MADtv Parody: Apple iRack

Posted by Jhay as Apple, Random Thoughts, TV, Tech Companies

The issue of the Iraq war and how things over there have become uglier and uglier for American troops, the current Bush Administration and the over-all image of the United States worldwide have been the subject of much discussions from traditional media, the blogosphere, the punditocracy and the public at large. However, all this talk has been confined to the real of mainstream media and news. The techies and geeks of the 'Web 2.0 world' seemed to have been on the sidelines and have not contributed much to the discussions. Probably because there are still that do not understand the over-all picture. It's not because they're totally apolitical, maybe the subject has been less appealing to the geek and techie world because ...

Change of Heart: Intel joins the $100-laptop per child

Posted by Jhay as Computers, News, Notebooks, Tech News

The web has been a buzz with the sudden change of hearts at Intel as the world's top chip maker has joined the One Laptop per Child Foundation, the organization that makes the now infamous $100 laptops intended to help children worldwide, particularly those in the poor countries, receive education and a better chance to improve their lives. In May this year, Nicholas Negroponte, the founder of OLPC, said the silicon giant "should be ashamed of itself" for efforts to undermine his initiative. He accused Intel of selling its own cut-price laptop - the Classmate PC - below cost to drive him out of markets in the developing world. "What happened in the past has happened," Will Swope of Intel told the ...

Is the International Space Station using Window$?

Posted by Jhay as Computers, Hardware

Okay, the title is just a joke. As of writing this post, I'm uncertain whether the computers in the International Space Station (ISS) are powered by Windows or some other OS but it appears to be so as another computer crash has once more set back the progress on the ISS. bluescreen

Russian space officials said Friday they were considering moving up the launch of a Russian cargo ship as cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station struggled for a second day to reboot failed computers controlling the orbiting outpost's orientation. The problem started with a spike in static electricity while cables were being hooked up to the station's solar panels, said Nikolai Sevastyanov, head of the Russian ...

How to print your own t-shirts

Posted by Jhay as Cool Stuff, Shirts

Everyone likes a t-shirt that stands above the rest. Not just in color, not just the fit, not just the design, not so much of who's wearing them, but it's a combination of all. The attitude of the one who wears it is just icing on the cake but the really important part is the t-shirt itself. There are lots and lots of good t-shirt designs out there, one in particular are the designs by Electrolychee as spotted by Aaron Roselo. Those tees are really a head turner and almost everyone would do almost anything to get their hands on those tees especially with the nearing start of the next school season. Unfortunately the problem stems from there, since everyone wants ...

When your anti-virus software becomes the problem

Posted by Jhay as Computers, Featured Articles, Security, Software, Software Features

Anti-virus softwares have been around for a long time now and after we have installed them in our machine, a Windows-based machine since OS X and Linux are practically immune to computer viruses, we almost forget about them. We are either lazy in scanning every portable storage device we plug in to our machine or a downloaded file from the web, or we are not that familiar on how to use the AV that's installed in our system. Chances are that AV is one of the most popular commercial brands from the big security firms like Symantec, Trend-Micro, McAfee just to name a few. Since it's from one one these brands, it is of course not for free. Not for free means ...

Badware: from floppies to webhosts

Posted by Jhay as Hosting, The Web

Everyone who owns a computer or uses one hates malware, spyware and adware. Industries have been built around these three types of rouge software in an effort to combat them, which is meant from stealing financial information to just creating a nuisance for some. Either way, these kind of software has been scorned by users the world over since the first virus was made famous. However, the evolution of computer technologies has led to many changes. The internet in particular has been one of the most influential technologies to have facilitated rapid changes and progress in the world of computers and how we humans use them today. From this, sprang the terms and technologies themselves called 'Web 2.0', ...
