Screenshots for all!

One of the things that I love about my iPod Touch is that with a little two button press I can snap a screenshot of whatever I am doing at that moment. This of course has many useful application like creating instructs on setting up an application, a game, specifying settings for connecting to that proxy and so on. This functionality is something that is really missing in the PSP.Now you're going

Adieu, Geocities - Part Deux

I just got an email from Yahoo the other day about the closing of Geocities in October.They were supposed to shut down the service earlier this month, however the decided to give the old service a reprieve. The notice states that:On October 26, 2009, your GeoCities site will no longer appear on the Web, and you will no longer be able to access your GeoCities account and files. OK fair enough. I guess

BBC: Occupation

Last month the BBC was airing a new mini series called Occupation. The series was only three episodes long however it was really powerful, and definitely worth a watch.The series follows three British soldiers from the start of the Iraq invasion in 2003 until 2007. Some of the people who start off as soldiers end up not signing up again but they do become security contractors lured by the seemingly

That is an ugly phone!

I saw the announcement for the Surge on the Nokia press release website and I was looking around for a photo of the Surge. I found it weird because Nokia usually labels their phone as an E Series, N Series or some other numerical series device. I was expecting something like the Nokia 6555 instead of the "Nokia Surge".In any case, my eye caught an article on All About Symbian about the topic and I

Don't Copy that Floppy, Part Deux

I saw this video on Techdirt recently and I had a good laugh.I was not in the US when "don't copy that floppy" was around as an ad, but I do remember similar efforts in European (specifically Greek) computer magazines of the time. If I can find a magazine from that time period I will try to make a scanned copy of the ad (no pun intended).As Techdirt says:The "chorus" of the song claims that copying

Never used the PC-card slot...

Well here's a random, I just realized that in the many years that I've had my PowerBook I have never once used the PC-card slot.Well,... OK, I used it once! I plugged in a network adapter to see how it worked! At that point I had my PowerBook for four years and I was curious about the slot.So how did this random thought come about? I was thinking about the demise of the Express Card slot on the MacBook

People install the darnest things!

One day as I was logging out of my Google Reader, I saw this popular item starting me in the face on download squad. I don;t subscribe to the download squad since that would be overload for me - I'd have to declare RSS bankruptcy on a daily basis :-)Anyway, I had a good chuckle at this article because I have seen the effects of this time and time again. You download an installer for some application

Wolfenstein is back

...well it never left, but anyway ;-)I came across this promotional Wolfenstein web motion comic - whose animated style reminds me of SIn City - a week or so ago. As someone who played the original Wolfenstein on a 386 running Windows 3.1, I found the comic adaptation of the game pretty interesting. Now I never played Escape from Castle Wolfenstein (or any subsequent games) because I was either on

Χρειάζομαι ή δεν χρειάζομαι laptop τελικά;

Την τελευταία εβδομάδα με έχε βάλει σε σκέψη όλο αυτό το θέμα laptop, αφού έχει χαλάσει το PowerBook μου. Από την μια ως geek θέλω έναν καινούργιο MacBook Pro, πως να το κάνουμε;Από την άλλη όμως είναι το θέμα οικονομίας, και το θέμα bang-for-the-buck
