Listen To And Record Radio With Tapin

If you loved it when radio stations came online and just wished there were a DVR for them, then you may be in luck.  I frequently open music in a tab of my browser while I am working, and sometimes there's something coming up that I wish I could record. Tapin Radio is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, and 7

The Best; Then There’s The Rest

One of the classic methods of marketing centers around the idea of bundling; i.e. getting people to pay for lower-quality merchandise by pushing sheer quantity over quality. This strategy isn’t always successful, but when it works it can work brilliantly. When I was a teenager growing up in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, music was sold via vinyl records.

GNC-2010-12-09 #633 The Non Show

Gave it the college try folks, but my voice and throat just simply gave up on me. I have a very short 6 minute show, probably my shortest ever. But after trying to record the show and hacking on you 10 times in 30 minutes I decided to dump it in the trash can. Will be back strong from Carlsbad

Buffalo MicroStation SSD Review

If you're the kind of person who has to have the fastest processor, the quickest memory and the nippiest hard drive, then you might as well stop reading this review and simply go out and buy a Buffalo MicroStation SSD. Because it's fast. Probably not the fastest SSD out there, but in comparison to a spinning hard disk drive, it's

Xmarks Officially Announces They Will Stay In Business

I think by now everyone has probably heard that Xmarks will not be going out of business as they had previously announced.  After an outcry from users they relented somewhat and looked into possibly becoming a pay service, as was previously reported here.  Many users, myself included, pledged to pay for the service. Then there were whisperings of a purchase

Lazyscope Review

This is a review of the application Lazyscope which was release as a beta recently. There are a couple of things that I hope they fix or add in the future. The first is they need to add Facebook any more that is a must for any social media application. Something tells me that this is in their future. It is an air application, which makes it a nonstarter for a lot of people and also limit it to the desktop. Finally my biggest complaint so far is that when you close and reopen the application the feeds you added are gone and you have to add them again. This is something they definitely have to fix before going publc. If you are not afraid to try a beta application and don't mind a few hiccups I would recommend trying this application. Below is some screen captures on how it works.

Garmin Maze Adverts

Garmin have been running a series of poster and print adverts in Europe suggesting that we're all too busy going from A to B that we miss the interesting things along the way.  The campaign was created by the advertising group Advico Young and Rubicam. It's very cleverly done - if you can't see what's going on, move back from

Verizon Releases Update For Motorola Droid X

Verizon has released an update for the Motorola Droid X phone that adds some great new functionality.  The update is, confusingly enough, called 2.3.340.  But, despite the name, it's not Android 2.3 Gingerbread, which was also in the news today.  This is strictly a Verizon update - or so far as I can see.  You can find it and download

Festive Family Films

As the festive (silly) season gets under way, the folks at Buffalo Technology polled 3,000 people on their favourite Christmas films.  Topping the chart is comedy Home Alone starring Macauley Culkin, followed by Frank Capra's 1946 classic, It's a Wonderful Life.  Rounding out the medal positions is the animated adaptation of Raymond Briggs' The Snowman.   Miracle on 34th Street and White Christmas complete the top
