About Ashraf
Happily married to the most beautiful woman ever, Ashraf is the founder of dotTech. Ashraf spends insane hours on dotTech (usually writing articles but sometimes doing absolutely nothing except staring). Yes he is weird, but he is also very friendly.
In the past we have shared interesting things like optical illusions that trick our minds into seeing what isn’t there. Ready to have your brain confounded yet again? To confuse the heck out of your senses? To blow your mind...
From what I have read, most psychologists and other behavior experts agree that sales induce otherwise nonexistent demand. Generally speaking, when people see a product on sale or at a discounted rate, they are more likely to buy ...
Volcano eruptions are not very fun for the people who live nearby — having to evacuate, property damage (destruction), death in some cases, etc. However, volcano eruptions from space look, to put it simply, awesome. The foll...
How many dotTechies suffer from road rage? I admit, I have a mild form of the disease and, although I have learned to subdue it, cuss words are often heard coming out of my mouth while driving. It is safe to say the following bus ...
What is Google known for? Google Search, of course. How does Google make most of its money? Selling ads, of course. Between these two factors, Google has a huge stigma of, well, selling ads. So it is natural that people suspect Go...

Earlier we had shared an image of a homeless man that held up a sign proclaiming: “My ex-wife had a better lawyer”. Originally I thought he was simply joking. However, now I know he was serious. Indeed, in his previous...
I am sure anyone that follows global politics in the least has heard of the ridiculous things they do in North Korea when the government decides it is time to celebrate (despite much of the country being in poverty). However, it l...
Love big cats? Don’t love big cats? Who cares, today we have a special treat to share. I am pretty sure we are all well aware of cheetahs, a type of wild cat. However, do you know there is a particular type of cheetah, calle...
I may be wrong but I am guessing most dotTechies are above the age of eighteen and, as such, drive cars. Let’s have it: raise your hand if you are terrible at parking? I know I am, although I would like to think I am improvi...
Windows is the most widely used operating system in the world, and it has plenty (plenty) of issues. Some people argue these issues are because it is impossible for Microsoft to code for and accommodate all the different hardware ...
I am sure most of us have probably received spam text messages before. While it would be nice to respond to those messages to troll them, they are usually sent by non-responsive machines. If, however, you are ever sent a random te...
Harlem shake is a dance from the 1980s from Harlem — with origins in Africa — that has recently gone viral on the web due to the countless parodies. When most people hear about something they don’t know about but...
I am not sure how if the same holds true outside the United States or not, but here in the USA most Starbucks stores have free WiFi for the public to use. The idea is people can sit at Starbucks and use the WiFi on their laptops o...
