Banning Twitter at NFL Football Games</h1> <article> <h1>Banning Twitter at NFL Football Games</h1> It’s fourth and goal on the one yard line. Twitter is driving for the go-ahead score. The ball is hiked and Twitter is stopped short. The NFL wins the game! Or do they? The NFL recently promised to crack down on fans Twittering play-by-play action during NFL games. We can certainly understand why they would impose the bans [...] </article> <article> <h1>The Day Google Stopped</h1> It happened on May 14, 2009. The day the world stopped spinning and people sat with empty gazes at the computer screens, their mouths slightly ajar, their fingers frozen over the keys. Phones rang, babies cried, dogs barked, but no one could do anything about it. Google had stopped working. Search queries hung in the [...] </article> <article> <h1>Dell Diagnostic Lights</h1> If you have a Dell computer, there is a chance it has some type of external diagnostic light to help you or the technician servicing your computer determin the problem with your PC. Sometimes the diagnostic light on your Dell will be the power button itself, or it might be a series of lights on [...] </article> <article> <h1>Netbooks | What’s The Deal With Those Things?</h1> Netbooks have become the new gadget (This is based on the highly scientific polls I have taken with myself and my dog–we both agree). So I ask myself and my dog (who promptly farts and falls back to sleep) “What’s the deal with these netbooks? Why does everyone want them?” They are tiny, they are [...] </article> <article> <h1>Hey Conficker, Thanks!</h1> Conficker was supposed to devastate the PC community today, this April 1st 2009. Not since Y2k has the world braced for such an impact to their digital lives. Yet, as with Y2k, Conficker didn’t seem to have much of an impact. This doesn’t mean it won’t pop up next week, or even next month, and [...] </article> <article> <h1>Microsoft’s SteadyState is the Ultimate Defense against Five Year Olds</h1> It’s been a while since we’ve done a Daily Download, but I felt compelled to let everyone know about Microsoft’s free program called SteadyState . No longer can children log into your home computer and push that magic button (invisible to adults) that often changes the screen resolution to 640×480 with 16 colors. Or that magic [...] </article> <article> <h1>Have You Lost Faith in Microsoft?</h1> Windows 7 RC1 will be released soon, and this generally means the Ready To Manufacture version will not be far behind. As people are still abandoning the Microsoft boat and diving into the vast, sparkling sea called Apple, I have to wonder exactly when did people lose faith in Windows. For me, it happened in [...] </article> <article> <h1>Improve Privacy in Your Windows Vista Start Menu</h1> Windows Vista is a cesspool of sin and corruption. You have no rights as a user and cannot do anything without prying eyes being able to track your every move. Or course, I’m kidding. Vista is a very secure Operating System that gives users the ability to allow or disallow items from showing up in [...] </article> <article> <h1>When to Quit and Reinstall Windows</h1> There comes a point in everyone’s computing life when they need to reinstall Windows. Some people do it more than others and some panic and just go out and buy a new PC. Reinstalling isn’t fun for most people. They would rather be walking on the beach, sleeping or even getting gut-shot and left for [...] </article> <article> <h1>Roku, Amazon, Hulu, Comcast and Verizon | The War in Your Living Room</h1> The battle lines have been drawn and the war is raging on your living room.
