I suppose that for some, the testing of the Windows Live service must be feeling like the start of a full time job. Not a bad thing really, just means there is still much of the jury out as to a collective consensus on its overall worth to the end user. (Speaking for myself, of […]

This project Higgins sounds fascinating. But the big question is whether or not it will really ever be something that people can accept in everyday life?

Who’d thought. Another AOL idea could potentially hit the proverbial fan. From the looks of it, some organizations are less than thrilled about the idea of a pay-per-send email system.

Alright, it seems that Sony is ‘ready to rumble’ with their not-so-famed Blu-ray format. Coupled with some movies, the biggest debut in my opinion will happen when the PS3 actually bothers to show up on the store shelves. Short of that, I am not too sure that they are going to sell many of the […]

With apologies to Bill Cosby, today’s site touches on a subject that I grew up with. There was a generation of kids who had one of the most marvelous toys ever created. It rivaled trains, and was so much fun even Elvis had one (yes, I mean THAT Elvis). So follow the signs for a […]

There is simply no question about it - data centers are in total demand. Apple’s stretching out their arms and thus, taking in yet another data center. Could this be the sign of things to come or just Apple working through their usual growing pains?

You know, Google Desktop 3 or not, I am simply not sure that this is something that I would like to fool with. Speaking for myself, I feel they need to work hard at regaining my faith in how they are dealing with my data from my desktop. Thus far, I am just not feeling […]

It depends. No one is going to want to view a five minute video podcast on their TV. It’s too short! Now if there were longer podcasts, this concept might possibly float.

Hmm, I suppose it had to happen. Yup, Google Video has added content from the US National Archives. Will anyone actually care? At this point I am not going to hold my breath until this has had a chance to settle for a time.

There comes a time in everyone’s work day, or play day, or vacation day, where you just flat out get bored. There doesn’t seem to be anything to do, no one to do it with, and nowhere to do it. But thanks to today’s site, that boredom will soon be a thing of the past.
I […]

Should Apple be concerned? Could Creative see even more competition? I myself am still unsure as MS works to push their Origami project into the light of the press…

OK, this article is pretty messed up. But we cannot argue that there isn’t a really good lesson here for those who wish to learn from it: WiFi is available to those who would mooch it off ya. And often locking down things is just not enough.

Looks like the Google Beta team is at it again. This time it’s released a Web-based HTML editor. Think Frontpage Express but with a Google flair.

I was kind of hungry tonight when I was searching for a site, so this might be the reason for the subject I selected. Owning your own business is somewhat of an American dream. There are many different types of businesses that can be owned by one or two people. But it is a dog […]

“Crack down, smack down, you’re busted!” OK, perhaps not you personally. But if someone you know is pirating DVDs, might be best to stay clear from them for the next few months to be safe…

Going to far or is Yahoo making the right call? Speaking for myself, I am not someone who even uses Yahoo mail so my opinion is not on the chopping block today on this matter…

Looks like consumers are going to be nailed on the cost of the PS3. Sometimes I feel like Sony wants to see just how far they can push away common sense before consumers tell them to simply stick it in their ear!

After reading this, I cannot help but feel like I need to be using iTunes a lot more often. Seriously, check out the virtual bankroll of cool stuff this guys gets for buying the billionth song from iTunes! It’s insane!

Free registration required to read this fascinating story of a business’ recovery - including IT recovery - from the Katrina disaster. Michael Ybarra of SearchCIO.com writes:
Oreck Corp. thought it had a disaster recovery plan. Then Hurricane Katrina struck. To keep the business alive, a dedicated crew of executives and staff had to surmount huge […]

Today’s site is brought to you courtesy of the History Channel. No, it isn’t sponsoring it nor did it ask us to feature it. But I was contemplating what site to feature tonight, and the TV was on. There was a program on the History Channel called “Declassified,” and it was about the FBI investigations […]
