Friday, May 22 2009 - Technology

This past week, mozilla has outdone themselves one more time with an amazing feature call "JetPack", aptly named for accelerating addon development with cloud based languages. JetPack allows the developer to create some incredibly useful addons using HTML, CSS, JS, and a jQuery syntax hosted...

Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC

Tuesday, April 28 2009 - Technology

Apparently, Windows 7 will support a virtualized state called "Windows XP Mode", in which XP runs natively underneath Win7 in a virtual environment. You can install legacy applications under the XP environment, and they then get published to the Win7 desktop. While this is a very interesting...

Web design 2.0 - Not just for designers anymore!

Friday, January 09 2009 - Technology

Have you ever heard of a web designer? I'm sure at some point everyone has heard that title before. The first thing many assume is that a web designer has the magical ability to turn any material into web and multimedia gold. I'm not saying that isn't the case, but these days a designer has much more...

DRM-Free finally makes it to iTunes

Friday, January 09 2009 - Technology

DRM has been the bane of any true audiophile's existence, so it makes perfect sense to make every song on the nation's largest digital distribution service protected under it. Wait, something is wrong with the picture here, isn't it supposed to be about the freedom of expression and the ease of use?...

Thursday, January 08 2009 - Technology

Its been a while since the last actual tech update but here goes nothing. For those of you not in the loop, both CES2009 and MacWorld are going on this week. The big news? Microsoft's very own "Stevenote", and MacWorld's lack thereof. Up first, Steve Balmer presented Windows 7 public beta,...

Gamespot down? E3 Outage Details

Monday, July 14 2008 - Technology

Previously, I had stated that you can see live coverage of Microsoft's conference. For a 15 minute period of time, Gamespot suffered from a DDOS from everyone hitting the servers at once. I missed the first 15 minutes of the Resident Evil 5 playable demo! What the hell is that? It's back up right now...

E3 is here! Live coverage at GameSpot

Monday, July 14 2008 - Technology

E3 is here, at long last! And let me tell you, this year's lineup looks very impressive-- albeit a tad limited with the turnout-- but nonetheless impressive! E3 has decidedly been slowly degrading over the past few years, but the one thing you can count on is bigger and better titles. This week, we're...

Old Stuff, New Futures. The Invisible Man.

Friday, July 11 2008 - Technology

Ok, so this is an old video. But I've been following it for a while. Apparently, the technology has finally been perfected in the visible light spectrum, which means that we'll be seeing a perfect "invisibility suit" very, very soon. I'll keep you posted, but for now, here's a teaser....

Goodbye, Bill Gates. We'll Miss You.

Tuesday, July 01 2008 - Technology

I noticed something very odd when I came in to work today. I logged onto my workstation, started up Outlook, Internet Explorer, and Live Messenger... but it seemed "quiet". "Quiet?" you ask. Yes, it seems quieter, less busy, less... Microsoft today. Today, July 1st, is the first day...
