The politics of the green movement and the polarity of views have often prevented real debate on climate change from happening. Each side will reinforce their opinion with selective facts from the data and use every opportunity to ridicule their opposition's theories. A great deal of the climate discussion that has appeared in the media has been coloured by specious
I probably have 20 remotes in my possession at this time, with at least four in current use and they all look and work basically the same. A remotes today looks the same as it did 20 years ago . This designed worked fine when all we wanted the remote to do was change channels and adjust volume on the
I am still recovering from Vegas and BlogWorld. A lot was accomplished in the 5 days I was in Vegas. I share some of that along with a pile of tech news and information. Two shows from Texas and then back to Honolulu for two shows. The following Sponsors support GNC your support of them is appreciated! GoDaddy services saves
Today it was announced that the Nintendo Wii will finally get Netflix streaming without a disc. This goes along with the announcement a few days ago that the Sony PS3 would also get disc-free Netflix along with some content in 1080p with 5.1 surround sound. So, now the question is, will all Netflix apps get the 1080p, 5.1 treatment? Netflix
To describe the Buffalo DriveStation Quad as merely an external hard drive would be doing it a considerable injustice and likely to miss the point. This is an external drive on steroids and with attitude. To start with, you'd be hard pushed to call it portable. It's 14.9 cm wide, 15.4 high, 23.3 cm deep and weighs somewhere in the
Just writing about 4chan can make you nervous. You feel obligated to add the caveat "we love 4chan!" That's nothing more than a plea of "please don't take down my site". 4Chan has been active lately as you may have heard. They are on a crusade against anti-file-sharing companies and they are making a statement. The latest came today, as
It’s always fun when technology intersects, and it becomes possible to do something cool that was previously not possible and/or was never thought of. Such is the case with my Sprint HTC Evo smartphone. Sure, it’s a pocket computer. Sure, it has WiFi. As such, sure, it’s a network device with a potential node on my home network. Rewind. What
If today’s smartphones are as powerful as our desktop machines were 5 years ago, the question emerges – why do smartphones have all of these apps written for them, whereas traditional desktop and laptop computers usually have a much smaller number of more generalized, less specialized programs installed? Compared to the traditional laptop or desktop computer, the smartphone is with
If you are look for a cool geeky gift for the holiday season, then you might want to check out this Giant Shift Key LED lamp. Yes, it's exactly what it says. Powered either via USB or three AA batteries, you simply press down on the key to turn it on and off. (Actually, what would be exceptional cool is
The recent introduction of GoogleTV by Logitech and Sony has generated a lot of hype. At the moment I am not so sure that it deserves it. It's nice and it looks useful, but I can do more with my HTPC and I don't necessarily think it's better than Roku or the upcoming Boxee Box. And the Logitech box is
Having won the format wars, Blu-ray is the hi-def standard; USB3 ports are appearing more regularly on motherboards and 3D is definitely flavour of the month. So it's not entirely unsurprising that Buffalo has brought out an external drive that brings all three together. The BR3D-12U3 Blu-ray drive was released back in September and brings together all the latest technologies
The Lower Merion School (Pennsylvania) has agreed to a settlement with two students involved in the laptop spying case that made national news in February of this year.
