Apple has removed the video player VLC from it’s App Store, so if you don’t already have it installed on your iPad or iPhone you’re out of luck. Before you decided to send hate mail to Steve Jobs, you should know that Apple didn’t want to remove it. Rather, it’s a result of a single [...]
Open Source HTPC’s That Don’t Suck
In our next installment of Distros That Don’t Suck we will be looking at open source HTPC software. Sure you can load up VLC or even use Windows Media player, but having a dedicated solution with a UI that is made for a TV is a lot easier and pleasing. I’ve left the PVR-centric software [...]

Skype Video On Your iPhone
Sure you have facetime on your iPhone, but wouldn’t it be cool to have video support for Skype on your iPhone? After all, there are only 6 facetime users in the world and billion of Skype users. Seems that a document that was released a bit too early points to Skype’s CES announcement as being [...]

IR Jammer
We have talked about the awesome TV-B-Gone device before, you know, the device that can turn off any TV within distance. The only downside to it is that all people have to do it turn then back on. I know that you can just turn them back off but that would just be suspicious. What [...]

A Cell Phone For Grama
With the massive amount of multi-function “smart” phones out there people tend to loose the focus of what cell phones actually are; phones. My mother couldn’t care less if her phone plays mp3′s or if it’s got a twitter client. All she wants is a phone and a super easy one to boot. As she [...]

Gemei X760+ Portable 8 Bit Gaming
I grew up playing 8 bit games. Gaming systems like the NES and good old fashion arcade games really allowed you to separate the men from the boys, not these fancy games the kids now-a-days have. When I stumbled across the Gemei X760+ I was elated and over joyed. Come on now, it starts with [...]
Pure Gold PC
We have featured many things that would explain why people with tons of money are really stupid. But it seems that every time I stumble across some new over priced useless piece of technology it beats the last. Take this solid gold (yes solid, not plated) PC.
