The question I have wondered for years: Why do companies make mouses so loud?!

Have you ever been on the computer at some obscure hour and with every click you feel like you're either going to A: Wake someone up, B: Piss them off. Regardless of the reason, we accept the noise because it is such a precedent with all mice.

Well, not all. For example: The Magic Mouse.
Then there's the trackpad, which still never solved the problem on certain computers.

Don't even get me started with keyboards... Some modern keyboards are as loud as my Apple IIC.

You Can't Count on Anything These Days, including the people who made this commercial.

Fedex... Will they ever learn?

Another, newer video showing reliability

Congratulations to me!

I have made my first .50 cents! Wooo!

Websense thinks some sites don't have taste.

They think a website is tasteless? Just say Global Block! Why make another category for sites you dont like!

How bad was Vista? Let's find out.

Recently, someone gave me a pretty nice looking Dell Inspiron 530S to fix it's extremely slow setup.

I immediately realized you need a keyboard (See why) and that it takes 5 minutes to startup:


Besides that being extremely annoying, that's not much of a problem. Then I noticed the shutdown time, which should be a few seconds. Instead, I timed it to 8 minutes, 50 seconds!

After CCleaner, Malaware Bytes, Speed My PC, and updated hardware drivers and bios, I realized this computer needed much more then just that.

I backed everything up and did a fresh install of not Vista, but Windows 7. I myself am a linux and Mac addict but it was not my computer. Now, the computer runs at perfect speeds for it's amount of ram. I ordered RAM and it will be just like new, actually better!

A Squirrelly Life.

Watch as a local squirrel climbs across a snow covered power line, jump off and slip on a tree. Such a simple life.

The amount of sites who stalk you is increasingly scary...

If you use Google Chrome, which is the best browser in case you live in a hole, you can block all of these scary sites yearning for information on you:

Here is a perfect example: Gizmodo.com. Innocent right? I have seen up to 17 trackers. In this image, it only found 10.

Edit: Another site shows 30 trackers! 

In the extension's description, it shows an image with 21 trackers.

Dell BIOS Fail

Ok, so I don't have a keyboard at the moment, so what right? WRONG. Dell apparently thinks you need one at all times and there is no possible way that a computer could ever have a virtual keyboard or anything

Better yet, Dell decided to not have a timer on such problem but require you to press a key! Are you kidding me?

Nice one dell.

ZOMG White iPhone! I waited 5 Months! Wooo!

Dude. Seriously. The iPhone 5 is around the corner you racist idiot!

An Ubuntu error so crazy, you might think you're on Windows

I would expect to see something that looks similar to this on a Windows machine, not on my beloved Ubuntu Netbook.

The error that appeared when I plugged in my iPhone said:






"Unable to mount James' iPhone"

"DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)"

"Device 'James' iPhone' is password protected. Enter the password on the device and click 'Try again'."

Yes my iPhone has a password but this was a little over the top.
