I’ve been using isohunt.com for a few years, but here are some other torrent sites that are on the current “hot list.” Thanks to torrentfreak for the list. In loving memory of Mininova… [ READ MORE ]
How bad do you have to mess up in the battery management department to be able to release a firmware update that increases battery life by up to 85%? 85%! That’s a shit ton of extra battery life! You mean that for the first few months I had the kindle 2 I was getting battery-life raped? This [ READ MORE ]
Windows 7 is doing well as an upgrade to Windows Vista users. Looks like I’m on the right side of the fence!

Despite the eight years that have passed since XP’s release, they expressed little urgency to upgrade to Windows 7. I noticed that the companies they [ READ MORE ]
