Have you seen it yet? I’m talking about one of the coolest things to hit the gaming seen since mutha friggin’ Frogger! Okay, so maybe Frogger wasn’t that cool, but this thing is. I am talking about the new hotness that Microsoft laid down at the recent E3 Expo in Los Angeles. This is a new way to play games on the XBox 360, and that new way is without a remote. Actually, YOU are the controller to be more precise. The Nintendo WII has nothing on this sucker. Many people liked the WII because... Read Full Story

I was watching IPTV shows on my Tivo again this weekend, when I came across episode 91 of Tekzilla, and they mentioned their free software pick of the week. This week they chose a free web capture software that is pretty robust, is easy to use, and is absolutely free.Normally for screen capture in Windows I would use Camstudio which works pretty good, but I could never for the life of me get the audio to work. Also, I have found it to be rather flakey at times.Good news for me that I watch Te... Read Full Story

I am rather writing this out of frustration more than anything. I have been trying to find a viable alternative to Windows Live Writer for Linux. I know that I mentioned Scribefire a few months ago, but ever since my buddy Sundance convinced me to make the switch to Windows Live Writer (WLW) it has been hard to go back.There are many desktop blog editors for Linux, just none as good as WLW. I've tried Drivel and Gnome-Blog, both are basically glorified text editors. BloGTK showed some pro... Read Full Story

I am a cheap bastard. You guys all know that! That is why I have been using my crappy little Kodak Easy Share camera to film all of the Bauer-Power videos. Since I have been getting a lot of complaints on the quality of the videos, I decided I should get a better camera.I was thinking about saving up about $500-$600 to purchase a Canon HV20 HD camera, but then I thought better of it. Besides the awesome video quality, the HV20 comes with a mic jack. The only problem is that my Bauer-Power vid... Read Full Story

This post is going to be relatively small and quick, but I thought I would put it out there because I had the damnedest time getting the Global Address list in Evolution to work in Ubuntu 9.04.First off let me say that I hate Evolution. I don't use it on my Linux machines at home at all! If only someone would make a good OWA plugin for Thunderbird, then things would be better! Until then, Evolution is the only Exchange game for 'nix systems in town.So back to my problem. I could not a... Read Full Story

I just saw a pretty cool retweet on Twitter from @digininja talking about a free Microsoft Technet subscription! Gee, do I want cool free exclusive downloads, IT news, and updates about the haps at Microsoft? Umm... Yes please!Of course, this is available only to U.S., U.K., and Canadian Residents, so sorry to you other international Bauer-Power readers. Microsoft is basically saying you can go pound sand. Don't worry though, there will always be a special place for you in my heart ;-PFor... Read Full Story

I usually wouldn't write something like this. I mean, everyone know how to do a dual-boot setup right? I thought this setup would be just as simple. I mean I've done dual-boot installs hundreds of times, why would this one be any different?I don't know about your system, but when I tried to dual-boot my Dell Mini 9 with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.04 I had some problems. You see, I always start with the Windows Install first, then install Linux last so Grub can take over as the bootloa... Read Full Story

I have been searching, and searching for a long time to find a good, reliable video editor for Linux. I needed one that was easy to use like Windows Movie Maker, and just as intuitive. I believe I have found a good candidate.I just started playing with it today, but so far I have to say this one is very intuitive, and have a very easy to use interface. It is called Open Movie Editor. Currently it is only available to Linux operating systems, so you Windows and Mac users can just suck it I gue... Read Full Story
