Today, we’re going to talk about something that’s been looming over the horizon recently and causing lots of people to panic. There’s been a lot of talk about the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA, in short) and its potential effects on the Internet, and I’ve decided to interview experts and executives from different corners of the country who are both for and against CISPA. If you want to get the latest scoop on what corporations and experts are saying … Continue reading
Remember that lady who changed your diapers while you were busy giving her a hernia and some gray hairs? Remember that lady that cleaned up after you messes at school and gave you a free ride the first 18 or so years of your life? I remember that lady, and I call her “mom.” We’ve all got one of those ladies in our lives, and sometimes some of us men are even lucky enough to get married to a lady … Continue reading
In an attempt to either boost its own ego or waste my precious time, Logitech decided to bust out with a survey on my screen, just as I was about to attend to my business and get to work. Suddenly, it dawned on me: Hey, why don’t I make my survey submission entertaining and show all of The Tech Guy’s fans what I submitted? Heck, that’s not a bad idea. It’s been a while since I’ve written anything, and I’m … Continue reading
Hey there, fellas! It’s been a while since we’ve discussed how computers work. Today, we’ll discuss how the computer’s display and graphics card work. Both of these components are essential for your computer to tell you what’s going on, and the principle has been quite the same for a long time. The display has been a part of the personal computer since its inception and should be regarded as one of those components it can’t do without. So, without further … Continue reading
We’ve already covered the concept of a holographic tablet that can turn glass surfaces into touchscreens. However, some people took that concept a little further and created a device that can project a touch interface on any surface, even while it’s moving. This new solution, called OmniTouch, hopes to make the concept a reality, and has already been demonstrated as effective, in some ways.
You’ve seen people protesting ACTA. You’ve probably seen an article or two about the TPPA. And if you havent, you should probably have a look at both. These things, my friends, are the best that governments around the world could come up with to stop piracy. The solution to everything: Put people in jail. It’s the path – at least in their sadistic minds – of least resistance. It’s so much more simple than just telling private publishers, media companies, … Continue reading
Out of all the ridiculous shit ever thought up, I’d like to say that MPAA takes home the trophy this year. Yeah, I know the year isn’t over yet, but I have a strong feeling that nothing will ever be as ridiculous as considering people pirates for embedding a video on their websites.
Good morning, fellas! Did you know that a study has concluded that 100 percent of people poop? Well, we learn something new every day. The fact that everyone poops leads us to the following question: How many people poop while using their smartphones and tablets? It’s a question that surely hasn’t dawned only on my own demented mind.
For 20 years, I’ve lived in Florida until moving to Romania. Many of you are aware that hurricanes pass through that area. If you’re not, now you are! Often times, when a hurricane hits, it’s tough to get communications running again. As human beings, we feel the need to communicate not only because of the urgency of a situation, but also to feel connected with someone else. It helps quench the fear that something might go wrong. As über social … Continue reading
I’m quite the fan of green stuff, but not exactly for the same reasons everyone else goes nuts after them. Anyhow, there are innovations in technology that reduce the fingerprint we create on the environment and we have to give recognition to everyone that has made the effort to walk the extra mile and make high-powered hardware that doesn’t guzzle down exorbitant amounts of power. Now, without further ado, The Tech Guy tips its hat to two companies that have … Continue reading
