My Totally Cool Thanksgiving Gift
My family exchanges gifts for Thanksgiving Day. Guess what I got for Thanksgiving?
THIS!!!!
Isn’t it terrific?!
It is the Apple Aluminum Keyboard. It’s BEAUTIFUL. It doesn’t “match” my black PC, but I really dont care. This is the coolest and easiest to use keyboard I have ever had. I just love it!
I have a PC, Windows Vista, [...]
Computer Hard Drive Space: No Truth in Advertising
I recently purchased an Acer Aspire Desktop with AMD Phenom™ X3 Triple-Core Processor 8400 (Model: AX3200-U3600A). I’m finding it a terrific computer, except for a few important things.
For one, the Acer is advertised as having 320GB hard drive space. I bought the machine mostly for that reason- because I use my computer for my business, [...]
Acer’s Budget Aspire with Triple Core Processor
I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled for a replacement desktop for a while now. I was meandering the computer stores shelves when I came across an Acer Aspire desktop. It was a small little thing (think two loaves of bread stacked on top of each other; it’s about 11″ x 4″). What got my attention [...]
My Take on LCD Monitors
I am very, VERY fussy about my computer monitors. For one, I spend all day in fron the of computer. Two, I have sensitive eyesight, and dim or unclear monitors cause strain and pain. I had an HP Pavilion laptop (well, I still have it) with a failing monitor and I would go to bed [...]
Comodo for the Trusted Internet
I adore Comodo Firewall. I have it installed on all five computers here and it is the best firewall I have ever used. And believe me, I’ve used them all. I highly recommend Comodo for its reliability, usability, and most importantly, its security. Comodo is proving once again it’s an excellent company with innovative ideas; [...]
Easy Computer Backups?
Easy computer backups? IS there such a thing? I do say, computer manufacturers have not made it easy to backup your computer files. It is a loathsome and time-consuming task for me. As hard drives get bigger and bigger, it only gets harder and harder.
That’s why I decided to check out something called the “ClickFree” [...]
Laptop WebCams - Not a Good Idea
As much as I like technology, I never liked the idea of automatically-inserted webcams in laptops. Kind of like DVD players in vehicles– it sounds really neat and is probably very convenient, but it creates a whole new bag of problems what go with it. Like this one:
Peeping Geek Arrested for Using Laptop Webcams [...]
An Amazing Video
I saw in some news circles that they are calling NASA’s new video, “An Alien’s Eye View,” which is so juvenile. Might as well say it’s a flying pig’s eye view. Sheesh! Well, anyway, the video is neat. It’s a video of the lunar cycle as view by a camera– NASA’s Deep Impact– 31 million [...]
Google Maps Gone Wrong!
Ackk!!! We all wondered if this was inevitable! They’re watching us through our windows, through our computers, through our CAT5e Internet connections!!! LOL! I’m kidding, of course. Well, I hope I’m kidding. I found this online– watch this terrific video– well done and very humorous take on the Google gods. Let’s just hope this never [...]
The Computer of the Future?
I think I have seen it all! Well.. come to think of it, maybe I haven’t. But this is something pretty close! Ever heard of it? It’s the “B Membrane” computer.
It looks really funky, like something in one of those retro vegas hotels! I have to wonder if something like this will really catch on. [...]
A Good Online Electronic Store
Need some electronic gadgets? I have this thing about computer mouses (or mice, or whatever you call them). I go through them at phenomenal rates. I need a new one every six months or so! Crazy! I work at my computer, so that’s why.
In my opinion, Buy.com is THE primo place to go for the [...]
Notebook/Laptop Reviews
My aging little HP laptop is starting to show its age. Recently the fan rumbled and made a clinking sound. The fan runs noisily with a tinny sound that can be heard across the room. My hard drive squeaks from time to time, although this has been going on for some time now. And the [...]
