Ιστορία των σελιδοδεικτών

Εδώ και κάτι εβδομάδες είχα ένα άρθρο από το e-scriptorum περί της ιστορίας των σελιδοδεικτών Δεν ήξερα πως οι σελιδοδείκτες ήταν όσο παλιοί όσο και οι πάπυροι της Αιγύπτου!Οι πρώτοι σελιδοδείκτες χρησιμοποιήθηκαν πριν την ανακάλυψη

Στον κόσμο του iPhone

Όντως λίγο περίεργο, αλλά τελικά είπα και εγώ να αγοράσω ένα νέο κινητό για να αντικαταστήσει το χαλασμένο μου Νόκια. Το κινητό είναι λοιπόν το νέο iPhone 3GS (ή IIIgs λολ)Οι πρώτες εντυπώσεις είναι αρκετά θετικές, αν και η μπαταρία

Byline - not as bad as the reviews say!

...As a matter of fact it's quite good!OK, so what the heck am I talking about? Byline what?

Screenshots for all!

One of the things that I love about my iPod Touch is that with a little two button press I can snap a screenshot of whatever I am doing at that moment. This of course has many useful application like creating instructs on setting up an application, a game, specifying settings for connecting to that proxy and so on. This functionality is something that is really missing in the PSP.Now you're going

Adieu, Geocities - Part Deux

I just got an email from Yahoo the other day about the closing of Geocities in October.They were supposed to shut down the service earlier this month, however the decided to give the old service a reprieve. The notice states that:On October 26, 2009, your GeoCities site will no longer appear on the Web, and you will no longer be able to access your GeoCities account and files. OK fair enough. I guess

The series was only three episodes long however it was really powerful, and definitely worth a watch.The series follows three British soldiers from the start of the Iraq invasion in 2003 until 2007.

That is an ugly phone!

I saw the announcement for the Surge on the Nokia press release website and I was looking around for a photo of the Surge. I found it weird because Nokia usually labels their phone as an E Series, N Series or some other numerical series device. I was expecting something like the Nokia 6555 instead of the "Nokia Surge".In any case, my eye caught an article on All About Symbian about the topic and I

Don't Copy that Floppy, Part Deux

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
