Being that I’ve spent a decent amount of time over the past couple of weeks attempting to get Office 07 to install and run in Ubuntu 8.04, I figure it would be appropriate to start this post with a Q&A session. This is what I have learned so far, take it for what it’s worth.

After crying like a baby for a few hours at the prospect of so much lost data and insufficient backups, I decided that maybe there was still hope for recovering my lost data. As I mentioned, I just recently completed a college course in information forensics. As part of this course, we learned how to [...]
About two weeks ago, not more than a few days after the end of my Junior year of college, I decided that it was time to do something with my laptop. My installation of Windows XP Pro was starting to get sluggish and being the impatient type that I can sometimes be; it was beginning [...]

Also found all over the blogosphere are the never ending debates as to whether PC’s or Mac’s are inherently more secure. After thinking about all of this and considering how incredibly thin the MacBook Air really [...]

I decided to do a little investigation and found that Facebook offers a program called Social Ads. They allow you to choose either a Cost Per Click (CPC) model or a Cost Per Thousand Impressions (CPM) model. For each [...]
This article is for all of you that may have a computer sitting around that lives in an old, ugly…probably creme colored case. I know there are plenty of you out there. Luckily, with a little time and a few supplies, you can have your computer looking and feeling younger in no time! I’ve bolded [...]
Hundreds of computer users sell their used computer systems everyday. Why? Well, because computers systems become out-dated…everyday.
