I'm sure you've heard about RSS, but that doesn't mean you're one of the 10 % or so of people using it. This happens mainly because RSS is for people who know little more than your average Joe who uses a computer. That doesn't necessary means it's hard to understand and use, that's why I'll try in t
I’m now in one of those ‘imposed’ breaks at work, sitting in front of the computer with no Internet connection. It’s terrible, as I begin to understand how dependent on Internet we are now. Every piece of software need at some point an Internet connection and we use on a regular basis websit
The hard drive is one of the components of a PC that evolved much in terms of storage capacity in past years but advanced little to none in terms of raw performance. You can blame this to mechanical limitations, but everyone agrees there has to be a solution, and that's SSD (Solid State Drives) whic
Every webmaster out there is most interested in two things when it comes to his websites: it they're up and running and how much visitors are they getting.

I've tried Macs a few times, I've tried Linux but essentially I'm stucked with Windows since 1995. There are a lot of reasons for this, but first let's see why yesterday's experience with installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard on my desktop (Internet is full of such step by step guides) made me write this
I'm using computers starting 1994. I own mine in 1995 (31 december, what a day). I grew up with modern era computers (386 and 486 PC models) and I've realised, like many others, that technology doesn't evolve in balanced way. Today's microprocessors are a few thousand times more powerful than the on
Nokia N900 isn't a new product as it was announced a few weeks ago already, but recently the Internet started to get full with reviews of the pre production model of the N900, a cross between an Internet Tablet (old Nokia series) and a MID (Mobile Internet Device).

I was reading today news about San Francisco airport allowing passengers to buy their carbon footprint equivalent to the distance they're traveling. It seems a noble idea, as the money are then spent on projects meat to diminish carbon emissions. The idea of buying carbon footprint, carbon quota (if
