Look outside your window. If you live in any place but the most arctic regions of the world, chance are you can see a tree when you look outside the window. What does that tree look like? More specifically, does it have a straight...
Look at the above image. If you think it is of someone playing Call of Duty, you would be wrong. Rather, the above is an image of the targeting system for the Sham II, a homemade tank constructed by rebels in Syria. Yeah, you read...
If you read my opinion piece on the iPad mini, you already know I think it is junk. However, some people disagree with me. According to them, the iPad mini is the holy grail (along with the iPhone and the iPad). These are the same...

Anyone watch the Disney movie ‘Smart House’? I have. I remember a specific scene where the boy bragged about how his new intelligent house would keep the water at the perfect temperature while he showered. The ‘S...
In today’s world, using Linux is as easy as using Windows or Mac OS X, thanks to the Ubuntus of the world. However, it wasn’t always like that. In the past, Linux was more geared towards geeks who liked messing with co...
I’m sure most, if not all, dotTechies have watched at least one spy movie that contained super high-tech, futuristic technology that normal people drool over. You know, like James Bond gadgets. Well, the following watercraft...
