Flash back to the 90′s

One thing that has been really annoying me lately is the sheer amount of ads on websites that use flash animations. Seriously, it makes websites look like they’re from the 90′s with the amount of animating crap on them. Several sites that I visit often have decided to place 4 (some sites more) ad spots [...]
Full StoryA Chance Misleading
One thing that has really been bugging me lately is the use of “increased chances” or similar phrases. This has to be one of the most misleading phrases ever known, the thing is, people still believe every bit of it.
Full StoryThe Logo
A lot of people have asked me what the logo on this site means. I personally thought the audience of this site would be geeky enough to at least recognise the characters in some way, but alas, no.
Full StoryThe Multitask Mess
Over the past few days, quite a few media outlets have said that Windows Phone 7 will not have multitasking support. Of course, that’s not true at all. I downloaded the SDK for the new operating system and decided to see for myself.
Full StoryThe Canned Response
There’s one thing that really annoys me when it comes to companies that provide email based support. It’s known as the Canned Response. When the company doesn’t even read your message properly and just sends back a prewritten response that has absolutely nothing to do with the issue.

Full StoryCentrafuse 3.0
As many of you would already know, I have a computer in my car. The interface I use regularly is called Centrafuse, and they recently released version 3.0. So far, the biggest problem I’ve had with it was actually getting the download. I got really annoyed when the server reset the connection for my download [...]
Full StoryAustralian Price Gouging
One thing that has really been annoying me lately is companies that think it’s OK to artificially inflate prices of products here in Australia. There are a lot of companies doing this and it really needs to stop. With the Internet, more and more people are looking overseas for cheaper prices. More often than not, [...]
Full StoryBlaqua iPhone Theme
As some of you may already know, I have made a new theme for the iPhone called “blaqua”. I decided to make this just because I wanted a completely different look on my iPhone. There are very detailed instructions included with the package on how to install it. Have fun, and remember, I would love [...]
