Disturbing search poll.

by admin on Dec 21st in News

On Friday Norton released it’s Kids’ Top 100 Searches of 2009. Predictably, Facebook and YouTube were among the top 3. What I found a little unsettling, was that the #4 and #5 most searched for terms were “sex” and “porn”.
Now, I know that teens will be curious about those subjects and that’s normal.  If you [...]

by admin on Aug 11th in Software

Well, I’ve been messing with Windows 7 Beta (build 7100) for the past month or two, and I have to say, I’m actually impressed. I know this is not what was released to the OEM’s last week, and is still only the Beta version. I expect that the release will have much more compatibility for [...]

Some of us spend our spare time watching tv, reading, surfing the internet. Some others, like myself, spend a lot of our spare time playing video games. I personally only play games on the computer. I don’t have any consoles (XBox, Playstation, etc…). Heck, I don’t even own a TV. Wether you want to want [...]

Google taking a stab at Microsoft and vice versa?

by admin on Aug 9th in News

Partnered with some of the industry’s heavyweights such as Acer, Adobe, ASUS, Freescale, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, and Toshiba.
