I don’t know how long it’s been like this (can’t be too long), but the site’s been redressed. Check it out.
One word: o…k. I can dig the softer colors (a bit too subdued) but I really liked its organization better before. There’s just something about it that makes it feel much more cluttered.
What gets me [...]

Down like downtown. I’m gonna whip it so hard..
Oh, I’m sorry. Getting to topic, I got an e-mail in my seldom-used and yet always-messy Yahoo! inbox a couple days ago. Usually the “official” mails are spammy, but this one was interesting. Obviously because it was the official announcement that GeoCities is dying.
I used to use [...]

..for once I’m genuinely excited about it. Windows has not changed AT ALL since Windows 95, at least as far as design and aesthetic goes. Sure, we’ve went from gray squares to green globby rectangles to blue orbs, but it’s all the same concept, and not really a significant improvement from one iteration to the [...]

Probably waaaaay old news.. but I just found out that there’s a new Ubuntu project called Ubuntu MID Edition.
‘MID’ stand for ‘Mobile Internet Device’ and that should give away most of the functionality already. Essentially Ubuntu customized for the Internet and squeezed into a smaller space, it offers “full Internet, no compromise”.
It’s designed to be [...]

Well I just found it out like 3 seconds ago.
318 people donated
Some poor, brave soul lumped together $2,500..wow.
I’m glad to see they’re healthy again. Healthy as STD inflicted 4chan memehunting butt-sniffing /b/tards can be anyway. (How’d you like that? I don’t even know what I’m saying but I learned all about that from [...]

Warning: This is a rant, and I am a Linux fanboy, so.. yeah
So the big buzzword going around Microsoft’s offices these days, and the tech community in general, is “money hungry…err Mojave”. Ok, so maybe it’s a bit old but I just found out what it was today.
Mojave is Microsoft’s way of covering [...]

UPDATE: They’ve apparently reached their donation goal..I’m not sure how they’re working that stuff now. This post is a probably a bit outdated.
From an official ED sysop (DrunkenLazyBastard):
Hey folks, I’m an ED Sysop. I figured I’d give you the low down on what’s happening to set the record straight.
Our current problem with money arose from [...]

Run, don’t walk to your nearest ReactOS dealer. Fresh from the oven.
Ok so this release isn’t as enticing as 0.3.5, but hey it’s only been a month. Compare this now to 0.3.5, it had almost 2 months overdue of work done on it.
Changelog here
I will so be testing it later. Will report back.
Reporting back..
Well there’s [...]

Another interesting article on CNET News suggests that modern electronics are doing a greater disservice to our environment than coal has been. Not just in using them, but rather what they’re made from.
The article states that nitrogen triflouride, used in making LCDs and synthetic diamonds, is a “missing greenhouse gas”, and that it’s gone unnoticed [...]
