Alongside the large assortment of cat videos found on YouTube, there appears to be an increasing number of driving videos making their way to the video sharing website. With many of these uploads coming from places like China and Russia, you can find videos showing accidents, falling asteroids, bad drivers, people who inflict self-damage against a car, and much more. If you have ever been in a car accident, you may have experienced the situation of the person at fault attempting to lie their way out, claiming that YOU were at fault.

In a previous Logitech mouse review, I briefly mentioned how computer mice are some of the most robust accessories that we use and own. Surprisingly, given their operation and the amount of usage a mouse receives it’s amazing that it can withstand the test of time. Having to deal with millions of clicks, thousands of webpages scrolled through, and miles of distance traveled over a mouse pad, it’s surprising that we don’t need to replace them every year. I am a user that fits that claim quite well. Since it first came out many years ago, I have been using…
If I were to create a poll asking random people if they preferred a Lamborghini Aventador over a Ford Taurus, there is a strong chance most people would choose the Lamborghini. So why is that? As humans, we tend to engineer everything to a better standard than the previous generation. In our complex minds, we seem to believe that the more power and more speed a certain object has, the better it is. We wouldn’t be wrong for thinking that, as the Lamborghini has a zero to sixty time of just 2.9 seconds whereas the Ford takes 6.6 seconds. These…

Microsoft, yesterday, held their San Francisco event that will unveil the newest and latest version of Windows. In a surprise to all, Microsoft will dub the new Windows, ‘Windows’ or ‘Windows 10’; skipping over the expected Windows 9 codename. Terry Myerson, VP of operating systems at Microsoft, said it well in stating that it is a substantial leap to skip the Windows 9 branding. “Windows 10 will run on the broadest amount of devices. A tailored experience for each device,” Myerson said. “There will be one way to write a universal application, one store, one way for apps to be…
Over the past few months, my assortment of headphone reviews has grown to a point where you can find reviews of gaming, music, and everyday headphones. What I have come to learn after all this is that to construct audio equipment it takes time, precision, and a knowledge of the audio market. When it comes to our headphones, we expect them to last for years and never miss a beat. We also expect a modern style that continues to stay popular and unique. Manufacturers that have been in the audio business for a long time, and make their income from…

It’s better to know and understand the product you’re buying rather than just taking a shot in the dark on an impulse buy.…
Whenever I post an article or review that deals with computer data recovery, I tend to think of the aphorism “if your data is important to you, keep it safe!” Creating backups, using high quality computer components, and using safe internet browsing techniques are just a few ways of keeping your data safe from deletion, corruption, and/or theft. Using a secondary hard drive running in RAID 1 or just as a backup storage drive is an excellent first step towards having a reliable backup. You should also confirm that your computer is built using high quality components, as low quality…
