Vantec NexStar GX Review

 

This is a short episode with a quick look at the NexStar GX, an excellent USB 2.0 external hard drive enclousure with 3 extra USB ports as well.  A nice piece of equipment that would set you back about 50 dollars.  Music is “La Tortura” by Shakira.

Podcast Audio Quality

 

I’ve got some emails in the last two weeks or so about the quality of the podcasts.  Issue being that the audio is only in one channel (what I actually record, not the songs at the end).  Because of this, it has to be some issue that I have with my mic and the way [...]

Man Mistakenly Thinks He’s Going to Receieve Free Car

 

A rather long title for a disturbing article.  To boil it all down, a huge fan of the Carolina Panthers was “chosen” as the recipient of a “new car” at the last game.  The announcers made it very believable and all, but when the cameras zoomed in on the guy, he got a toy car [...]

Facebook Mini-Feed Update

 

I’m not sure how many of you out there have ever used Facebook before, but it’s basically a much better (in my opinion) version of  MySpace for college students (and some high school students, as more schools are added).
The controversy this week has been over a new feature added that allows you to easily see [...]

New iMacs and Mac Mini

 

I just thought that I would throw in my two cents on my feelings about the new iMacs. The specs on these things are amazing, especially when you consider the price. They make me want a desktop now more than ever and the 2000 dollar one with the built in 24″ display makes [...]

BitRocket – New Bittorrent Client

 

I’m not sure that I would get rid of Transmission just yet, but I like the way that this torrent client works. Besides just downloading the torrents, it has a built-in RSS reader so that you can subscribe to the sites and be notified of the latest torrents added, lets you create and seed [...]

10 (Free) things you can do to save the planet

 

Paul over at One Digital Life is really into keeping the planet healthy, something maybe more common over in California, but an unheard of topic here in Tennessee.  To spread the word, however, here is a rehash of his latest post, just because he wanted it reposted and I agree with what he’s saying.
1. Don’t [...]

Exciting Rumor Roundup

 

So I expect that most people that check in here are pretty well aware of what’s going in the Mac community. However, this post over at AppleInsider gives me goose bumps with excitement. New high-capicity iPod Nanos, video-streaming AirPort Express stations, movie downloads via the iTMS, 23″ HD Core 2 Duo based iMacs…..wow, [...]

Microsoft Feels Our Pain

 

I found this while searching through Google Video and had to share. This well done skit says that Microsoft gets to punish the bad coders that introduce bugs into the OS. I found it really, really funny and I hope that you do too.

10 Years of Meth Use

 

I found this picture on the internet awhile ago and just thought that I would repost it here. Note to everyone, don’t ever do Meth as you will end up looking like something out of a Sci-Fi movie real quick. Bone chilling because it’s real.
