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 our Amazing Photo of the Day segment, we have seen many cats (may that be lions, tigers, or otherwise). We have not, however, shared very many primate photos. In fact, only one gorilla photo that I can remember and one or two m...
Manu Cornet is an artist that likes to criticize. As we have seen in his previous comics, Cornet loves making fun of tech companies… especially Apple and Microsoft (which is not surprising because Cornet works for Google, a ...
How many dotTechies are ‘Do It Yourself’ type people? If you are, you have probably used a laser level; you know, those gadgets that draw straight lines with a laser pointer on walls, floors, etc. to help you properly ...
Looking for an iPhone killer was more relevant last year than today simply because there are tons of viable iPhone alternatives now than in the past. However, iPhone is still a very popular phone and, for all intends and purposes,...
Here on dotTech, we may be afraid of heights (and by “we” I mean Ashraf) but we aren’t afraid of sharing photos that show the heights we scared of. Indeed, we have seen a flimsy looking path above a deep gorge in...
Partly due to Apple’s legal endeavors, and partly due to patent trolls, the United States patent system has come into question over the past few years. While some people call for reforms, others express their view of the Uni...
Last week, in our Amazing Photo of the Day segment, dotTech shared a photo of lightning striking somewhere. Enjoyed that photo? Then let us take a look at yet another awesome lightning strike picture. The following is an image of ...
I hadn’t really thought of it this way before but, if you think about it, we (and by “we” I mean Western society) do spend a lot of money on food — especially eating out. However, when it comes to software,...
How many dotTechies are old enough to remember the original Godzilla movies? I personally am not but I do remember watching some Godzilla movies (maybe remakes of the original, I don’t remember) when I was younger. In any ca...
Does it seem like ads are becoming increasingly popular? I mean, it seems like more and more companies are moving towards using ads (targeted or otherwise) as a way to raise revenue. The question is — when will they stop? Ho...
A few weeks ago dotTech shared with you all a photo of ‘dinner in the sky’, an event organized by a company that sees people having dinner on a platform held up by a single crane. Some brave dotTechies said they would ...
We have had plenty of Apple bashing here on dotTech. For example, back in October I shared an infographic that laid out the ideas Apple stole/borrowed from other companies or people. However, as much as we may bash Apple, it never...
We have seen plenty of tigers here on dotTech; angry tigers, humble tigers, half tigers, etc. Today we shall see a more vulnerable tiger — a tiger feeling cold in the snow. The following is a photo of a tiger that looks like...
DRM (digital rights management) is an umbrella term used to described methods used by entertainment producers, software producers, etc. to protect their content from being pirated. The problem with DRM content is, well, you cannot...
If memory serves, dotTech’s Amazing Photo of the Day hasn’t featured many images that involve lightning strikes. Yeah, we have seen volcano eruptions that involve lightning, but not specifically a lightning strike phot...
