Alright my minions, I know that I’ve abandoned you for a long time, but with the feds kicking down the doors at Megavideo I felt like my loyal empire needed my help once again. And so I introduce you to Videolister . This site is as extensive as megavideo with an interface akin to Icefilms. Pretty much everything that IceFilms lost when Megaupload went down can be found on Videolister via their sources. Each video has dozens of source links, so your chances of not being able to find one is... Read Full Story

As my followers may have noticed the site has not been updated in quite some time. The reasons for that are many and varied but primarily it’s because nothing particularly noteworthy has been happening on the technology front for me that has any kind of general applicability to the world at large. The secondary reasons are all related to the amount of time I’ve been spending on other pursuits. However, I believe the time has come to resurrect the Tech Empire with a slightly new direction...

So Apple has decided in a fit of pique that its users have TOO MUCH freedom. That’s right, your ability to remove the screws and open up that iPhone is just not acceptable. So they’ve gone and replaced the normal screws with Pentalobular screws in their new devices, and what’s more if you take your current device in for repair they will stealthily swap out THOSE screws as well ! What can you do about it you ask? Well let me just tell you…. Read Full Story

One of my favorite network discovery tools Look@LAN underwent a massive recreation last year and morphed from an extremely slick GUI tool into an equally slick but slightly less user friendly CLI tool named FING . Some nice new features of FING are multi-OS support now including Linux, and MacOS. It’s a heck of a lot FASTER than Look@LAN, which is nice when you’re in a hurry, and it’s a lot better about picking up MAC addresses. If you’re anti CLI and just HAVE to have a GUI there’s one in...

As has been noticed in several places the new Windows Phone 7 has a crippling extra feature. It calls home to the tune of about 50 megabytes of data usage PER DAY. On a data plan with a 2 gigabyte cap this is causing a lot of people some extreme overages on their bill. Putting the phone into airplane mode doesn’t seem to help since as soon as it gets back on the network it does one MASSIVE data transfer equal to the amount that it missed while disabled.

Over the last few days I’ve been witness to one of the most interesting online battles in recent memory. Editors at the popular online encyclopedia Wikipedia submitted the article on Bullshido.net for deletion. Of course several of the moderators from Bullshido arrived to defend their entry and all hell broke loose.
The entire argument against the existence of the Bullshido entry appears to have hinged upon the Wikipedia definition of Notability which reads thusly: Read Full Story

As regular readers will be aware my favorite CCG is Geek Fight from Diving Dragon Games . They’ve been busily churning out new sets and new cards since my last update and yet another new set is on the horizon. The rules have undergone some refinements and the entire game has grown and developed in some fantastic ways. If any of my readers are CCG fans I highly recommend ordering a set of Geek Fight cards, they are dirt cheap and the quality of the cards and the artwork is outstanding.
