Captain Kirk’s Guide to Women

Posted by Jaren as Cool Stuff, Gadzooki News, News

Captain Kirk’s Guide to Women (Star Trek) (Paperback) The Legendary Men Of Romance -- Casanova, Don Juan, James Bond, move over because only one man can teach us how get every woman we want, even if it's anywhere on the planet or the whole freaking universe. "one man can boast that his seductive powers take him boldly where no man has gone before: James T. Kirk." Captain Kirk’s status as an interstellar stud is proven by his ability to seduce any woman, in any situation, in any part of the galaxy. From high-society princesses to unbalanced Orion slave girls, from gender-switching shape-shifters to emotion-deprived androids — they all swoon, acquiesce, ...

The Top 10 Worst In-game Quotes

Posted by David as Gadzooki News

I know this is not Xbox 360 related, but it really shows off the culture of gaming and how many badly translated games there used to be. I wonder if in this generation of gaming you'd see more than one or two games with such glaring errors. Here is the list from IGN: 1. "All your base are belong to us." - Zero Wing 2. "I am Error." - Zelda II: The Adventures of Link 3. "Jill, why don't you, the master of unlocking, take this lock pick." - Resident Evil 4. "You were doomed as soon as you lost the ability to love." - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night 5. "Yo gangsta! Get ready to gang bang!" - Bust-a-Groove 6. "I feel asleep." - ...

Make an iPod dock for your Xbox 360

Posted by David as Gadzooki News

Engadget comes back with their second part to making an iPod dock where the Xbox 360 hard drive used to go. There are many ways this project could be modified. We took an approach that would let us return the box almost to stock condition if needed, but a more permanent mod could be soldering the hard drive connection on the inside of the case instead of using the external connector. With the outside connector gone you could route the dock's USB cable inside the case. We still need to cut down our three foot dock cable since it only has to be three inches long to reach the port on the back of the box. Read the article.

Desktops are In (again)

Posted by Jaren as Gadzooki News, Portable Media, Random Thoughts

Pranksters Invade Starbucks With Desktop Computers Oh man, I love this article on Engadget. Got me snickering as pranksters bring their desktop computers to Starbucks to mooch WiFi. We all know that we usually get the limelight if we bring out our laptops, but this is so funny and plus its great publicity for Starbucks. And the funny thing about is they're using Windows 95, yeah hello nostalgia. Desktops are In (again)

pic courtesy of Engadget We've already seen the confusion and hilarity some so-called "portable" computers can cause when taken out into public, but those shenanigans are nothing compared to the scene stirred up when the folks from Improv Everywhere lugged some ancient desktop computers ...

While waiting for SP1 or the Tuesday Patch on October 9, though I'm waiting for the SP1 for quite some time, I'm starting to think if it would do me any good to wait for it.

Safari Browser for Windows Released: Major Bugs and Other First Impressions

Posted by Sophia as Apple, Gadzooki News, Mac, Software, The Web, Windows

Amidst all the cries of ecstasy over Mac OS X Leopard at the WWDC07, we have a little surpsrise: Safari is released for Windows. It's a public beta, to be exact. Safari on Windows: WWDC07 Unveiling

That's great news, coming not from someone who wants Apple to take over the world, but as a web designer who wants to test web pages in all kinds of browsers. I haven't been able to do that on Safari since it's always been released on the Mac exclusively. It's also a great idea to discover a new browser every once in a while. Find out which one has features that best suit your taste. After all, Steve Jobs claims it's twice as fast as Internet Explorer and 1.6 times as fast as Firefox. Problem is, right after downloading and installing Safari for Windows I ran into two major problems right away.

A Walk Through Netscape Navigator 9

Posted by Sophia as Gadzooki News, Software, Software Features, The Web

Before Netscape.com turned into a social voting website (read: Digg clone), before Firefox graduated from the Mozilla Application Suite and became the darling of net geeks and casual surfers alike, before Internet Explorer emerged victorious from the First Browser War using the classic Microsoft tactic, and before people understood the value of a web browser, there was Netscape. It was actually called the Mosaic Netscape browser then, since the company started out as the Mosaic Communications Corporation. Netscape---both the company and the browser---has gone through ups and downs but today it stands tall, having released version 9 of the classic browser this June 5th. Here are some highlights of the latest version of Netscape Navigator:

Bill Gates and Steve Jobs at the D5 Conference

Posted by Sophia as Apple, Computers, Event Coverage, Gadzooki News, Microsoft, Tech News

There were many interesting things to discover and enjoy at this year's D conference, D5. One such example was Microsoft Surface. But surely the biggest highlight of the event was the interview with Bill Gates and Steve Jobs for the first time in twenty years. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates at D5

Paying Tribute Before turning into the two icons representing the two biggest rivals in the computer industry, Bill and Steve were first and foremost pioneers and visionaries whose work catapulted them and their companies into great success. D5's interview quickly reminds us to cease the hostilities if at least for one night, and simply be in awe ...

Skimming the “Surface”

Posted by Jeff as Computer Peripherals, Furniture, Gadzooki News, Hardware

Star Trek fans rejoice. "Surface" has been unleashed, Microsoft's fancy nombré for the years-old-kept-secret project-turned-platform-turned-hardware cheekily manufactured in the traditional Apple closed-system delivery of hardware+software to achieve the most oomph effect. The idea is you have a touch-sensitive display spanning the breadth of a small meeting room table. Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer demo-ed at D: All Things Digital Conference. A phone was put on the surface (pun not intended), and you get an image of the phone and item details onscreen. It's as if Surface scanned the item and recognized it.

And recognize it did. I get all psyched ...
