Elephant Drive, in association with Amazon is creating a service similar to that of Xdrive. However, they offer unlimited offsite backup free of charge if you sign up as a beta tester!
Although it promises free unlimited storage you have to keep in mind, you are placing all your personal data onto someone else's servers. I'm sure they have very strict security and access policies but the fact remains is that al [...]
Microsoft today revealed the minimum specifications for Windows Vista, in two tiers: "Vista Capable" and "Premium Ready." And as usual, the emphasis is on minimum.
I was actually, after all the hype, expecting Vista's requirements to be higher than what was announced. Most people who bought a somewhat decent PC in the last 2 years should have enough CPU horsepower and RAM for the new OS.
One item which WILL r [...]
Well I read all the posts and articles about people experiencing hardware failure problems with their Xbox 360. I thought to myself, "nah" that's not going to happen to me.
Sure enough, I got the system on December 12, 2005 I have been playing it since then without a single issue. As you can see from my gamerscoe on the gamercard on this site I have played quite a bit and enjoyed it.
So as I said, the thing [...]
Sony probably didn't want anyone to find out until closer to launch but thanks to the wonderful interweb, the cat is now out of the bag.
The "budget" $499 PS3 system apart from having a smaller HD (20 vs 60GB) than the "premium" $599 PS3 actually has several other features missing including HDMI output! WTF? What happened to true-HD? What good is BluRay without HDMI..apart from HDMI, the $499 system also doesn't [...]
One of the main problems with Windows Mobile 5.0 devices is that they don't have a lot of RAM available to users so you can't run a lot of applications at the same time, and on top of that some applications aren't good about returning the RAM they use after they're done.
RAM in Windows Mobile 5.0 works in the same way as RAM on a PC. It's volatile storage which means that if power is lost everything in [...]
So there have been some really good games out for the Xbox 360 recently such as Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (GRAW), Burnout Revenge, etc. However, one that just came out recently cannot be considered as good, not even excellent but dare I say it, revolutionary.
RPGs have been around for ages, I remember playing Final Fantasy 1 on the original Nintendo (NES) - wow that makes me feel so old. The concept behind [...]
One thing that I HAVE been spending a lot of time with recently is my new Cingular 8125 - based on the HTC Wizard. You can read the review on my site to learn more about it.
The thing is since I've had the device, I've started to really enjoy it more and more for the simple reason that *gasp*, it's Windows. Granted there are several problems with Windows in general, biggest ones being security and stability BUT [...]
Funny that the last post was all about getting back on top of things and posting more frequently but since then, sadly, my wife has been ill and we've spent most of our time focused on helping her get better. She just had surgery yesterday and she is doing better, hopefully she won't have any more problems as a result but the next few days will be part of the painful recovery she has to go through.
In any case, [...]
Well I think the last post on here was quite some time ago and I feel bad that I haven't had time to post anything new since then. I'm going to try my best to post frequently on here so to keep things flowing rather than being so stagnant. Work has been busy and I was in Houston for a couple of days but now I should be able to allocate some time to post on here.
I've also posted a review of the Cingular 8125 (HT [...]
So rather than spend the money researching on ways to improve the health of the world’s poor population, our geniuses at MIT spent the time working on a laptop. Then again having a laptop is definitely better than having all your limbs, right?
I don’t quite understand how develop $100 laptop will improve the daily life of the target audience - impoverished kids. I think the idea is heartfelt but re [...]
