Pink — not always the best choice of color
Apparently the color pink is not a great choice when it comes to usb flash drives, at least accordingly to what I spotted a few days ago on amazon. Pictures above speak pretty much for themselves — same identical flash drive — the one in pink discounted over 60% the MSRP. No discount for the […]
Previously Viewed DVDs won’t be around for long…
Some sad news hit my mailbox a few days ago from Netflix. Apparently they decided to discontinue their “Previously Viewed DVDs” program, for rather foggy reasons. Too bad cause it’s a great way to get super recent DVDs at prices as low as $5.99 — and I must say I got quite a few movies […]
4GB on a Mac Mini? Better than expected outcome
Recently got myself a mac mini, with 1 GB of RAM — figured to save $100 on the 2GB apple option, and instead go for 4GB at $60. I know seems nonsense how come one additional gig is $100, and 4 gigs are $60? Well that’s the strange math of the DIY world. 4 gigs […]
Saving… on the box
Looks like Dell recently decided to save on shipping charges, by cutting down on packaging. More than cutting down… by eliminating the packaging in its whole. Too bad cause the mini9 box is actually rather nice, but with packing slip on the back and shipping label on the front there’s not much surface left to […]
forgetting the start menu with launchy
Just a quick blurb here about a little tool that recently entered my “never leave home without” folder: Launchy — a free, “lookup” sort of application which will index any directory of choice (by default the start menu one) and bring up a list of matching keywords as you go typing the name of the […]
How can I take off this huge blue thing in Skype 4?
Well more than an how-to, this is a request for an how-to, assuming someone figured it out, and/or it’s even possible. In a nutshell — I haven’t upgraded to Skype4 yet. Because of the annoying (and useless) huge window that the skype main screen has become 🙁 There is a workaround out there, with a […]
Death Race — pretty good action flick
Saw it over the past Labor Day weekend — if you’re into action movies this is one worth watching in theaters. Explosions galore, running, chasing, shooting, complemented by good acting and a decently developed plot make for a rather appealing mix. On a 1 – 5 scale, I’d give it a 4+
Artifact from the Olympics
Spotted this rather original usb stick through one of the various promo messages. Probably something you can easily live without, unless looking for some unique memorabilia of the recent summer Olympics. I don’t think anyone else aside from Kingston thought about tying the games with a portable flash memory. On amazon at 29.95
Sign of the times
The yogurt cups I often get at the local Safeway recently shrunk down in size — although price didn’t shrink. On the positive side though, now instead of 100 calories of fat-free yogurt per serving, I only get 80 😉
How to save time and get things done with Firefox — Part 1
Since I recently switched to Firefox I’m going to write-up a few short articles about my experience so far, and how I got it to become a great time saving and getting-things-done tool. Just a little heads up here before we start — I don’t make any guarantee that by reading and/or implementing what here […]
