It has long been my suspicion, that many organisations do not permit their application source code to be copied out of their premises, not because of security or IP reasons, but to just save themselves from sheer embarassment. Honourary members of the court, allow me to present exhibit ...

Like a repeated offender, Linksys is fast losing my confidence in their passion to develop decent products. Notice I did not use the word ''quality''. Just when we thought the NAS200 cannot get any worse, it one ups, or should I say one downs itself to a new low. The very reason why I bought this device over D-Link's offering: the additional two ...

Do not, ever, try to assume your software is smarter than the user when it comes to personal choice and preferences. When you give users the option of customising settings, jolly well respect and honour that decision. Do not go off pretending the software noted the preference, and then come tip-toeing back like a sneaky giggly child and setting ...

I thought it was that simple. I really did. It has been years now. I am just so used to maxing out my 100Mbps home network. Routine file transfers stream from computer to computer at takeoff speeds of 80-99.9Mbps. It would not be far off to guess that the numerous hard disks in my possession are reaching similar levels of capacity and ...

We all know the drill. Politicians, executives, management and such have a tendency to employ a rather slippery technique to answer difficult questions posed to them. In any unconscious or conscious effort to sound cool, evade, confuse, distract the recipients of their messages, statements heavy on vague meaning, ambiguous references, ...

I really believe technology is a great thing, bringing huge benefit to the world. But the pace of improvement and change is so rapid that, at least at the consumer market, manufacturers hardly consider designing their products for reliability and durability. Just take a look at this forum. What now? Like a sudden lightning strike that ...

It always tickles me whenever I use a paper shredder and see the iconic symbols to precaution having the following items anywhere close to the exposed shredding blades: long hair, or beards. fingers that are thin enough to fit through the slot. ties (especially branded ones). really long necklaces that I am sure most corporate offices ...
