After posting the first article about Tourist Remover my Internet connection died suddenly and I knew that it was a problem at the Internet Provider because the phone was not working as well. Since I use the same provider for phone and Internet that was a sure bet. I called anyway just to make sure [...]

I was reading The Simple Dollar where there was an interesting post on the cheapest fully functional PC a person could use. The post was sparked by the author’s own experience of building PCs for people and just where you can cut costs. He says you can get a computer for less than $100. Here’s [...]

When I got my first computer, my hard drive was all of 2.1 Gigabytes. At that time, it was a huge amount and I didn’t think I’d ever run out of disk space. Fast forward to 2008 and my current configuration includes two hard drives, one of which can hold 250 GB. At current status, [...]

I want to buy a new mobile device and think that the best way to find one that suits my needs is to ask the readers here at Ghacks. If a device like this exists you will surely know about it recommend the best fit for my needs. I will start this article by describing [...]

I just finished reading the review and comments about Das Keyboard on Slashdot which apparently seems to provide a better typing experience for a hefty price tag. In case you are wondering what Das Keyboard means it’s a mix of German and English with Das Keyboard simply translating to The Keyboard. The keyboard comes as [...]

With the kind of reality distorting statement we’re usually only accustomed to hear from Apple keynotes I’d like to present the exclusive on the iPhone: It has 3G and you heard it from us first.

Whether it’s a CD, mp3, or some internet radio, you have to admit that it’s a great way to keep yourself occupied. Listening to music only needs a software program that does the needful. This brings me [...]

Mobile phone giant Nokia is looking for a foothold into the music distribution business. To that end, Nokia has introduced an online music service called the Nokia Music Store in Australia. Their aim is to provide a service that will take on Apple’s iTunes and win. There’s nothing wrong in wanting to beat iTunes. However, [...]

I have been using Nero Burning Rom for a long time. It used to be a free giveaway with every CD or DVD burner that I bought over the years and I’m currently using version 7 something of it on my computer. Nero is a good program, really. It is just a little bit slow [...]

I was first introduced to the downloading phenomenon back in 2000 when a friend got me hooked on Napster. I thought it was cool that I could have songs on a CD which I only had on tape before. I didn’t really do much downloading since I had a dial-up connection and my phone bills [...]

Here is the problem that I’m currently facing. I sometimes download files from the Internet that are packed and placed into different folders of the same hard drive. I normally unpack them in each folder separately which takes quite a bit of manual work depending on the amount of folders with files that can be [...]
