Playstation Move just came out, and it’s pretty neat. I got one because I’m a tech nerd and wanted to see how it worked. I wasn’t disappointed. It’s extremely accurate and responsive. However, just like the Wii before it, companies feel the need to step in and ruin a good thing by releasing cheap snap [...]
This isn’t good. Intel has started to roll out upgrade cards for computers that contain their processors. What do these cards do? Well, they allow you to unlock additional processing threads and cache on the processor. But the shady thing is, the processor they put in the machine can already do that if you buy [...]
Earlier this morning, Twitter was infected with a cross site scripting flaw that allowed malicious Javascript to be entered into Tweets. The attacks ranged from black backgrounds to mouseover redirects to porn sites.

A while back, Trend Micro published an article I thought was interesting. I wish I saw it earlier. It talks about the security issues you open yourself to when you jailbreak your iPhone.

The race to 1gbps internet in the US is now over, and the winner is Chattanooga, Tennessee. They have now received the ability to access the internet at 1gbps…for a very hefty price: $350 per month. Ouch, especially when you see that people in Sweden can get 1gbps internet for $126 US. Again, the US [...]
If only this was real. If you’re like me, you sometimes eyeball measurements and it might not be right. In fact, most of the time it’s not. This invention helps solves that issue. It’s called Smart Finger, and they’re two thimbles you wear and it will measure the distance between them. So you can say [...]
Google has made a drastic change to the operation of its website. Usually they make minor updates that aren’t entirely noticeable by users, but this one is different. Google has started feeding search results instantly as you type, which they claim can save 2-5 seconds of your time. I assume it’s because while you’re typing, [...]
So, Google has launched a new tool called Scribe. As you type into the box, it will automatically suggest what word to use next. In fact, I wrote this article using Google Scribe. I was amazed when it knew what I was thinking of. There’s not much to say about it. It’s really best to [...]
