once in a while I have to do some manual laptop setup. I physically get to crank out the new machines out of the boxes, run the initial windows setup and then go through the motions of removing installing … Continue reading →

I have been messing around with Google Maps API at work, trying to create a nice overlay showing all the cities in which we provide services. It’s still a work in progress, but I decided to have some fun with … Continue reading →

I think Zune will share the fate of all other wannabe iPod killers, and it’s sales will tank. Here is why: Zune wants to be an iPod killer. Can you name 3 other iPod killers of the top of your … Continue reading →

Ghacks has a nice overview of the PS3 launch titles. I have to say, that they all kinda suck. Nothing in that lineup makes me want to spend that 1k to get the console. Firs of all, I hate most … Continue reading →

Recently I watched both Dawn of the Dead and Shaun of the Dead as well as some other random oldish Zombie flicks they were airing on TV recently. So I have been thinking recently – what would you do? Let’s … Continue reading →

I was in the store today with my brother Ark. He is one of those people who religiously wears Converse all year round (even when it’s below zero and there is 6″ of snow outside). He was unhappy with the … Continue reading →

Wohoo! I just got the brand new Eldar Codex in the mail: Please be warned that a rant about how GW nerfed the shit out of x, y and z and how they awesomized q is in the making. :mrgreen: … Continue reading →
