I enjoy finding cool mods for computers, be they Mac or PC.I cam across this mod a few weeks back. Having used Apple ][ and Apple IIgs computers back in the day I thought that this was pretty cool!There is just one problem with it, no access to ports! The mac mini appears to just be stuffed in the casing on an Apple ][ disk drive. There appears to be no effort in making the ports in the back of the

I've added a number of podcasts to my RSS reader in iTunes. When possible, I try to get enhanced podcasts so that I can get the 'chapter' option that enhanced podcasts offer.In the past five years I've grown to really like to listen to a number of people because of the news, insights and opinions that they provide. Of course, just like a newspaper, I don't want to listen to every topic that someone

Yet another (short) series on BBC that is worth watching.This series follows the adventures of a Martin Shaw, a catholic priest, who happens to be an exorcist. Of course the Vatican isn't completely on his side which makes his job not as easy. As the series starts out they seem (to me anyway) to be skeptical of all this exorcism hog-wash, but as the series goes on it gives us (or at least me) the impression

One of my RSS feeds deals with all of the free apps on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Initially I looked at every app just in case there was something I wanted, but now this whole "FREE" and "LITE" bullcrap is driving me nuts.Apple claims that there are a gazzilion apps on the app store. OK smartypants, how many of those apps are "FREE" or "LITE"...in other words DEMO versions of full apps? How many of

One of the video games, from my childhood, that really stand out on the Amiga platform for me is Chuck Rock. This game is a typical side-scrolling platformer. The overall plot isn't that sophisticated. Chuck's wife (or girlfriend) is abducted by an evil doer and Chuck being the cavalier caveman that he is must go rescue her.Along the road there will be some dinosaurs that help chuck on his noble quest,

A lot of people will consider what I am writing as heresy, but I do think that people should retire some of their blogs if they have multiple blogs going. In the past month a retired my two year old blog called Ενα μηλο την ημέρα (an apple a day) which is a Greek blog on Apple related news and tech. I also retired my first Greek blog

Here's and interesting (short) animated documentary on the history of the internet.For most geeks among us this is common knowledge, but it's a good video to get those among us who don't know much about the origins of the internet up to speed :-)

One of this season's ITV series that I enjoyed watching is Demons.It takes place in modern London (if I am not mistaken), and it follows the life of the last of the Van Hellsings (Luke) who just found out that all that was written about vampires and demons is true.Philip Glenister (or Life on Mars fame) is his godfather who apprentices Luke into the world of cleansing this world of half-lives (their

One more service to bite the dust - Yahoo! BriefcaseI started using it when it first came out but in recent years it's taken a back seat and I started using box.net, iDisk and google docs for the various cloud-drive requirements.

To tell you the truth, this was a somewhat non-memorable game.It is true that it had some great graphics, compared to other games I had played on portable platforms at the time. The story is essentially Mickey falling asleep on a fairy tale book, and he becomes the protagonist that saves the land.The stages in the game were good. As I see screenshots of the game, my memory is jogged, but it's nothing
