Cars and Computers, and lots of problems.
Happy Monday to everyone. I don’t really have anything special to report on today, but I thought you might be interested to know what has been going on over the past few days instead of blogging on here. First off, I was spending time with my girlfriend while I had the opportunity this weekend. Sorry, blogosphere. She [...]
What is a Virtual Machine?
So, along with the idea of having regular features, I know that I want one of these regular features to be an explanation of one computing concept or another. Maybe titled What Wednesdays, following the template set forth by Mark in the comments of one of my earlier posts. Anyway, today I’m going to take [...]
Aug 24: Facebook starts lawsuit, new iPhone anti-theft, and more!
Good Tuesday to all of you. I’m back again with a news roundup for today. Overall it’s a pretty interesting day, so if you’re interesting in seeing what I’ve compiled, read on!
Upgrade Schedules, Traveling Guides, and Traffic Jams
So, this blog post is going to be going out a little bit later than I had intended, but I had a little bit of a crazy day – what with having to take my car into the shop. Anyway, it’s time for me to give a little roundup of interesting news items that I [...]
Blogger’s Block
So it seems I’ve hit that inevitable block that all the bloggers talk about where I’m having trouble finding things I’m interested in writing about. The other problem I’m facing is that when I find something I’m interested in writing about, I have trouble sitting down and writing about it while it is still relevant. I haven’t [...]
A Modern Keyboard-Computer?
So in today OMGAWESOME category, we have the first keyboard-computer…. or at least the first modern one frankensteined together from a Macbook Air. Bart Reardon, the organizer of this little project to salvage a busted Macbook Air, seems to have made some pretty cool progress. For anyone that’s interested in his hackery (yes, that’s a [...]
Oracle vs. Google Overview
Hello blogosphere! As you’ve probably noticed I’ve been absent for awhile. I’ve been spending the past few weeks taking a break from the typical daily routine – so my blogging schedule has gotten off schedule, but maybe now that classes are starting back I’ll be able to jump back into my daily routine. So, at this point [...]
Here Endith the Jailbreak Honeymoon
Well it looks like the jailbreak honeymoon is over. Stories about how iPhone jailbreaking code could potentially be used to create iPhone rootkits have started surfacing. I can’t say I’m entirely surprised. Since the federal government ruled that jailbreaking was an exception to the DMCA copyright law, it has been getting coverage on major media [...]
Saudi Kingdom vs RIM
So I may be the only person that finds this concerning, but the Saudi government seems to want RIM, the company behind Blackberry, to have a physical server for their Blackberry Messenger service located in-country. For those who don’t know, BlackBerry’s internal network is entirely encrypted making it hard for governments to peek into for [...]
HP: Got CEO?
Anyone who is looking for a new job might consider applying to HP. Their CEO has been fired for mismanagement of funds related to a certain female consultant. What started as an internal investigation based up on their Sexual Harassment policy ended with a violation of their Standards of Business policies. I’ll take people with [...]
