Hollywood Computing

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

As geeks you know the feeling when you are watching a movie and you see either applications on computers or things that happen related to computers. Most if not all that happens or that you see has any reflection in reality. Beats me why this is because the end result looks ridiculous!
Found this today that [...]

Paper Planes :: Total Time Waster

Monday, August 20th, 2007

I warn you now that this site that was sent to me today by a good mate is the worst time waster that I have ever come across. At the time he sent it to me he had been playing it for two hours!
So what is it? Well from what I can gather it looks [...]

GGP Skype Public Chat

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

Not sure how this is going to go or if anyone will use it. But I have created a public chat room on Skype for our listeners.
Now as I understand it, this chat will be always open and you can join and chat with people that are there or leave a comment or a message [...]

Advertising :: What do you think?

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

I have a quick listener question for you guys. I am currently looking at our advertising and trying to figure out just what advertising we should have both here on the web site and in the podcast. I was racking my brain trying to think of some vendors, sure I thought of a few that [...]

Obviously a Very Itemized iPhone Bill

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

This I just could not believe! I heard a few rumors about this but never bothered to look into it until Wade shared it with us via Blue Dot (thanks mate).
As it turns out probably one of the worst things about having an iPhone is the bill you get. This just seems too ridiculous to [...]

Google Cheat Sheet

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

Cheat sheets are great ways to find something quick and are useful in a pinch. The other thing that I think they are useful for is passing onto friends and family. Often the most needed, simple operations can be found using a cheat sheet. This one is no different and this time it is a [...]

Lost in Translation

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

A few weeks ago on the show Tim and I said that we would post a story about this image that we found. The problem was that we both lost the link. Found it!
This is a manual or instructions on how to install a hard drive, or at least that’s what we think it is. [...]

The Global Geek Podcast #059 :: Interruptions

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

Hey Guys, welcome to this weeks Global Geek Podcast. This week was somewhat interesting, we had some issues with Skype. We think that the latest version of Skype does not want to play nice with older versions, anyone else having similar issues?
So this week in Tech The Aussie government thinks it knows best, AOL to [...]

Assessing Smell :: Environmental Engineer Style (Because we Asked)

Sunday, August 12th, 2007

A few weeks ago on the podcast we asked George what an “Environmental Engineer” does… well it turned out that there is more than one type. To cut a long story short George specializes in the assessment of odour, more commonly known as “whats that smell”. Well that might be a bit simplistic, he specializes [...]

New iMac Released

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

Speculation and out of focus photo’s are now finished with. The new Apple iMac has been unearthed and they look absolutely fantastic. To me they don’t look “that” different from the last iteration, however they now sport a brushed metal finish and maybe thinner and a bit more glass reflecting the design of the laptops [...]
