I'm starting a new "series" called android 101. I'm writing these tutorials for the less techy people. I'm hoping to help people, to gain a better understanding, of what their smartphone can do. The first part of these will describe the user interface. No matter what flavor of android your using, or what skin is put on in, there are a few common elements. Every android has four buttons: home,

It really has been a while since I wrote anything here. It has been a very busy summer, with my new job and everything. But I will try to find some time to write stuff from now and then. I might post an iPhone 4 review soon(since it has been a huge "hit" this summer). I was waiting for the dust to settle first. And I might get one, somewhere along next month, then again I might change my mind...

A healthy PC is a faster PC. This guide will show you how to clean up your system properly so it will run faster, and therefore you can be more productive with it. 1) Open up Add/Remove programs from the Control Panel, and uninstall every program you don't use. Surely you don't need 5 different media players, or 3 document viewers, etc. 2) Clean up your desktop! Your desktop isn't your personal

Whoever lives in our beautiful country and uses Windows, has at least one(if not the whole system) pirated software. This is due to the fact that software is insanely expensive here. For example Windows 7 costs almost an average monthly salary, and this is the Home edition... Who would be willing to pay a monthly salary just to buy Windows? My point exactly! Now of course the Linux trolls will

Today there are tons of malware softwares out there. Malware are software that can damage your computer, and compromise your virtual identity, such as viruses, worms, trojans, spyware, etc. The first rule that I have to tell you is that, there isn't a 100% safe system. And because Windows has the most security holes, I'm going to present you a guide with which you can make your system more

The year is 2040. As every weekday I wake up at 6:30 AM to go to work. I grab a cup of tea, and sit down on the couch. I reach out and get the tablet, open up my favorite news sites. There are no more newspapers, since using paper for printing was banned three years ago. Today me and my wife, she is in the kitchen right now, are planning to go to the movies. I look up the schedule. - Hey baby

After weeks of whispers, Apple finally announced the iPad, the first tablet computer from Apple. Apple promises the best web browsing, photo sharing and email experience. And if experience thought us one thing, is that when Apple promises, Apple delivers! "You have the whole web page in the palm of your hand." This is the quote used by Steven Jobs Apple's CEO. And he wasn't kidding, you can

So Chrome 4 is here. I honestly think that this is the fastest browser around. Not to mention it has the biggest page display. So what does Chrome 4 bring thats new and visible to the average user? I've got two words for you: Extensions and Sync Bookmark. Missed the add-ons from Firefox? Well Chrome has extensions too from now on. I found two very useful: Downloads - let's you access your

A friend of mine needs/needed blood. 0 neg to be exact. I happen to know that my blood type matches hers(or at least very close), so I volunteered and gave her blood. I can tell you it was kind of unpleasant. They tied my hand, I hated the sensation of blood being tied off, I hated the needle in me, I hated that my hand got cold, and a little swollen. Here I took some pictures for you guys :)

Some videos are just spectacular. There are some not too old videos that caught my attention. They are very well done. Rihanna - Disturbia Like most contemporary lyrics, it has nothing very little to say. But if we take the lyrics literally then the video perfectly suits it. The video is full of visuals. Most of the images are quite disturbing. Nobody is normal, everybody is possessed,

Jake Sully: I see you. Neytiri: I see you. It has a meaning deeper than "I see you at a cup of coffee". It means I see into you, I see through you, I see YOU! If you haven't guessed already, I'm talking about James Cameron's latest movie: Avatar. That man is a genius! When I came out from the cinema I was like "hmm...it was kinda ok...", then a week passed... I realized I was thinking from the

Last week I went to see Avatar. Yes the movie which is getting all that hype right now. Let me fill you in with the story(I'll try to keep this as spoiler free as possible). Jake Sully an ex-marine is transported to Pandora, along with his brother who was killed before they left Earth. So Jake takes his brother's place as an avatar pilot(as I understood they were twins). Avatars are

Another season of the X Factor has ended. The winner Joe McElderry has the strongest male voice, however he's not the best performer in my opinion. But as the judge stated out several times, it's a singing competition(Lucie Jones...Simon there is a word for that stunt in my vocabulary, and it's hypocrite). I watched the entire season on youtube, that way I got only the stuff that mattered. Here's

Monday It was my first time on a plane, my first flight. All I can say that though flying makes me sleepy as hell, it was a fun experience, and it isn't scary at all(at least I wasn't scared. Here check it out: When we arrived at Fiumicino airport we took the train to Rome. The first thing that hit me was all the graffiti. Every train, every wall was bombarded. After we arrived at Termini

Monday me and my girlfriend are going to Rome! I'm so excited! Never really been anywhere abroad. This will be the second(third if we'll count Vatican) country that I visit. And we're going alone :-S. Don't get me wrong, I know we'll be fine, but still I feel like a drop of water in the ocean :D We'll make tons of photos, and when I'll get back I'm going to post a few of them. Until then we are

Yesterday I watched Assasin's Creed Lineage. Now I don't know for sure if this is a non-profit movie but it sure seems like it. This summer I saw The Hunt for Gollum. The Hunt for Gollum is a film made by fans for fans. If you saw the LOTR movies, you'll notice that it takes place before The Fellowship of the Ring. Acting, directing even special effect are way better than many low budget movies

This spring I had almost one and a half month windows free pc, then because of some technical dificulties switched back to windows. Two weeks ago, my cds with Ubuntu Karmic Koala came, I installed it the next day. Everything works, some things better than others. I'm pretty satisfied, however something is bugging me(getting that tingleing feeling again). There are no decent games in linux!!! Now

I haven't written anything in a while now. I had a pretty damn good reason. I got bored of this(lol I'm a freak). But I'm back again with some new things. I didn't really knew what I wanted to write about, but now I'm starting to get a tingeling feeling in my hands(I wanted to write anus but then you would all think I'm a jerk...oops I just wrote it).I discovered something great: it's called

As you might have noticed, linux users have been having trouble connecting to yahoo these past weeks. The reason is simple. Yahoo! made some protocol updates and the most popular linux clients pidgin and kopete have been using older protocol which stopped working. There have been numerous temporary fixes, until Pidgin 2.5.7 came out(current version is 2.5.8 so don't hesitate to upgrade). Today

Somewhere next week Query Manager 0.3 will be released. Some of the features of the new version will include creating and dropping tables. So far everything proposed on table creation works. I must say I'm pretty enthusiastic about this release. There are already 24 downloads on softpedia and 11 on java-apps.

His music reached all generations, and I bet there isn't one among us who don't like at least one of his songs. Many of us heard of Billy Jean, Beat it, Bad, Smooth Criminal, Black or White and of course Thriller. And what about his

I don't know if you are familiar with Ubuntu's worst marketing campaign ever. Well I heard of it for some time now. The slogan is "I do it with Ubuntu". At first look it isn't quite that bad.

It is an application which helps you to write MySQL queries. Everything started out as an end-term project for object oriented methods.
