I had a request asked of me the other day that confused me for a bit. Someone wanted me to email directions to someone else. Two thoughts came to my mind, the first of which was trying to determine at what point I was going to get around to doing that simple, little task. The second thought was why in the world did I need to be the one to complete the simple little task?

We’ve all heard the analogy of giving a man a fish or teaching him to fish. The same holds true for technology. I can keep doing …read more

I am reading this article where the author answers the question of what the user should do when his laptop screen breaks?

He says that when the user starts his computer and hears some mechanical sound, make sure you turn if off because it could be your hard disk destroying data. In case there is no sound, it is likely that the hard drive is good and the monitor is the only one affected. If you don’t see anything on the screen, try plugging the laptop to any monitor and see if it works.
This should work for the time being especially …read more

The question about the value of subscribing to the Internet came up again for me this weekend. The discussion wasn’t so much around what video is available on the Internet, but more on the devices available to help you ditch the cable box for something else.
Of course you can access the Internet from your laptop and then stream video to your TV using a variety of options, but I found out this weekend that there’s a potential option for using the Nintendo Wii to serve as your Internet video portal in your living room.
There’s an Internet channel that you can …read more
