Ars Technica Confirms Total Lack of Knowledge as it pertains to “Human” Users
In: All News
28 Oct 2009I love the Ars Technica website. I read it regularly and find a lot of good information there. Unfortunately today was not one of those days. While I am beating this dead horse, I might as well get one more swat in. Ars posted “5 years later, 5 ways that Ubuntu has made Linux [...]
Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala – Review
In: All News
26 Oct 2009I am writing this blog post in the aptly named “Post Blog Entry” program I installed into the latest Ubuntu release. I installed this several nights ago, and think I finally have a decent grip to be able to give an honest review of the latest.

Windows 7 is coming, what do you need to know?
In: All News
11 Oct 2009Windows 7 is no secret. It’s been in the hands of technologists and geek enthusiasts for a long time now. On October 22nd it hits the streets. Should you be in line like it was a Windows XP flash back? The short answer is yes, the long answer is yes if you are buying [...]
Banks and auto makers crumbling, world in financial crisis and war, but Congressman Steve Cohen is worried about the NBA age restriction

Cohen, a member of the [...]

Time for the US Government to confront the European Union
In: All News
31 May 2009Yet another article today. The EU is saying that it’s going to take another approach. Instead of fines, or forcing Microsoft to ship without Internet Explorer, they are going to try to force Microsoft to include other browsers in Windows. This means that most likely Firefox and Opera would ship inside Windows.
The EU is Picking [...]

Windows 7 screams on netbooks. My wife and I both run it on MSI Wind netbooks with 1.5GB Ram flawlessly. Installing it isn’t so easy though. Netbooks don’t have optical drives and Windows 7 RC ships as an ISO to burn your own disc. What to do….
What You Need
First, obviously, download the Windows 7 RC [...]

How the European Union can wield it’s power responsibly
In: All News
13 May 2009I am addressing a subject which has become quite the hot topic this week, and that subject is the European Union’s stance towards antitrust, and the big tech firms it goes after for ‘breaching’ it. This isn’t the first post I’ve written on the subject this week, but after several heated conversations with my friends [...]
