Goodbye Psystar, I never knew you..



By Teejay Valerio (Dec 3, 2009)

I've had MacOS 10 running on my of my partitions on one of my desktops for just about a year now. Is it impressive? Could be. Is it a life changer? Meh. To tell you the truth, I haven't really felt the need to consistently run the 'highly touted' Apple OS on a daily basis. What does the 'Empire' have to say about people like myself who run their software on Mac Clones? Read on for today's morning tidbit about the Apple and Psystar fight.

A Decade of Entertainment



By Teejay Valerio (Dec 2, 2009)

Here's an interesting article that I came across while browsing stuff this morning. You can find it here.
It talks about the evolution of entertainment for the last decade. Most of the content is contained in the comments. I just found it very intriguing to see just how far we've come in the span of 10 years. I still remember back to the beginning of this decade and what kind of computers I was building then, compared to the systems that I'm building now. More than just the hardware that I used, the physical process of building a system has changed so much (yet stayed so much the same in other ways). Not to mention that nowadays anyone and everyone (and their little dog too!) can build a system with ease, although cheaper retail computer systems pretty much negate the need and/or want to.

But I ramble on...anyways, take a bit of time today to have a gander at the content contained therein. I trust you'll find at least some of it interesting.

Back in the day, we used to read our books on paper!



by Teejay Valerio

I haven't jumped into the E-book trend yet (how shocking!), but I sure am tempted. With the release of the Barnes and Noble 'Nook', Amazon's Canadian Kindle, and Sony's stalwart E-Book reader, my options for an electronic reading device are more than ever before! Since I don't actually own any of these e-readers (yet...), I thought I might try to convince myself into buying one. Can I come up with a good reason or two? Read more after the break.

Weekend Gaming Thoughts: MMMMORPG's, Answering the Call and Making Time (Part 1)



By Teejay Valerio


It's not hard to deny: Gaming is a HUGE part of my life. Whether i'm cutting a swath through hordes of undead, dropping terrorists with a single bullet (or taking a bullet myself), or hitting the game-winning shot at the final buzzer, it can't be denied: I spend a lot of time gaming. This weekend I'll share some of my thoughts on the state of MMO's, record-breaking new releases and how to allocate my precious gaming time to the multitude of titles on the market. Cuz, we all know; "Time is money friend!". Read more after the break.

The White Space Fight


By Teejay Valerio


 Coming soon to a future near you! The FCC wants to push it, Teejay wants it too! Canada will catch up someday to these current technologies. For now, all us Canadians can do is to drool while our neighbours down south play with these newfangled gadgets. White Space Technology. How lovely. More after the break!

Daily Rotations



By Teejay Valerio

Yeah, Audible is awesome, it's just that the typical audiobook is like 8-17 hours in length. I can finish a book of equivalent length in like 4 hours, so I feel that it's a waste of time sometimes. Although the narrator really adds a new element to the stories sometimes.

(/shamless plug)Google Chrome has been my choice of browser for almost a year now (Dec 2008 to be precise). Everytime I open it up, it never fails to remind me of my most frequently visited pages. I know that Safari can also do this, but I just find that Chrome has a more spartan feel to it. But hey, this article isn't about Google Chrome, it focuses more on my daily rotational habit on the net. The rest of the story after the jump.

Why the World Ends in 2012




By Teejay Valerio

Does Hollywood have it right? It's probably pretty pathetic to think that how the world ends is how John Cusack's latest film portrays it to be. Teejay though has a different view on how and why it could be. Sarcastic? Check. Humorous? You be the judge! Read more after the break for the full summary.
