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 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 StoryThe DSL Debacle of 2010
I have recently moved house. Still within the same city, just to a different suburb. Of course, when you move house, you need to get services relocated with you. Most of these were easy to do. The internet, however, was not. I called up iiNet (my ISP) on the 3rd of February, told them that [...]
Full StoryLack of respect for fellow hackers
When I was first learning how to crack and patch apps, most of the people who I came across generally respected the skills of someone who can make a tool which makes their lives much easier. That is until I decided to release one of those tools. For the past few months on and off [...]

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 StorySygic vs TomTom, round 2 of the Navigation apps
A couple of weeks ago, I reviewed Navigon vs Sygic. Today, I decided to give the new heavyweight in the arena, TomTom, a good test. Seeing as though Sygic won the first round, I thought I’d pit it up against TomTom.
Full StoryIdiots on Youtube
Recently, someone released an obvious fake for a jailbreak on the new iPhone 3GS called the “ttys” exploit. This user was called iH8sn0w, the reason it was obviously fake was the fact that he used an SSH connection to his iPhone to actually apply the jailbreak. Anyone who knows anything about the iPhone knows that [...]
Full StoryMicrosoft finally woke up
Well, it looks like someone from Microsoft actually reads my blog. If you read the earlier post entitled Microsoft, you are retarded, you would see that I was extremely unhappy with Microsoft’s method of suspending users when they don’t want to pay for additional months of XBox Live Gold memberships. I just received an email [...]
