Posted by Atasha as Blogroll, Bluetooth, Cheat Codes, Computer Peripherals, Gadzooki News, Games, Portable Media Players, Robotics

Some call them mobile phones others cellular phones or cell phones for short(geez.. four letters???!!!??), whatever you'd want to call them they're the best solution to our never ending need for communicating along with the lust for gizmos and gadgets. Analog phones started as mere telephones without wires that worked on closed networks with batteries as large as a suitcase. When it went digital, the magic began when Nokia unknowingly included a free service programmed within their phones called SMS or texting to some. People, the ever curious creatures we are, discovered this and went on texting sprees that topped calls these technological wonders were supposed to do....

iMac upgrades… speedbump & a larger hard drive?

Posted by Jim as Apple, Computers, Gadzooki News

GeekSugar mentions on their website that there is a large possibility that the iMac will get a processor speed bump PLUS an increase in hard drive space across all iMac models. This is extremely good news! The iMacs has been very popular these past few months with all its current specifications. Feature boosting it further will surely give the 1-2-3 K.O. punch, making the A+ grade like the previous feature boosts of the Macbooks. While it doesn't sound to be a huge overhaul (the upgrade to Penryn processors like the Macbook & Macbook Pro), it still is a welcome surprise to those who'd be getting their Moms a surprise for the coming Mother's Day. Yeah, I ...

No Gadgets Perfect Yet

Posted by Jim as Automotive Features, Gadzooki News

The bus driver relied on his GPS gadget. Sad story, but apparently we've had too many trusting drivers. Check out these articles from www.engadget.com ---> Apparently, in the UK, the government has noted 2,000 incidents of bridge damages due to Sat Navigation GPS gadgets resulting to over 5,000 hours of delays. Thankfully, it's not from the satellites falling from the sky, but rather from over drivers relying a little too heavily on GPS units (in particular those driving trucks too large for the bridges. (article here).

UK has taken this seriously that in some areas they have begun posting road signs to IGNORE what your Sat Nav gadgets tell you and ...

Breaking News: Apple’s Newest Ultraportable is Out!

Posted by DummyGeekGurl as Featured Articles, Gadgets, Gadzooki News, Hardware and Gadget Features

I don’t know what’s worse, a broken heart due to a misplaced relationship, or a broken heart because the new MacBook Air is out and DummyGeekGurl can’t get one... Yet. Either case, my heart is making somersaults, because both events happened within 10 minutes of each other. But relationship woes aside, I’d like to welcome me back. :p I was gone for a while there because my church was having its annual corporate fast. Now I’m back, and I have news. Just when I finished writing down my ex’s latest series of messages in my "transition diary," I got a yahoo messenger message that the MacBook Air is out. Yes, kiddies, the rumors are true. Apple has a new ultraportable, and her name is MacBook Air.

Remembering MacGyver the Uber-Geek

Posted by Jaren as Cool Stuff, Gadzooki News, Random Thoughts, TV, Television

Ahh Yes...MacGyver the uber geek...the idol of engineers, the basis of geeks, cool but techie, resourceful in a very, Renaissance man -like manner and fashion, he uses his knowledge of science, technology and outdoorsmanship to resolve what are often life or death crises. With nothing but a Swiss Army Knife and a roll of duct tape commonly known, to some degree, as "MacGyver-tape". Since the MacGyver is the basis of everything tech-related I had to post it here too. MacGyver according to Wikipedia Angus MacGyver is a highly intelligent, optimistic action hero who prefers non-violent conflict resolution wherever possible. He refuses to carry or use a gun due to a childhood accident with a ...

Windows Home Server: networked computing comes to the home

Posted by Jeff as Gadzooki News, Hardware and Gadget Features, Software, Windows

While not exactly kept under the tightest of wraps as WinFS was until it was unveiled, to everyone's surprise, on a previous Microsoft PDC (only to be axed from Windows Vista later on), the project known under the name "" has gone "gold", which means it is of production-level quality by software terms. The gold code has been released to OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), and we can expect retail "boxed" editions and actual server boxes to hit the shelves in the next two to three months. So what is Windows Home Server, and is there really a need for a "server" for the home? Now that digital media has reached ubiquitous levels, and storage - be it in the form of ...

iTunes 7.2 out now: Music is Free!

Posted by Jeff as Apple, Gadzooki News, Music, Software Features

Image by Engadget. http://engadget.com

Well, sort of; it's not free in the Limewire or Bearshare sense. Today is the big day Apple ups the anté: iTunes 7.2 is released and one of the "Big Four" labels, EMI Music, and other independent artists' music breaks free from the shackles of DRM, or Digital Rights Management. (With 1300 artists under its wing, EMI writes history with easily recognizable names (EMI and iTunes) offering DRM-free music for sale online. EMI is home to Norah Jones, Ben Harper, Alicia Keys, Kanye West and Usher, among others.)

In case you've been living under a rock, DRM is the stuff that locks the music you rip from CDs and music that you

Adobe-Microsoft-Sun Battle in the RIA Arena: Which to Choose?

Posted by Sophia as Computers, Gadzooki News, Microsoft, Mobility, Tech Companies, Tech News, The Web

If you've been using your computer for sometime now (what an understatement!), you might have heard at least one of the three big companies, Adobe, Microsoft, and Sun. Your first computer was probably a PC---a DOS- or Windows-based personal computer---so you've probably heard of Microsoft already. As for the other two, I've become aware of them about the same time, during high school: Adobe specializes in graphics software, with Acrobat and Photoshop as its most familiar products. Sun, on the other hand, aside from being a notable hardware company, it is also behind Java, one of the most popular programming languages ever. The RIA Battle A few years ago it would be difficult to see how ...

The Many Forms of GG

Posted by Xai as Featured Articles, Gadzooki News, Gaming, Gaming Features, Online Gaming, PC

In gaming parlance, the acronyms gg stands for "good game," but it can mean so many other things. Gadget geek? Good going? Girl Genius? Whatever the usage, it's a term that's here to stay as one of the staples of a gamer's vocabulary, spawning other words such as gg'ed, ggified, gfg, etc. I'm a "girl gamer" type of gg myself, and since this is an intro post, let me tell you about the many acronyms that occupy my life. I'm a college student who tries to dabble in fields ranging from music to physics to art, but for some strange reason I spend most of my time gaming. I practically live at a certain computer gaming shop: ...
