I hate Windows 8. Can’t stand it. Wish I never bought it. It’s the single biggest pain in the neck thing I’ve ever purchased. In fact, if I could ever undo only one purchase in my life, it would be that one. But then again, I don’t use the touch-screen mode because I’m on a Lenovo laptop. I’m just trying to use the desktop version as best I can, and as Microsoft will be the first to tell you, Windows … Continue reading →

Microsoft and Sony announced new version of the PlayStation and Xbox gaming systems for release later this year. The gamer world is abuzz with anticipation, and they can’t wait to get their hands on the new line. Nintendo, however, has been ominously silent. We’re not sure if there is a new version of the Wii coming soon or not, but one thing is for sure – the Wii that’s out now will be a TON cheaper than the new systems. … Continue reading →

What do you do? You know you’re going to be in situations where you won’t be able to hear your tablet audio without headphones. So you’re going to get the best headphones money can buy, right? Of course. But then you also know that there are going to be situations when you’re chatting or doing whatever, and something INSANE happens that NO ONE will believe without proof. Your tablet camera will be unavailable… but you can’t get that new Nikon … Continue reading →

Being a working class hero isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. You look around the world, and you see all these easy ways out – obviously below the bar, but still – and it makes you wonder why you went the way you did. You need bling, and you have none. This won’t do. You tend to your responsibilities, you take care of the things you’re supposed to, you do what they tell you, and you put your kids … Continue reading →

You have had your iPhone for a while, now. Something like… what… 20 months? Remember when you first bought it? You were so happy – and you swore to yourself that you’d get a new set of headphones to take advantage of the iTunes cloud. As soon as you were able to get back to the Apple Store for that one pair you had your eyes on, you’d be in business. Never mind the fact that you were going to … Continue reading →

You’re in a house full of people, and of course you’re not always behaving yourself on the computer. OK, well I won’t go there… let’s just say you have a message from your girlfriend and you don’t want all your roommates to hear it. So you have two choices: 1 – you can turn the volume down really low and press your ear to the laptop, or 2 – you can go hide in the bathroom. Actually, there are three … Continue reading →

You have no Internet. You have all these pieces, but you don’t have the cords. No USBs to hook up the tower to the keyboard, no printer cable to attach to the tower, no cable for the monitor, and nothing for the mouse. Everything is all laying around, unhooked. Useless. So you go to the store and buy all these things. Two USB cables for the keyboard and mouse, a printer cable, monitor cable, power cables for all of them, … Continue reading →

Ever wonder about how people get these great shots of their kids? Every time you set up a photog for the little ones, the prints always come back looking most unnatural. Remember the school pictures from the 80s? Remember how we all thought there was a conspiracy to make the kids all look as stupid as possible? Well, as you’re finding out now, this conspiracy is not limited to school pictures. It’s the CANDID shots that look the best, though. … Continue reading →

You know that one note in Comfortably Numb? The high one… near the end? The one where you can almost see Gilmour throw his head back when you hear it? Well, that’s IT. That’s the part you sit in the car and wait for even though you parked during the first verse. There’s one in most every song you love. The piano solo in Tuesday’s gone, the drum roll in Paradise City, the bass drop in Mama Kin… you get … Continue reading →

Small things. Small things are no good. The best things come in small packages? Yeah… try telling that to the poor sack standing out on his deck trying to watch the game and cook his burger at the same time. A 15 inch black and white isn’t going to cut it. If you really want to enjoy… no… if you really just want to SEE the TV, you’re gonna need 40 or 50 inches minimum. (Just trust me, ladies. Man … Continue reading →
