Hiatus over!

The unexpected hiatus from updata-tech is now over and I will be back to giving you concise and to the point updates about everything new in the world of technology while bored at work!

For those of you interested - I've been busy dealing with my car which blew transmission and punctured the engine since Sunday night. Rest in peace Sentra.

Now, back to regularly scheduled programming.

OMG has finally made it to the dictionary.

Old linguists are rolling in their graves.

l0lz of the day.

Thank you Cyanide & Happiness.

Windows 8 file management upgrade.

You know when you're transferring that file and Windows always starts by saying "23 hours estimated time" even though it's a single word document...then you realize the time the computer wastes calculating that erroneous value took longer than what the processor would have taken to transfer the file in the first place?

BREAKING - Steve Jobs resigns from Apple.

WOW - it has been confirmed. Indicated by the 5% stock drop of Apple.

Talking to computers.

Screw people! I rather take to robots!

Jamming signals from cyber attacks on pacemakers.

The perfect crime - many don't believe it possible. Certainly no one willing to live in fear would. Hacking medical devices does, however, make me nervous.

People rejoice in cubicles around the world! And tell your boss that hours on eBay and wikipedia are apart of making you work more efficiently...

Piracy surge from Hulu delay.

Torrent Freak stated today that the statistics are staggering for piracy since Fox decided to pull the focus of their programming to live events.

How to go viral.

Just follow the three A's: Awe, anxiety, and anger. (I guess that's technically 4 A's.)

Lulz of the Day.

Thank you Cyanide and Happiness.

Apple creates life-altering new device.

This is embarrassing.

Google delivers 97% of mobile searches.

Keep telling yourself Google isn't taking over the world.

How Apple put the stranglehold on the mobile device market.

Why is it that Apple has been able to dominate with the release of new iPhones and iPads over the past 5 years or so...

Are their products that much more superior?

Daily lolz (but seriously New Life Goal)

I will do everything I can to get into the...

Pokemon World Championships.

I was born for this!

I guess this can also count as lolz of the day.

10 Costly Cyber Attacks.

Businesspundit gathered a list of the 10 most costly cyber attacks in history. Pretty shocking that this damage was done over the Internet.

Rank my Hack.

A new way to stroke the egos of hackers around the world has just been discovered. If they had something to prove before - I can't imagine their newfound determination to "up" their rankings on this newly created hacker website.

For those of you who already use Digg - this is a pretty neat way to discover new content online. For those who don't use Digg - I ask if you even own a computer.

Daily l0lz.

How does this work!?!?

WTF!? Of the Day.

Hamburger University.

Students love technology.

It's no surprise to find out the younger generation, on the cusp of learning, stays up to date with recent technology updates (hence why I probably get so many people from Facebook checking out my blog).

Digitizing your entire movie collection.

I ran across a very interesting article today outlining the best ways to having your entire movie collection on the go. As we all know, the DVD is dead.

Your daily lolz.

I'm not sure why these are so funny. But they sure made me laugh.

200k lawsuits issued in the United States for illegal media downloads.

The MPAA and RIAA are at it again trying to crackdown on illegal file sharing. Torrent Freak stated that that approximately 200,000 users have been slapped since last year.

Hacking water meters.

Forget hacking hacking medical devices. These days even water can be hacked - well at least the way it's used can be...

Defcon opens the floodgates to...children?

Is there really an "ethical" hacking? An even better question - can children under the age of 16 really understand the difference? Hacking, unknown to many, can cause severe damage and millions of dollars of revenue lost for conglomerates around the world as the internet has no boundaries. Don't believe me - Google "Mafia Boy".

Evolution of the Nintendo Controller.

Amidst the panic of economic meltdown, an infographic on Freepostia was released today showing some pretty lolz historical controller facts.

The Daily Lulz.

Cheer up - Monday mornings aren't that bad.

30-metre LED to be showcased.

Imagine playing Xbox or PS3 OR even watching a brand new blu-ray on a 30-metre LED screen. Some lucky few I'n Hungary will get that opportunity - although they will be limited to "Rocket Bullet Storm".

Hacking Medical Devices.

Insulin pumps, pacemakers, defibrillators...the list goes on. A new study shows how hacktivists can do much more than take down a Sony website.

Lawlz of the Day.

5 things I can't believe websites are still doing.

This has to be read in it's entirety.

Google Realtime Search Revival!

When large global events happen - the internetz is great for spreading the news quickly. Sometimes I'll read a headline on Facebook before I see an actual credible news source report. Google Realtime Search is a valuable way to capture status updates and tweets and allow social networking to do the legwork when releasing new and exciting information. Until recently, google had abandoned the feature - it's now back.

TGIF Dealzzz.

If you're looking for that brand new laptop this weekend or some good hardware to upgrade your rig, these Friday deals are sure to make your weekend hurt your wallet slightly less.

Building a PC - Made easy.

As a recent graduate, i.e. barely a human being yet, I have little to no operating free cash flow to divulge into a new PC. It hasn't stopped me from researching, however. I've spent countless hours choosing my components and looking through reviews to understand what the best system for my price range would be - my girlfriend could tell you all about it.

The Lambo of TVs is back...

You better believe there isn't a price tag in existence that will keep hardcore techs away from these beauties.

Those who own the discontinued plasma Kuro model TVs almost regard their home theater as collectibles over entertainment units. The blackest blacks, the whitest whites, and the clearest picture you would ever see is far from an over-exaggeration with this technology.

Dental hygiene vs. iPhone.

An alarming amount of iPhone users have stated they would rather give up brushing their teeth than not have their device as reported by The Unofficial Apple Weblog. Does that reflect on the success of the device or does it say something more about Apple fanboys (something not so nice).

iPhone wireless charging patent filed.

Sure, it would be great to not have to plug in an iPhone when charging. I know of tons of gadgets involving specialized cases with inductive charging pads. But what is this new patent filed by Apple? And will it hurt me?

Fastest growing website ever?

It took Facebook 3 years to do it and Twitter about 30 months. Google+ has hit 25 million users in record breaking fashion.

Lolz of the Day.

Pure Genius.

RIM announces 5 new blackberry models.

This got investors excited as RIM saw a huge jump in stock prices yesterday afternoon.








The Blackberry 7 OS will be available in 5 new blackberry models as reported by RIM themselves in an interesting press release yesterday morning.

Facebook to get a dislike button?

Here we go again,

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Facebook is looking to update the way the news feed is displayed. Facebook has a nasty habit of fixing what's not broke and frustrating already loyal users.

Layout Updates!

Internetz,

The layout will be changing quite a bit over the next little while and I will certainly accept all criticisms and comments.

Thanks to all for reading and be sure to subscribe and share and work in those brand new links. 

Can you really delete public information?

Ever tried to delete that twitter account or cancel that facebook profile because you're spending all day at work or in class looking up people you haven't seen since the 6th grade? Most people believe it's pretty easy and that once you throw that information you've shared into the hypothetical cyber recycling bin. (Why is all data recyclable? I may consider some 0s and 1s out there to be trash. I'll e-mail Microsoft this afternoon about changing the name "recycling bin".) You may want to think twice about public sharing as it is about infinitely easier to share than it is to "unshare".

Deleted social networking pages doesn't necessarily mean they're gone. Discovery News posted an interesting article tackling online privacy laws. Remember that site "Friendster" - the one which inspired Mark Zuckerberg to create Facebook? Yeah it sucks to be them. However, in this day and age having a following or group of users might as well be cash in your pocket. All those who "deleted" their Friendster account were treated to a exclusive VIP tour into a new rebranded entertainment-oriented site complements of the failed social network group. Friendster simply rolled over that information from previous users of the site using contact info like an e-mail account to send out invites. And yes - it's legal. It's called recyclable data and many social websites claim the information as their own every time you hit that post or tweet button.

Why can't people just get trashed?

The only caption missing is the Engineer: "Every night when I go to sleep there's a certainty I WILL fix a problem when I wake up."

Nintendo 3DS Price Drop.

Those of you thinking of buying that glass-less, shiny new Nintendo 3DS may want to wait. Nintendo has announced they will be dropping the price to about $US 169.99. (A $US 80 price drop off).



While this may be good for children and nostalgic grown men around the world, unless sales start to pick up, we may see handheld devices from Nintendo drop off the market. New tablet devices and smartphones have become the premier gaming platform on the go.

A revolutionary 3D gaming experience was not enough to push people toward single purpose gaming gadgets like the 3DS.

As a side note, those of you who have already purchased a 3DS. Nintendo is offering a plethora (about 20) free game downloads from their e-store.

And for anyone still on the fence about the ~$US 170 price tag - consider this statement mentioned in thr announcement.

Building on the popularity of The Legend of Zelda™: Ocarina of Time™ 3D, which launched June 19, the upcoming game calendar for Nintendo 3DS is a Who's Who of iconic video game franchises. Star Fox 64™ 3D arrives on Sept. 9, followed by Super Mario™ 3D Land in November, Mario Kart™ 7 in December and Kid Icarus™: Uprising during the holiday season.

Figuring things out.

It's definitely been a while since I've done any HTML.

Blogger has a great GUI and is really helping me out. However, connecting to facebook and getting those posts to look exactly how I want them to is becoming a bit of a challenge.

I'm looking to add tabs to the blog with current hot topics in the tech world and have a subscriber button as to make it easy for anyone to follow me.

I'll keep you posted!

Communications made easy.

iPhone 5 Rumor Roundup.

Gmail Expands Call Functionality.

Did you ever think you could call someone in France for less than the cost of a traditional letter? That's exactly what Google is touting as they have increased their caller service to include 38 languages and accept 4 different currencies. Check out the video posted for more info...

With the added ability for video chat and long distance phone calls at extremely cheap prices - I believe days are numbered for Skype and other video sharing clients. (Not to mention Facetime chat between Apple devices and video integration in facebook.)

One step closer to communicating better without the need for deoderant.
