Upcoming Facebook Username Feature

Facebook’s continuous crusade to ‘improve’ their site has led them to come up with an obviously standard but unwise (given the site’s purpose) feature, which is to have Facebook Usernames in the URL. In other words, your profile will now have an address of facebook.com/firstname.lastname The catch? You can’t change the address once you set [...]

Looking for a Similar Site? Try SimilarSites!

This isn’t exactly a search engine but it’s a nifty tool when you’ve already found what you’re looking for (or something close) but want to check out other sites sporting the same information.

Play Without Controllers: Microsoft’s Project Natal

I was watching Microsoft’s E3 Press conference (yes Geek, rest your balls) and I was blown away at the possibilities of their new gadget even if the technology itself is not that new (but less refined). As an answer to Nintendo Wii’s motion sensing controller (which is brilliant, at least with what you can do [...]

I swear, I knew this would happen. Ever since Google released Chrome, my cousin and I wondered if Google would release an email client. “No,” he said, “they’d never want to destroy Thunderbird.” Indeed, they need not destroy Thunderbird, for Google as always is taking email to a new dimension.

I came home yesterday to find that my PC has expired. It endured, I think – I only turned it off when I left the country (a total of 3 weeks or so) in the past three years. I am surprised it lived that long! Incidentally my previous laptop has been continuously on for also [...]

Heavy Rain

Although it’s an old tech demo for a game (forget lip-syncing), I like it because it is atmospheric and draws you in for the few minutes of footage. Enjoy.

FileHippo Update Checker

If you’ve visited FileHippo recently then you’d notice they put up a neat little software which you can download… it would scan your PC (rather quickly) for any software you have that needs updating (stuff that is available on FileHippo anyway) and would open for you a neat page where you can pick and choose.

One Site Too Many

For the past years I have become quite the phenomenal internet whore (along with my cousin of course). I believe that there is not one site we have not been active in, enrolled in, or at least heard of. Two days ago I was going through my ever-growing bookmark list of social sites and by [...]
