Ever come to your computer and try to turn it on, but it just won’t do it? You smash the power button as hard as you can but your computer just refuses to turn on. You call tech support, ask all your friends for help, and ev...
Dubai is known in some circle as the Las Vegas of the Middle East. Why? I am not completely sure but probably because of how many tourists visit the city every year. It definitely isn’t because of similar terrain. In any cas...
With so many hacking incidents hitting the headlines recently, and with many of them being blamed (directly or indirectly) on Chinese hackers, it was only a matter of time before someone cooked up a joke about it all, right? Well ...
There was a time when toolbars were considered an innovation in computing and were regarded as helpful tools by many people. Even to this day some people like having specific toolbars in their browser(s). However, by and large too...
In the past I have been (playfully) accused of being overly obsessive with big cats. I denied it and, to prove my innocence, I stopped posting about big cats for a while. You know, like five days. Maybe. Oh screw it. I’m lyi...

You have a head (I hope). I have a head (hang on, let me double check… yep, still there). What if, instead of a head, you had iPads? What would you look like? How would you see? How would people react? Could people start pla...
Anyone that has been to a South American, Africa, or Asian country (or to the shady parts of some towns in European and American cities) knows how prevalent bootleg movies are. Literally for dimes on the dollar you can grab movies...
