Must Have Application: Vol. 1
June 6th, 2010
I found something today, thanks to a friend & co-worker. This is an application he had on his iPhone that seemed too good to be true. Now, before I go too far, I have an HTC Hero (On Telus Mobility in Canada.) and it is treating me well. Now, I had always wanted more from the keyboard, and more or less just a bit more accuracy in typing with it, without the stupid suggestions it gives me.
Is Intel’s New Series Giving AMD a Better Image?
February 10th, 2010
Intel has been busy at work with new processors to put the Core 2 Duo/Quad names out and come in with their new line, the Core I series. Fantastic little things really, I plan on picking up an i7 920 D0 for my next build actually. That being said, there are some issues I would like to pick about this series, now don’t let this deter you, from it because really, there’s nothing terribly wrong with these, it’s the naming scheme and sheer blind moves that they’re making with them, the first 6 months of this series was simple and effective, especially from a sellers standpoint.
Cyanogen Asked to Desist
September 28th, 2009
Earlier this week the Android community learned what Google meant with Open Source. Clearly what Cyanogen, maker of CyanogenMod, had been doing something that violated their idea with their mobile operating system. The actions were a cease and desist order on Cyanogen making his popular mobile Operating System (OS). Many users are running this Operating System for many reasons, some of the main ones are stability, accessibility, and better resource usage. This is even more prevalent on the newly release Hero from HTC, which people have claimed to have been given last years hardware with next years ROM, I personally beg to differ, but that’s a whole other story.

Mac vs PC vs Linux
September 28th, 2009
So I’ve been in with computers for about 4 years now, and it’s come to my attention the absolutely childishness that goes on in commercials, over forums, and in general arguments (walk into Starbucks and say “Mac Sucks” or “Steve Jobs is an Asshole”) and see what happens. Now with the iPhone taking precedence over the lives of many, without them realizing it makes them rant and rave about their new lightsaber application, or the one that puts an Osama Bin-Laden beard and turban on the picture that was JUST taken of them. Or how it can “drink a beer and pour a new one up at the push of a button.” or even so far as a lighter for concerts. None of these have use, but you’re suckered into buying it like a damned fool.

Windows 7 Release Candidate Build 7100
May 9th, 2009
I love it. Plain and simple. I will recommend it to everyone, however only after full release. If you enjoy video games, do not touch the Release Candidate. It’s not working out for me. Punk buster does not work, so Call of Duty, Battlefield 2/2142, FEAR or Americas Army will not work online. Counter Strike works well, however I am having hardware problems, so I will no longer be using it. I may dual boot however, so I can use 7 regularly. At this current moment, I am severely debating a format re-install of Vista so that I can play games, and have some of my laptops functionality back. On a desktop this would work better, I’m sure of it. I am going to buy it for my next PC build, because I won’t be building one until Windows 7 is released. And I will get the Ultimate edition. Otherwise, give it a go. I am glad that I back everything up all the time, so the format will go by smoothly for me anyhow. Also, as a note for anyone doing the upgrade, uninstall any Anti-Virus programs, they get ruined on the install of Windows 7.
