Couldn’t resist picking on this one.  To say that we should all bow before the ideology layed down by the FSF and that “well, if the FSF doesn’t say it ain’t so, then it ain’t” is a bit far fetched.  Just because the FSF doesn’t say “gmail is a problem, you should all not use […]

USAToday has a meandering piece on recycling for your perusal.
While it does encapsulate some “feel good moments” it’s as light on facts as any other “journalism” I’ve been reading lately.
Honestly, you’d think these articles were produced by a crack team of highschool students that aren’t allowed out beyond the walls of their schools.  It’s like […]

Just picked up on this repost over at OSDir.
Check out the wording on that one, then read the title: “United States Cedes Control of the Internet”.
So, they’re reaching for a title with some “shlocking awe” qualities from an article that doesn’t say what the title implies.
The actual body of those statements are so vague and […]

While the USA .gov is waffeling over domain control and making more concilatory noises they’re still planning on maintaining control of the system with an iron fist.
All this while claiming that they’ve got our best interests in mind.  As long as our best interests are paying more for domain names.
Now.  I don’t care who carries […]

Today I take a look at how to install a low-cost wall mount LCD swing arm and exactly what it’ll free up re: desk space.
Good stuff.
PCBurn - Review: Brateck LCD Wall Mount Adjustable Swing Arm

Bright bulb T.J. Rodgers of Cypress Semiconductor is quoted as saying he thinks people that payed for allll those wires and cables that make up the internet should be able to charge whatever they want for their product.
Personally, I think I’ve payed quite enough for those wires and cables.  Both directly and by funding the […]

It seems that technology firms are wiseing up to criminals using the new technology of… telephones.  The rest of us have heard of these “phones” before, as they’re commonly called, but apparently these are new-tech to firms like Anti-virus firm Sophos.
Although the article plays up that these are “new” “mad sploits” (okay, that last one’s […]

I know some other commentators, in their official capacities, have played up Suse’s 10.1 OpenLinux release as if it were the greatest thing since pre-sliced bread. I’ve been playing around on it a bit, either in preperation for a PCBurn article or just as a server replacemenent for the old Dell quad Xeon box.
So […]

Maybe not air.  What I mean to say is that it’s full of hot gas.  See the quote referrenced below the link.  Instead of truly degrading the energy use in the house they simply offload it onto a natural gas line instead of the grid or local power generation and presto, you don’t need as […]

It’s official.  A few short years after it’s inception, Sony is killing the UMD format they were distributing movies to PSP owners in.  Sales apparently slacked after users realized they can upload their own purchased movies via the USB cable instead of repurchasing them.
Sony is supposedly moving over to a “Memory Stick” format… but don’t […]
