Aren’t you?

Ever have one of those days/weeks/months where you’re a complete busy bee that can’t seem to find time to do anything apart from work? I’ve been like that lately. I think I need something like this to snap me out of it…

Yep. That looks effective. 

…They’re right when they choose the best time to buffer.

“The April, 1935 issue of Everyday Science and Mechanics included this nifty invention which was to be the next logical step in the world of publishing. Basically a microfilm reader mounted on a large pole, the media device was supposed to let you sit back in your favorite chair while reading your latest tome of choice.

It has proved possible to photograph books, and throw them on a screen for examination, as illustrated long ago in this magazine. At the left is a device for applying this for home use and instruction; it is practically automatic.”

Additional text accompanying the illustration reads, “You can read a ‘book’ (which is a roll of miniature film), music, etc., at your ease.”

You asked for it!

On launch the Blackberry Playbook was underwhelming, but RIM recently released the Blackberry Playbook 2.0 OS, so it was a good time to give it a second chance review. In this week’s episode of Geekbuzz I review the Playbook and the new 2.0 OS’ promised features.

February 21, 2012 was the release date for Playbook OS 2.0.[28] The software update added integrated native email, calendar, and contact apps. It also included visual changes to the operating system, support for a variety of Android applications and also brought three new applications built into the OS…

I asked you guys what you wanted to see in a tablet and here was a few of your replies:

I have covered the following features in order of appearance:

2. App World / Marketplace – App Availability

3. Gaming – Dead Space and Plants vs. Zombies

4. Screen Response

5. User interface, speed and intuitiveness

6. Wifi capabilities

7. Bugs and Issues

8. Battery Life

** The full video of how long the Playbook took to boot up.. jaw dropping!

Hope you enjoyed my review!

What would be your perfect tablet?

I’m somewhat surprised that EA survived after making these kinds of game “exclusives.” Oh how things have changed since 1997.

I know I owe you some serious updates to this site. In the meantime, please allow yourself to be horrifyingly fascinated by this:

Oh, and my other secret is I have been posting regularly both here for Linux and here for other geeky stuff.

I also constantly update Twitter, Google + and Facebook (buttons above), but I’ll likely post-date articles to reflect what I did neglect. Sorry!

Installing your favorite software (games, applications, and utilities) is as simple as can be in Ubuntu! Everything you need is at your fingertips, in the Software Center. In this episode of Ubuntu is Easy, I show you just how easy it is to find and install the programs that can make your switch to Linux even easier.

Too easy for you? I have another video for more intermediate users set to post by this weekend!

Amazing intro made by Synicade

In my gaming experience, it just seems like the only PC crowd is more friendly, on the whole. Here is some supporting data for that hypothesis:
