I had never really thought of it before, but I am addicted to updating software.

This is not something that has [...]

Today is a big day for the Blackberry Tour 9630. The user guide is now up and running on Blackberry’s website. This phone must be close. It’s looking like the July 16th date is getting more creditable by the hour. The guide is nice and should tell you just about anything you need to know. [...]

I am finished with Twitter. What is the point? I tried it. There are certainly some reasons to use it and for those purposes, it is great. But now people are just sending worthless, pointless Tweets about what they are doing at the moment. Who cares? There is no point. This is a complete waste [...]

With the release of Windows 7 RC, everyone can finally see what the new OS is going to feel like. I recently installed the new OS to try out and so far I am very impressed. I decided to split the review into several pieces, this way I can add more information into later parts. [...]

I recently wrote about how I have switched from Outlook to Gmail. I am still using Gmail, but have started second thinking my decision since reading about how many people have had their accounts locked by Google for no apparent reason. Many Gmail users have been met with a screen while trying to log into [...]

For the last few days I have been using Firefox 3.5 beta 4. So far in these last few days the only real difference I have noticed is that it has not crashed on me. Firefox 3.0 would crash after a few days of being open. After researching, I have found that others have the [...]

With the Nintendo DS nearing retirement, it seems only fitting that we should have a look back at the great moments the game system has enjoyed.

Most email programs have a preview pane. To me this is the most important feature I would like to have that Gmail does not currently offer. Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora, Outlook Express and even Yahoo Mail, they all have it. They have this feature for a reason, because it’s useful. I’m hoping Gmail will implement this [...]

Can’t say we really expected to see anything from Western Digital here at CeBIT, but sure enough, it brought along its 2TB Caviar Green hard drive, WD TV HD media player and the new 8TB ShareSpace NAS. Along with oodles of other external, internal and somewhere-in-between drives, too. We actually kind of spazzed upon seeing [...]
