NFL Teams May Replace Playbooks With iPads
With the Super Bowl just around the corner, how could we not give readers a little technology related NFL news? Whether you love it or hate it, there is no denying that Apple’s iPad has been hugely successful in a variety of scenarios. So much so that NFL teams are starting to take notice and could abandon their paper playbooks in…
Flickr Accidentally Deletes User’s 4,000 Photos
You don’t have to be a member of Flickr to experience the pain off of this one! Mirco Wilhelm, a devout Flickruser that has in total uploaded over 4,000 photos to the site, sent in a complaint to customer service about another user that was breaking the rules (publishing stolen photos). The next time Mirco visited his account at the popular…
Need a TV? Now is the Time to Buy
For those seeking out a brand-new flat-screen TV, early January may seem like the best time of year to purchase, but not so. Instead, it seems like the best time of year to purchase a TV is right before, or after, the Super Bowl. Seems a bit silly, but when you look at the facts, it does seem to make sense.
Has Microsoft Been Taking Google’s Results to Use in Bing?
It’s not too often that a company such as Google will speak quite bluntly about the poor business practices of its competitors, but in this particular case, it might have had good reason to. In its research, it has found that Microsoft’s Bing search engine has been ripping off its results, and it has the damning proof to help back those…
PS3 Version of Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 Includes Internet DRM
On the PC, gamers are all too used to draconian DRM schemes, but believe it or not – console gamers are not devoid of it either. It could be imagined that there are no such DRM schemes on a console that could cause a real headache for gamers, but that’s not true. With the advent of downloadable games, it seems developers are getting…
Motherboard Manufacturers Outline Solutions to 6-Series Chipset Flaw
After news of a design flaw found by Intel in its 6-series chipset spread like wildfire, motherboard manufacturers are starting to issue press releases with information on what consumers can do if they have an affected board. Asus, Gigabyte and MSI have all stated that those with an affected motherboard can choose to either use SATA…
World Browser Market Share – January 2011
So with the first month of the year gone, leaving me clueless as to where it went, lets have a look at how the Internet browser market is fairing. The big news would be that Chrome has finally broken the double digit barrier at 10.7% market share, up from 9.98% in December. This is largely due to taking chunks out of IE, which has hit…
E-books Outsell Hardcover at Amazon; Soon to Surpass Paperback
In what might come as a surprise to no one, Amazon earlier this week announced that e-book sales on its site are outselling hardcovers, and it’s expected that in the second quarter, they’ll also outsell paperbacks. If you’re not impressed by this, your opinion might change when I tell you that these figures were gained from actual purchases…
Have an Intel H67/P67 Motherboard? What Should You Do?
Intel yesterday made quite an impact around the Web, but not in a good way. The company of course announced that most of its shipped H67/P67 chipsets include a SATA-related fault, and immediately, news sites all over reported on it, and consumers who either just built a Sandy Bridge rig, or had plans to, were hit with whiplash…
Crashed iPad? Recover the Data for $1,000!
In computing, backing up our data on a regular basis should be like second nature, but for most, it’s never even a thought. That is, until something catastrophic happens and we end up losing important data, and lots of it. On a desktop PC, backing up is simple, but on a mobile, it’s a little more tedious, and requires you to actually take out…
Thortech Announces New Thunderbolt Series Power Supplies
Thortech, a company that has been in the industry for 15 years but few may have heard of, announced the launch of their new Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt Plus series power supplies.

Intel Admits SATA Problems with Sandy Bridge Chipsets
Looking to build or purchase a Sandy Bridge PC? After an announcement made by Intel today, you may want to hold off. According to the company, the chipsets that support Sandy Bridge (H67/P67) have launched with a fault that can cause storage issues down the road. Whether that means the SATA capabilities just die, or the drives…
GamersFirst Set to Relaunch APB Reloaded
Once in a while, a game comes along that holds so much promise but ends up falling flat on its face. The most recent game that comes to mind that fell the hardest would have to be Realtime Worlds’ 2010 release, APB: All Points Bulletin. The initial buzz about this “GTA IV MMO” was huge and I personally was almost rabid about getting my…
OMG! Ubuntu! Interviews Linus Torvalds
Aside from the obvious mass of geeks, one stature at Linux conferences all over the world is the man who invented the Linux kernel over 20 years ago, Linus Torvalds. At the recent Linux.conf.au 2011 conference held in Brisbane, OMG! Ubuntu! caught up with Linus to barrage him with some questions; to get his opinion onUbuntu, and to see…
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Linked to Russian Airport Bombing
Gaming… fun for most, but a target for others. In the case of the horrible bombing that occurred at theDomodedovo International airport in Moscow earlier this week, the Russian media are blaming video games, with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in the hotseat. This brings us back once again to the not-so-uncommon…
Sony NGP Announced
So we were expecting the Playstation Portable 2 (PSP2), instead we get the Next Generation Portable or NGP – It’s still a code-name for the time being, but here it is, Sony’s next foray into the the portable gaming world. Most of the important details have been released at Sony’s Tokyo trade show, to which most will be salivating over…
Stereoscopic 3D – It’s Lens Flare All Over Again
So I’m a little (very) cynical when it comes to ‘3D’ or Stereoscopic, since, well, it’s not actually 3D, but an optical illusion to provide the appearance of spacial depth. It’s grossly expensive to purchase the equipment, limited content, most varieties require the use of rather goofy glasses and you have to be seated in a ‘sweet spot’ in order to view…
First Stable Version of LibreOffice Released
This past fall, members of the development team for OpenOffice.org left their posts and moved on over to a group called “The Document Foundation” to create a similar project, called LibreOffice. The move happened as a result of Oracle Corporation’s buyout of Sun Microsystems, and since Oracle tends to kill off projects it doesn’t find value…
Intel Hires will.i.am as ‘Director of Creative Innovation’
In an interesting announcement coming out of left field, Intel names megastar recording artist will.i.am as the company’s “Director of Creative Innovation”. For the next couple of years, will.i.am is acting as an official Intel employee to help the company further its “compute continuum” vision – that is, to help create devices for the future.

NVIDIA introduces it’s latest – more mainstream solution, the GTX 560 Ti, a model revision of the GTX 460 to take advantage of the matured 40nm manufacturing process, providing users with the GPU they expected over 6 months ago. Higher clock speeds…
Should Netflix Get Rid of its DVD Rental Service?
When Netflix launched its DVD rental service in 1999, DVDs were still the main source of movie-viewing in the world, and thanks to the convenience factor, it didn’t take much time at all before a countless number of homes in the US had red envelopes hit their mailboxes. Fast-forward to today, and it’s not too hard to see that a lot has…
The State of GPU Acceleration in Firefox for Linux
One of the biggest features coming to Mozilla’s Firefox 4.0 Web browser is the ability to take advantage of yourPC’s graphics card in order to accelerate the Web. At the least, page rendering can be heavily sped up, and if you are a heavy browser, that’s something that would be noticeable right off the bat. Fortunately for Windows and…
iDOS Emulator Returns to App Store; Simple Hack Allows Game Loading
One of the coolest apps to ever hit Apple’s App Store (in my opinion) is iDOS, an emulator that allows gamers to relive some of their DOS favorites. Unfortunately, like many other emulators submitted to the App Store, Apple deemed iDOS unacceptable due to its ability to execute code. To get its app back up, the developers bundled six…
Shogun Bros Chameleon X-1 – Three Peripherals In One
In order for any hardware to be a success in the technology world, it has to be a fresh idea that offers something that the competitors don’t, but still be completely functional. Shogun Bros. look to cover all of these points with the release of its Chameleon X-1 mouse. I mean game controller. I mean remote. What do I mean?
Broken Monitor? Cook it in an Oven!
When I first laid my eyes on Gateway’s XHD3000 30-inch display, I was in love. It offered the 2560×1600 resolution I was looking for, great specs, an awesome content upscaler, an ample soundbar and looked great to boot. Once it came to market, I got a sample in to review, and not long after, I purchased the monitor and have been making full…
