That Was Fun, Done With The Lenovo Carbon X1, Back to GSD!

By Adron Hall on October 22, 2013

Tech Quiz: What’s the Magic Fly Doing?

By Zoli Erdos on August 26, 2013

I’ve never thought one day I’d be running a quiz here.. but it just happened and was weird enough that I could not resist. One moment I was happily reading in Chrome – the next my computer froze.  At the same time I noticed a fly on my screen. Strangely enough, the cursor moved to […]

Banning the Phablet… with the Samsung ATIV with Keyboard.

By Adron Hall on July 9, 2013

Ok, in the end, let’s just call these things tablets. I know there is the attempt to call these phablets, but that’s so freakin’ stupid. They’re called tablets Microsoft. Just go with the flow. Here’s an unboxing, initial application viewing & a bit more via video. I’ve broken this review into three sections; A Video […]

More Proof That Shadow IT is a Growing Issue

More Proof That Shadow IT is a Growing Issue

By Ben Kepes on January 31, 2013

When talking with organizations about how the cloud can help them, I’m often told that cloud has no place in their organization and they’re not using it in any way, shape or form. They also point to the perceived security risks that cloud brings as their #1 reason for not using any flavor of cloud. […]

Thor Project Opens Up, Building the Cloud Foundry Ecosystem with the Community

By Adron Hall on September 17, 2012

The Iron Foundry Team are big advocates of open source software. We write code across all sorts of languages, just like many of the development shops out there do. Sometimes we’re heavy on the .NET, other times we’re all up in some Java, Ruby on Rails, spooling up a Node.js Application or something else. So …

OS-X, Top 2 Gripes

By Adron Hall on September 18, 2011

I’ve been developing in my spare time on Mac OS-X using Rubymine, Webstorm, TextMate, XCode, and several other apps. I’ve also been using Kindle (the native app and the HTML5 Version), Tweetdeck, and a host of other applications. A bulk of things I’ve also been using, however they’re almost entirely in Chrome/HTML5 or some web […]

Happy Birthday, Personal Computer. Rest in Peace.

By Zoli Erdos on August 2, 2011

Business Insider reminds us that today is the 30th birthday of the original IBM PC: the computer’s brain was a 4.77Mhz Intel 8088 processor (for my younger readers, it’s Mega not Giga) and it had a grand total of 256K RAM (again, it’s not 256 GB, not even MB, but Kilobytes).  Yet it was a […]

Conspiracy Theory: the Vista-ization of Windows 7 has Started…

By Zoli Erdos on May 4, 2011

Three years ago I wrote: Windows Seven in 2010. Does Anyone Still Care? I simply don’t get it: Vista is barely out, nobody seems to like it, CIO’s refuse to upgrade, analyst firms tell them to wait, individual users who tried it switch back to XP, others time their new PC purchase so they can […]

By Zoli Erdos on October 22, 2010

I love my iPad.  I hate my iPad.  Was preparing to dump it for the Samsung Galaxy Tab, until it turned out to be a 7”-er now.  Size matters, after all (or is it just my eyes?). So I got momentarily excited reading about the HP Slate 500 but that was a short moment. The […]
