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 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 →

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 →

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. What Can OmniTouch Do? The OmniTouch is currently a device that doesn’t have the same convenient … Continue reading →

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.

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. Well, I found a story today that shows that 75 percent of Americans use their phones at the affectionately-named “Thunder Box.” That’s tons … Continue reading →

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.
