    Happy Birthday Windows 95!

    Windows ME was basically an upgrade to Windows 98 SE. It still was based on DOS (more hidden than in 95/98 - but still there) and tried to employ the interface of Windows 2000 (already released at the time). Windows 2000 was considered a Professional OS so it did not meet many requirements of...

    Instantly Obliterate Data On Magnetic Media

    Absoutly it would render any hard drive unuseable as all the underlying formatting and management data will be wiped as well as the user data. Modern hard drives use a LOT of space to manage bad sectors, keep logs of errors (CRC), extra drive space for sector remapping, etc.. This extra meta...

    Seattle Man Wins Small Claims Case Against Apple

    Mope54 - You have provided me countless hours of entertainment here wasting your time fighting everyone on this pointless conversation.. It's quite amusing.. Here are a few facts: mope54 is semi-correct as a 2008 MBP 2.4 has a different logic board from a 2.5 or special order 2.6ghz...

    Holy Crap Video of the Day

    FAKE!!!!! I tried this several weeks ago with several different "clear" CDs. If the plastic was that soft (to make a bubble of sorts) after heating it with a lighter, it would have just dripped to the floor once the flame touched it.

    Software Protects You From 'Shoulder Surfers'

    Where the idea sounds cool, this really only works for "text" and having a lot of text on the screen. The other issue would be that where the authorized users eyes are focused, and he moves his eyes to read another area, onlookers could potentially figure out the area of text that is valid...

    Windows Mobile On The iPhone

    Totally Fake.. There would be no way the touch screen would work without the iPod/iPhone OS loading drivers for it to even select what OS to boot into. The touch screen requires the proper .kext driver file to even work.

    The Unofficial List of Good mATX Motherboards (Overclocking and Not)

    Anyone here tested the Biostar P4TSV with a CT-479 and a Pentium-m CPU. This would be an excellent combo for overclocking in SFF when most people are hitting 2.6-2.8 with the 1.6ghz Pentium-m on the stock AIR cooling

    I went bowling the other night and had a few drinks and came up with a crazy though: How many possibilities are there for each possible score in bowling (0-300). Well, there is approx 1.6e+18 different combinations possible, so I have started writting a simulator which will do this work and...
