Bad Windows Tweaks

Posted by Clint on Aug 6th, 2008

This was an awesone blog from Lifehacker’s How-To Geek, and I thought I should share with you guys…


As a tech writer, one of my biggest pet peeves is the plethora of bad advice littered across almost every web site dedicated to system tweaking. Besides the tweaks that simply don’t work, some of them will actually cause your computer to run even slower—or worse. Let’s examine some of the most offensive myths out there regarding PC performance tweaking, and debunk them once and for all.

Sharon Apple, From Sci-Fi to reality.

OK While looking up the artist that did this odd, yet catchy song from last week, I discovered something…
IT WAS A ROBOT!!! The voice actress Hatsune Miku is nothing more than a AI designed by Yamaha’s synth lab. Wow! The reality of there being a Sharron Apple type Artificial Voice actress is here… To bad Miku kinda sounds like crap. BUT This is mealy the beginning. 5 years from now and we won’t be able to tell the difference. So… does this mean Japanese Techno will get better or worse???
OMG S.R.W. game music will DEFINITELY get worse!

Here’s a few vids I sorted through that didn’t completely suck…
vid 1 the source of the vid above
vid 2 the song on the dancing MP3 player
vid 3 lol totoro

LOL Cheep RAID for Notebooks

Posted by Clint on Apr 23rd, 2008

I know it’s kinda cheating but regardless it’s an awesome solution (if only I could rig this up to work with my PSP)



Using this device (2 card on top one on the bottom) you can set up 3 Compact flash drives as a standard 2.5″ SATA hard drive and use it for your laptop. They also claim this device even supports RAID 5!! Considering how expensive a conventional SSD this is a wicked alternative.
