We the bespectacled

Many geeks find that the world is out of focus. The world doesn't make sense. Then we get our first pair of glasses and everything shoots into focus again. Having experienced problems with my own spectacles, or glasses as they are commonly known, has gotten me thinking that there might be a way to tweak my PC monitor to offset my myopia (shortsightedness). If it worked, there would also surely be a way to help people with hyperopia (longsightedness). I'm not sure how you'd do it though. The pi… Continue

reistry fix -problems

one of the biggest factors for to swap to a mac (apart from costs) is the on going crusade against my laptop/pc slowing down over time. I never understood why this used to happen and was always reluctant to try new programs or new software for fear of slowing things down even if i have completely removed something there is always a nagging suspicion that something has been left behind. Anyway I have tried reg fix programs in the past with varied results, even losing personal data on once occasio… Continue

Mac/PC for a gamer & Video

Hey there, i know theres quite a few blog posts out there about whether to get mac or pc, ive had pc's all my life and only ever used macs at school. but at schools they limit what you can do on it so i never got to experience the true mac experience. My DV9700 laptop recently went through the big NVIDIA GPU chip problem widely spread but not properly compensated for, so far ive had to pay $600 (NZD) to get the mainboard replaced and its failed twice since then, luckily replaced for free each t… Continue

Trying to Get Internet On A Win98 PC via Comcast

Hey guys. I have an old Windows 98 PC lying around and I was wondering if there was any way you guys could help me get internet on it. When the guy from Comcast came out to setup the Modem and DVR's, he told us that Comcast Internet would not work on it. So we went out and bought a new PC with Vista on it. I was hoping I could get the internet to work... there isn't even an ethernet port anywhere on it. Yes, I do have a wireless connection, but it's close enough to the router *currently* to ho… Continue

Windows 7 Release

What is happening on Oct. 22, 2009? Well if the title doesn’t answer it then I don’t know what to tell you, it’s the release of Windows 7. The successor to Windows Vista, what 7 promises to bring to the table is faster loading time, new codec support, new taskbar, and reliability. It’s everything Windows Vista wasn’t and in many was is what Vista should have been. Now Vista was not an Epic Fail, like Windows ME, but more of a smudge between Windows XP and Windows 7. I teste… Continue

Aren't we tired of Mac vs PC yet?

From what I can tell, this is everyone's favourite subject. It must be; it's on every single page I look at! So here's what we can draw from the forums so far: "Better PC": 778 "Better MAC": 930 "Better Windows": 1241 "Better osx"+ "Better os x"+ "Better mac os": 686 So there: we love the Mac hardware but the software sucks. Ooerr...that can't be right...err...we love Windows when it runs on the Mac? So maybe I've just wasted 10 minutes of my time drawing no conclusion at all. So can't we jus… Continue

What I think of onlive

I think Onlive is going to be a great service I love to play games, but I also love physical media being able to touch something and look at it. This is why I would rather have a physical disk, rather than to have digital content. I also feel this way about steam and other downloadable game services, but the reason that I have an open mind about Onlive is because it is streaming media. I'm already signed up for the beta program and would love to own it if it is cheap enough. I own a PlayStation… Continue

Perfect Keylogger Review

A keylogger is a program that logs all the keystrokes that are typed on a computer. Perfect Keylogger can be used on PCs and Apple computers. It can capture passwords, chats, internet history, screenshots, etc... Additionally, it is able to send the logs to any E-mail or FTP address.

Think of the opportunities when using this kind of program; imagine playing a prank on your ex and capturing her/his password and all her/his chats. If you are a parent; surveying

Novice and New Computer Users

Novice and new computer users are disheartened by technology due to the flaws and problems plaguing Microsoft Windows. This leads them to thinking computers are terribly complicated and don't bother using them. There are major differences between using a PC and a Mac. One vital factor is price. Macs are very expensive so people don't tend to think it is 'worth' it, so they buy a cheap PC instead. Great, what a bargain! For £300 they got say for example, a 15" 2Ghz Intel Core Duo with an Intel… Continue

Is Linux Ready For Prime Time?

I my 40 some years I have witnessed and used many PC operating systems. Some of these have been from almost the beginning of time (computing) itself (man am I old). I have used almost all OS flavors at one time or another since the start of the PC revolution. My son, now 15, often wonders how we could survive without a computer as he has never know life without one. In any case most of the o… Continue

Luckily, sis has a dongle But the laptop won't support it So I'll use the dongle on my main PC How the heck do I select all with this Ericsson interface? Oh, there it is - mark all, send via bluetooth Turn off bluetooth security for the 5 odd minutes to get the pictures over. Ok, got the pictures on my m… Continue
