I thought I’d get into the spirit of the holidays and offer you a reminder of why you shouldn’t wait too long to do your Christmas shopping.

You probably already know about hidden fees in car payments, loans, and stuff like that. Have you looked at your phone or cable Internet bill lately? I think you’ll find some of the most shameless hidden fees riddled all over payments you normally make, all of which will make you wonder why you signed that contract.

OK. So, I think I got a few questions here and there from people, enough to start my first edition of Ask The Tech Guy.

Once you read this, pass the link on to your friends. They’ll appreciate you for … Continue reading
If you haven’t been under a rock, you know that solid state drives (SSDs) are the newest craze in data storage. While it’s all fine and dandy in writing, the actual implications might make you want to appreciate your “outdated” system’s hard drive. There are some things you should know about this new piece of hardware that might make you consider keeping your hard drive.
Hi guys and girls! While this site only rambles about technology, I’m popping in to wish you a happy Thanksgiving day. I understand that this year has been full of hardships for all of us, and some of you might be wondering what tomorrow may bring. You can take today to think about what you have, instead of thinking about what you don’t. Today is a day I’m also going to open up to you and show you that, while … Continue reading
Today, I’m going to teach you how to completely obliterate your computer. Some of you might already know some of the techniques in this guide, and may have practiced them by accident. I’m going to give you a lesson in transforming your computer from a technological marvel teeming with life into a pile of metal as useful to your daily life as a chunk of coal.
The universal serial bus (USB) is the best thing that ever happened to computers since power buttons. If you take a moment to think about how your life would be like without USB ports on your computer, you’d quickly find yourself hugging that little box of integrated circuits without question. Believe it or not, there was a bygone era when USB didn’t exist, which makes you think about how little compassion for end users PC manufacturers must have had back … Continue reading
