When you think of Nintendo, you think Mario, Pokemon, Metroid. When you think of Sega, you think Sonic. When you think of Marvel, you think Iron Man, Spider-Man, The Hulk. When you think of DC Comics, you think of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman. These are all intellectual properties protected under a law statute known as […]
A SpaceX Falcon 9 Booster exploded on the pad at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Launch Complex 40 today, minutes before a standard test of the first stage engines in anticipation of a scheduled launch on Saturday, September 3rd. Of course, this explosion destroyed the booster vehicle and the payload, the AMOS-6 satellite which was […]
Alright, here we go with the September Games with Gold lineup! This time we’re looking at one new release and one more recent release on the Xbox One, and on the Xbox 360 side, and early classic and a more modern racing powerhouse round out the mix. Xbox One Earthlock- Festival of Magic: Earthlock is […]
Do you speak Korean and English, and are you willing to translate a set of song lyrics and obscure news and media websites for an upcoming Xadara project? If so, then I need you! I’m looking for someone who fits the above to assist in the creation of a website that will encompass a specific […]
For the past couple of weeks now, I haven’t been posting nearly as much as I have wanted to, and while I have cranked out a few YouTube videos, there has been a noticeable decrease in content being created by me on a whole. As part of my transparency to my readers, and for the […]
I’ve written before about how I have somehow got interested in collecting HD-DVD format films. They are a cheap way to get a high quality film experience that, while not as good as modern Blu-Ray, is still better than a standard DVD. It is, however, a dead format, and has been since 2008. All the […]
As is common post launch, United Launch Alliance has published a video compiling highlights and best views of the launch of AFSPC-6 on its Delta IV rocket. As is equally common for me, I present this video here for those of you who enjoy such, and don’t feel like sitting through the entire launch video […]
At 12:47 AM Eastern Daylight Time this morning, August 19th, a Delta IV booster carrying the twin AFSPC-6 satellites successfully lifted off from Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. These satellites are, as best i can tell, intended to monitor on orbit activities of other satellites and the like for the benefit […]
Coming up tonight, or early tomorrow morning I should say, will be the launch of a Delta IV rocket carrying a pair of “Space Situational Awareness Program” satellites into a near geosynchronous orbit. Like most military payloads, these satellites are a bit of a mystery, but from what I can gather they will provide a […]
These days, if you want to watch a TV show, or a movie, or heck, even play a game, you can pretty much do it on any device you wish. Your computer, game console, phone, and even sometimes directly your TV itself can access YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, and other services for immediate streaming of videos. […]
Last week I introduced you to the concept of the tech support scam. I only scratched the surface in that article, hitting on some of the absolute most common tactics used by support scammers. Today, I felt it good to share a video of these guys in action. Enter Carey Holzman, a computer tech with […]
We had another successful SpaceX launch this morning. In fact, as I begin typing this, the second stage and the payload, JCSAT-16, have yet to leave their parking orbit – we are still about 5 minutes away from the second engine burn that will put the satellite on course for a geostationary orbit! This launch, […]
This film, produced in 1981, follows the first flight of the Space Shuttle Columbia on STS-1, April 12th to 14th of 1981. The video tells the general story of the 4 day mission, while also going over details on the general operations of the then new Space Shuttle. One of the best things about this […]
Do any of you out there remember HD-DVD? Back in 2006, it stood against Blu-Ray in a battle for the high definition optical media standard, and in 2008 it lost when, after many retailers and film publishers backed out, Toshiba, the main company behind the format, finally gave up and ended production of players, leaving […]
Over the past 25 years, no item on the tech sphere has become as ubiquitous as the personal computer. Be it a Windows based machine, a Mac, or in the rare case of the tech savvy user, a Linux machine, virtually everyone owns at least one traditional machine. Sadly, much like smart phones and tablets, […]
