I recently had the privilege of playing the Blur Beta on Xbox 360 thanks to snorkle256 being generous enough to pass a beta invite my way. All I can say is wow, is this game fun! After playing for a few hours, I feel that it is a really nice melding of two great games: [...]
WordPress for Blackberry v1.1 was released yesterday, and its awesome. No problems publishing posts, ninterface, easy to use. Now if they only had something built in to compensate for my fat thumbs!
Having been a customer of Giganews for several years, I recently received an email detailing their new service for Diamond Members, called VyprVPN. The service is exactly what it sounds like – a VPN tunnel through which you can direct your Internet traffic. If you happen to be in a relatively insecure location, like an [...]
Dear Seagate, What a love-hate relationship we have had. It has been 10 years, and while I have enjoyed much of it, I have suffered enough heartbreak. I think it is finally time to say goodbye. Drive after drive has died on me (5 of them to be exact). Your firmware release to fix spontaneous [...]
Yet another Seagate drive I own bit the dust a few days ago. The current victim is a Barracuda 7200.11 500 GB drive. I can’t quite recall when I bought it, but it is still under warranty for quite some time. Before anyone asks – yes, I updated the firmware. No, not the original “fix” [...]
I’m looking for an “artist” self-proclaimed or otherwise to do a small bit of icon creation for an application I am working on. The position is non-paying (it’s a free application), though you will be credited accordingly. Enticing, I’m sure. If you are interested, drop me an email at drnathan (at) teamhackaday (dotcom).
It’s nothing new, but it is quite a convenience. If you have ever been stuck typing a message on Xbox Live letter by letter with the controller, you know how frustrating it is and how long it takes. Enter the Xbox 360 Messenger Kit: This kit has been around awhile, but I just picked it [...]
In a new feature that I hope will become a weekly fixture on the site, I present “Things I Like”. Each week I will pick out one, if not several things that have come across my radar that I like. I am not a shill for anyone (like they would pay me…), I just want [...]
Another week, another opportunity for Seagate to disappoint. I have to start by saying that the turnaround time for my RMA has been pretty quick. I had a shipping notification the same afternoon they received my dead drive. That being said, the replacement should arrive at my house today. I really hope I get it. [...]
I prefer Seagate drives over most others because I typically don’t have many issues with the drives, if at all. Recently though, a relatively new (6 mos. old) drive died on me, and I went to Seagate’s site to submit an RMA. Normally the process is pretty simple. I have RMA-d quite a few Western [...]
