Should Your Next Computer Be a Mac?

Most computers tend to last only 2-3 years. It’s an annoying fact, but that doesn’t make it any less true. My previous computer was a Compaq Presario, which lasted about three years. My current machine, a Gateway 835GM, has been kicking since a few days after the release of the sixth Harry Potter book (July 16th 2005 for the uninformed). How much longer will it last? No idea. At random times (read: the worst possible moment) everything locks-up, and then goes blank. It’s been happening for a few months now, and my attempts to pin-down the problem have been unsuccessful. Who knows how much time is left until it quits.

iPod Predictions

It’s pretty much definite that Apple’s going to update their iPod lineup sometime from September to November. What are they going to do? Here are my predictions:

They will start using OS X to power the iPods.
The iPod Shuffle will stay as-is, though the price may drop.
The 30GB and 80GB iPods will have MultiTouch screens on [...]

Computers Are Not Appliances!

The average consumer thinks of a computer as yet another appliance. To non-geeks it is another device similar to a TV or a CD Player. It’s used for gaming, email, and basic internet usage.
The computer is not an appliance though. It’s a medium. Computers are just another way of storing an manipulating data. You read [...]

How fast is your internet connection?

Did you know the top 5 countries with the fastest broadband are Japan, Sweden, Latvia, Romania, and Bulgaria? How fast is your broadband? Your ISP may tell you that you’ve got “1.5mb/sec”, but that’s a theoretic maximum. It’s unlikely your speed is that fast. Also, that theoretic “1.5 megabits per second” is just the [...]

Why Should You Switch to Firefox?

Mozilla Firefox is a much better web browser than Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer (IE) may have come pre-loaded on your computer, but you’re in no way required to use the mediocre software.
Firefox is not only faster and more powerful, but it’s more secure as well. In the year of 2006, there were (supposing everyone [...]

Thought-Controlled Computers? I Think Not…

Will we all use thought-controlled computers in the future? I think not…
Thought-based input would be cool, but there’s no way it would work. Sure, you have some early attempts, like the Project Epoc game helmet, but there’s no way you could write an email/blog post/book/etc with your mind. If the text you’re putting onscreen comes [...]

LOLCats

What the heck is an “LOLCat”? Sometimes called “Cat Macros,” LOLCats are pictures of cats with captions, generally in that annoying chatspeek. There’s even a blog consisting only of LOLCats….and it’s the top blog on Wordpress.com. Yeah, kind of dorky.
Most LOLCats are really stupid, though they instantly become funny if they’re related to computers. [...]

iStuff: iPhones, iPods, What’s Next?

The iPhone…what exactly is it? Is it a phone? Is it a portable web device? Is it an iPod? It’s all of those, and then some.

Apple has given us a device that shows us a glimpse of the future. What lies ahead? Only Apple knows, but I can hazard a few guesses.
