We’ve seen all sorts of improvements in our lives brought about by portable computing. We have tablets, smartphones, etc. But have you noticed the great supply of portable scanners we have followed by a low demand? Perhaps the public doesn’t know they exist? What about portable printers? How can people not buy those? The Tech GuyMiguel has been working with computers back when the latest processor could print “Hello World” on the screen a couple of times and everyone was … Continue reading
It’s been a while since we’ve tormented the Internet with our naughty words about crazy technology, and it’s about time we make a comeback, don’t you think?! A company called Nest came up with a new funky thermostat, cleverly called the “Nest Thermostat.” This thermostat is supposed to help regulate the amount of energy you consume in your home for climate control devices such as air conditioning and central heating. The Tech GuyMiguel has been working with computers back when … Continue reading
The Tech Guy may not be the most paramount example of overnight success in the world, but it’s a site that’s been growing at a rather healthy pace, and I’ve had the fortune of having very good relationships and readers throughout the site’s history. The site’s barely a year old, but I certainly got me some bragging rights about its current success. That said, I’ve had my first interview with a friend who owns a site called Marginal Boundaries, a … Continue reading
The following material is brought to you thanks to our guest, InkPal - the go-to place for environmentally friendly ink, cartridges, and toner. Do you remember your first smartphone? What about your first MP3 player? Your first computer? Here’s the big question: do you know where they are now? There was a time when you couldn’t wait to get your hands on those products. Then a better device came along and last year’s models were forgotten. But all of your old computers, devices and gadgets still exist … Continue reading
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
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
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
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
