C.O.D. Protests The Protect IP Act

Personally, I am sick and tired of the United States government meddling more and more in our lives.  The movie and music industry is using our elected officials like puppets (muppets) and we are sitting idly by and letting it happen.  Well, I signed the petition, and my voice will be heard next election.  G.R.I.P. – Get Rid of Incumbent Politicians.  If we really want to make changes, we have to get those that pander to big business out of office and let them know that we have the power to do it.  After all, they are there to represent Read More…

It has been a few months since I last visited with a GlacialTech offering and when they asked me to take a look at the Siberia Cooler, I was hopeful.  Hopeful that they would be able to win on all fronts this time.  The Siberia aims at a different target than the Alaska did, the Siberia is designed for quiet cooling, lots of cooling, but uses a design that is no taller than the Nexus FLC-3000 R2.  Horizontal heatsinks are perfect for applications where height is not an option, such as home theater PC's.  Siberia is cold, let's see if this cooler cools.

Every person has different tastes when it comes to their installation of Windows.  Through the years that have been many things that I do right off the bat when getting my install "just right".  In the XP days, the first thing I would do was to stretch the taskbar, enable Quick Launch, add an address bar, unlock it, then move those around a bit.  If my taskbar wasn't set up this way, I HATED IT... in fact, I would move other people's around when I worked on their computers!  Windows 7 is no different for me, however, the list isn't as exhaustive yet.
