After receiving and installing 4 gigs of ram and a Geforce 9500 GT graphics card from Newegg, all is well for my brothers computer. One downside was that his Dell Dimension desktop only allocates 3.3 gigs of ram being that his system is only 32 bit. Oh well. Ram was only around $20 anyway and went in pretty easily.
In terms of the new graphics card, we had some troubles. After removing and disabling the old graphics card and drivers, we took off the case, ripped out the old one and started to p… Continue

So USB 3.0 (aka Superspeed USB) is starting to come back into focus after a few months of circulating rumors. USB 3.0 is finally here. Well, at least the technology is. According to Wired, “The first USB 3.0 devices probably won’t show up until the end of 2009 or early 2010.” It is a very good step in the right direction. USB hasn’t been upgraded since 2.0 was released about 8 years ago.
The new upgrade comes with some MAJOR perks. In addition to being faster (10x faster than USB 2.0 and 6x fas… Continue

Twitter, for the most part, is a reliable, micro-blogging service. It offers users with a free connection with their friends and online personalities around the globe.

For the past few days, this has been quite the hot topic for tweeters, as the website collects all Direct messages that were sent incorrectly. The result is an archive of embarrassi… Continue

This is a follow up post to one on Mashable:"5 Reasons to Install Google Desktops Today". Please join me as I tear this app. to pieces.

When it comes to external storage, the iPod really goes overlooked. It may look small, but some of these devices can pack up to 160Gb of data!

It is extremely portable and easily accessible through USB. Here's a few simple steps to make your iPod storage capable.

I've had a lot of people asking me how I made my favicon for my site, so I figured I would just tell you all. If you don't know what a favicon is, it is that little icon/picture in the address bar. See mine for an example:
Like humans, computers have feelings too. Sometimes they decide to eat your disk and keep it, shut down for no reason, lock their keyboards or not boot up. In this day in age, just like people, we shouldn't just turn them away and send them into repair. Just how you wouldn't go straight to the doctor on the onset of a runny nose, you shouldn't panic and ship your computer out when it is experiencing problems. Yes, this analogy is going a little far, but it does make sense. When you have computer… Continue
