SugarSync … Oh baby!

Posted by Jim as Software, Windows

The best sync program for Windows Users. I’ve stumbled upon this blog post from CNet blogs, talks about a sync program called “SugarSync”. Catchy name right? Well after reading the blog, I feel that it is rightfully named. For windows users who haven’t really had this easy tool, It does taste like sugar… stress free sugar… zero (!) as Coke and Pepsi would call them. Standard sync programs require both PCs to be turned on. SugarSync has something like a “clearing house” that accepts data from the online PC. Once the other PC goes online (even while the host is off-line), it gets the data from the “clearing house” and syncs it from there. Too cool ...

Online Work Makes One Platform Agnostic

Posted by J. Angelo as Computers, Editorial, Linux, Mac, Windows

As I write this, I'm running Windows on my laptop, here at the dinner table. It's been almost a year since I worked on Windows, meaning actually running it for a few hours and doing real work with it. With my computers usually running some flavor of Linux or Mac OS X, Windows has mostly only been run only in those rare instances I need to run Windows-specific software. My most recent acquisitions, being an Asus Eee (running on Linux) and a Mac desktop, have brought me farther away from Windows, I was almost tempted to wipe it out from my laptop. And yet here I am. I've booted up good ol' Windows XP because my wife wanted to ...

The Gimp: My Image Editor of Choice

Posted by DummyGeekGurl as Linux, Mac, Software, Windows

I had been doing a lot of twitter account setups because I wanted to have twitter accounts dedicated to the many blogs I’ve put up for AdSense monetization. So since when I was setting up my DummyGeekGurl twitter account, I had reached saturation point for tweaking the design, plus, I wanted the wallpaper background kick-butt in a big way, I decided to put off tweaking the design. That, and I was pretty sick over the past few days, only to find out that I may really have diabetes (type 2) now. But last night, I felt okay enough to make this kick-butt (in my own not-so-humble opinion) wallpaper for my DummyGeekGurl Twitter.

I’m Back, With Windows XP SP3 News!

Posted by DummyGeekGurl as Software, Windows

Hello guys, gals, and geeks. :D I had to take a vacation, or else I would really be loopy beyond repair by now. I’ve been noticing something buzzing in the air lately, and it’s not the Christmas anticipation. It’s something related to all things geeky. What’s that? Windows XP SP3? Yes, you heard right. Windows Vista was such a flop that Microsoft decided to develop the pet OS instead: Windows XP.

2007 and Beyond: An Exciting Era for the OS Wars

Posted by DummyGeekGurl as Linux, Mac, Software, Windows

This is an exciting year for the OS wars. With Gutsy Gibbon just released last 18th of October, the Mac OS X Leopard being released today, and the dust over over Windows Vista not having settled yet, I think things are looking up for the OS horizon. We are back in the glory of the 80s, folks, when OS competition was healthy, with the freedom of choice at an all-time high, and enthusiasm for computers and software on an unparalleled level. It’s just that today, this enthusiasm is magnified, to levels that “exponential” doesn’t even cover.

Play WoW using your Xbox 360 Controller

Posted by Jaren as Computers, Cool Stuff, Games, Online Gaming, PC, Software, Windows

I've been using my Xbox 360 Controller to play every game installed on my Vista Laptop, starting from Doom3, Civ3, Oblivion, Half-life 2, Halo, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Battle for Middle Earth 2, Etc.. Even Using it on a few MMO's like Freestyle Online, and World of Warcraft. And the experience is great, better than the feeling of messing up my laptop keyboard, because of frustrated keypresses that leads to smashing your keyboard. Plus the neck strain because you have to be close to the monitor and keyboard at the same time. Now for Other games I used the Pinnacle Game Profiler Software,which is free to download but costs you if you want to upgrade it. For the game, World Of Warcraft ...

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.
