AppleTV-GoogleTV

There are a few things that drive almost everyone crazy, one is paying for something that we don’t want. This has been a problem with the cable industry since it began in 1948 in Pennsylvania. Why should we have to pay for channels we don’t want? This is a question that people have been pondering for the last 5 years, and finally we are seeing some initiative on how to make this right. Apple and Google are two of the top tech companies in the world and they have both come out with their alternative to cable TV with their Apple TV and Google TV products respectively. More… →

Dropbox
I have always been one to tell people when I have found something very useful. I love to share great deals, or things that just make life easier and more enjoyable. Dropbox is not one of those things. Dropbox is more of a necessity to my workflow and everyday life and it should be apart of yours as well, no matter what skill level you have with computers.

How to Add lavaLamp Menu to WordPress 3.0+

by

[UPDATE - I no longer use the Lavalamp menu on this blog but I highly suggest visiting jQuery Lavalamp official site for all the up-to-date files and demo’s.

This tutorial is going to show how to install a lavaLamp menu (see the main menu on this blog) on a WordPress 3.0 or newer blog. When I first looked at the code I thought I may have to throw out the amazing new menu feature that is available in WordPress 3.0 and up.

You can often tell a bit about a person by what browser they use. The large population that uses Internet Explorer, which ships with Windows are usually not that technically savvy and are more of a target for a virus attack than anyone else. Malicious people know this and they try their hardest to find security flaws in Internet Explorer. If you’re using Internet Explorer, make sure you constantly update to the newest version, solely for security reasons. Microsoft finally released IE9 in Beta just a few weeks ago, which is their first browser that they are making standards-compliant. It’s about time. More… →

iPhone vs HTC Evo (funny)

by

If you like humor and mobile phones then you’re in for a treat. I found these videos on YouTube and they made my day while taking a break from work. If you don’t like filthy language these are not censored so you are warned! An HTC fanatic went to the crazy popular site Xtranormal and made a video knocking the iPhone 4 and all of their fanboys and girls. The rebuttal video may be even funnier because it simply holds more truth and really has a lot of laughs.

Here is the original iPhone 4 vs HTC Evo video.

The iPad

by

Today Apple’s new invention was revealed to the world and it is another product that will help shape the way we go about our daily lives. For what has been called the Tablet for quite some time now has been officially revealed as the iPad. Sort of a odd name for such a revolutionary product but as long as it works we will all forget about the name before long. I personally watched a few live blogs today while the conference was happening eager to hear about what was going to be revealed. After learning about the iPad’s many features I have composed a high level analysis below of why this product is so important for today’s technology even if most of us won’t buy it right away. More… →
