Some sort of geeky Sh!t

Rockbox

New Mp3 payers are a bit like like Michael Jackson (remember him?), plastic surgery makes them look different but they are still the same on the inside. How many times have we been advertisings bitch, been mind raped into submission then given it up to temptation and brought that a shiny new gadget when your [...]

You know you read too many web comics when…

When you see references to other web comics you know you read too many web comics. Yesterday I was stoked to notice a reference to one of my favourite web comics Diesel Sweeties in Jeph Jacques’ Questionable Content strip. In QC strip 1998: Robocameos, in the third panel behind the shop assistant on the left [...]

Hacking QR Codes for fun

I first heard about QR codes a few years ago, it was mentioned briefly in a magazine. Being curious and the geek that I am I decided to investigate. Once I discovered what QR codes were and what could be done with them I started experimenting with them.

Computer nomenclature

People name their cars computer geeks name their PCs, gadgets and devices. They even have naming conventions. I like to name my PCs, gadgets and devices after characters or objects from my favourite SciFi shows. Gaming rig – Talon from Farscape. ASUS laptop – Pike, a Diagnostic Repair Drone from Farscape.

Web browser history

O Brave New World – Bungie documentary

Gaming geeks will probably have heard of Bungie. They are the studio behind Halo, you know that Xbox console game. This year is Bungies 20th anniversary, to celebrate the team have put together a 55 minute documentary covering the studio’s past, present, and future.

If you can’t innovate, litigate

Apple is so worried about Androids dominance and potential that it’s going to court. But Apples current litigation rampage is nothing more than patent trolling designed to stifle competition. It’s not about mobile phones or tablets it’s a war on Googles Android OS that is used on a bunch of different devices from mobile phones [...]

iPahuh wha?

Think Apple invented the tablet? Here is a hint, they didn’t, they just did to the iPad what they do to everything else, make it pretty and market it. All Apple ever does is build pretty products then market them to cash in on trends. Tablets existed in 1994 although they were a one trick [...]
