I saw this video on Techdirt recently and I had a good laugh.I was not in the US when "don't copy that floppy" was around as an ad, but I do remember similar efforts in European (specifically Greek) computer magazines of the time. If I can find a magazine from that time period I will try to make a scanned copy of the ad (no pun intended).As Techdirt says:The "chorus" of the song claims that copying

Well here's a random, I just realized that in the many years that I've had my PowerBook I have never once used the PC-card slot.Well,... OK, I used it once! I plugged in a network adapter to see how it worked! At that point I had my PowerBook for four years and I was curious about the slot.So how did this random thought come about? I was thinking about the demise of the Express Card slot on the MacBook

One day as I was logging out of my Google Reader, I saw this popular item starting me in the face on download squad. I don;t subscribe to the download squad since that would be overload for me - I'd have to declare RSS bankruptcy on a daily basis :-)Anyway, I had a good chuckle at this article because I have seen the effects of this time and time again. You download an installer for some application

...well it never left, but anyway ;-)I came across this promotional Wolfenstein web motion comic - whose animated style reminds me of SIn City - a week or so ago. As someone who played the original Wolfenstein on a 386 running Windows 3.1, I found the comic adaptation of the game pretty interesting. Now I never played Escape from Castle Wolfenstein (or any subsequent games) because I was either on

Την τελευταία εβδομάδα με έχε βάλει σε σκέψη όλο αυτό το θέμα laptop, αφού έχει χαλάσει το PowerBook μου. Από την μια ως geek θέλω έναν καινούργιο MacBook Pro, πως να το κάνουμε;Από την άλλη όμως είναι το θέμα οικονομίας, και το θέμα bang-for-the-buck

If there is one thing that I've learned in my 1, 2, 3,....., 12 years on the internet is that stuff doesn't stay on here for very long. Images, PDFs, heck even HTML content won't be staying where it is for long. Sure it may be there for the next 5 years or so, but after that? Perhaps it won't be there. There are many sites I liked, some associated with televisions hows that have since been cancelled

To be honest, I really wasn't impressed by the first Xperia device. Blame it later to market with the hardware, or blame it on running Windows Mobile (or both!) - it just didn't appeal to me.Looking at this demo of the Xperia UI running android - well that's pretty cool! Would I buy one? Probably not because it doesn't sync with iSync (yet) and Google haven't done such a great job with providing

There are times like these when I see commercials like the one bellow that make me have serious doubts for the future of humanity. I am also reminded of the movie Idiocracy.

Εκεί που καθόμουν λοιπόν και διάβαζα το πρόγραμμα της τηλεόρασης μια μέρα, είδα πως ακόμα υπάρχουν οι Simpsons. Παλιότερα τους έβλεπα στην Ελλάδα και όταν ήρθα στην Αμερική πριν 15 χρόνια (ουάου!) συνέχισα να τους βλέπω.Τα τελευταία

I know that this has probably been talked about and blogged about ad nauseum, however it just struck me once again today that the iPhone/iPT OS really needs to better utilize that unlock screen! At the moment I am seeing something similar to the image on the right hand side of this post.At the very least, there should be an upcoming appointments listing on the screen. Too much information can inundate
