- Cisco unveils stylish Linksys E4200 dual-band 450Mbps router
Cisco’s latest assault on the high-end router market not only aims to impress with its speed, but also isn’t a device you will want to hide in a cupboard–it actually looks nice.
Usually routers are a boxy affair in a matte black, white or silver finish with lots of aerials sticking out of them. The Linksys […] - How Atari almost released its own home version of Unix years before Linux
In the millennium we’re sort of used to every device under the sun being able to run some variation of Linux, whether that’s the Sony PlayStation 3 or your mom’s digital photo frame, but back in 1985, the landscape was very different indeed… which is what makes this post by Landon Dyer over at Dadhacker […]

Guide: How to Raise Max Volume (Netbooks, Laptop, etc)
Last Updated on Wednesday, 19 January 2011 02:22 Written by DarkKnightH20 Wednesday, 19 January 2011 01:58
I like to watch movies and listen to music on my netbook computer — the ASUS EEEPC 1005HA-P with Windows XP. Often, external speakers are needed to get the volume loud enough since the speakers are so weak. Netbooks aren’t the only portable devices with this problem either. Laptops / Notebooks have it, as do some tablets / touch screen devices with built-in speakers. Regardless of the device, if you want to play a movie, TV show, song, etc. more loudly, then I recommend using a media player that lets you amplify the sound. I recommend Media Player Classic or VLC Player. Personally, I prefer MPC, as VLC doesn’t seem to play some as well (for me, anyway).

- Apple posts record revenue of $26.74 billion
As expected, Apple has released its first quarter results, and the figures are as good if not better than expected.
The financial results cover the fiscal first quarter of 2011 which ended on December 25th last year. Revenue was at an all time high with Apple’s highly popular devices and associated App Stores making up the […] - Moog OMG-1 Synthesizer crams in a Mac Mini, 2 iPads and a couple iPod Touches
“Moog” sounds more like the noises I make before my first cup of coffee than a human being’s name, but if you’re into musical instruments, you’re probably familiar with Bob Moog, the inventor of the Moog synthesizer and an American pioneer of electronic music.
The Moog Foundation has spent years trying to keep the spirit […] - Palin hacker sentenced to one year in a federal prison
We reported yesterday that George Bronk was arrested for hacking Gmail accounts and other obscene offenses, well it looks like he may be joined in his cell by David Kernell: the 23-year-old that was found guilty of hacking into Mrs Palin’s private Yahoo! e-mail account during the run-up to the critical 2008 presidential campaign.
At first […]
