| Posted: 22 Mar 2014 07:30 PM PDT  Geeks whine about everything. Nothing makes us happy. Even when new products are released, we can somehow find something wrong with them — like the current barrage of smartwatches, they’re just not good enough. Or perhaps we have unreasonably high standards. So we whine. Even when nothing new comes along, we whine. Let me put this out there: it’s totally acceptable to whine. Just make sure you do it right. via Ryan Dow Read the full article: A Flowchart For Geek Whining |

| 50 First Tweets By Twitter Virgins [Weird & Wonderful Web] Posted: 22 Mar 2014 05:30 PM PDT  Twitter is a magical tool which consistently outshines its billing as a social network. Twitter is more than that, having evolved throughout its short life as dictated and directed by the people who use it. And millions of us do use Twitter. The question is, where did it all begin? We’re not talking about the history of Twitter here, but instead the first few moments on the site taken by rich, famous, powerful, and influential Twitter users. Oh, and MakeUseOf writers. First Tweet Twitter recently turned eight, and to celebrate the occasion it invited everyone to relive their first tweet....

| Chill Out With New Sub Zero Levels On Angry Birds Go!

| Two Ways To Reformat Your Chromebook: Powerwash & Full Recovery Posted: 22 Mar 2014 03:00 PM PDT  One of a Chromebook’s main selling points is its stateless drive’s provision of security and stability – but what are your choices when something goes wrong? You have two options. While you won’t get anything like Window’s famous ‘Blue Screen of Death’, it’s not entirely true that Chromebook’s are 100 percent hacker-proof. If you operate in Developer Mode you will disable the device’s inbuilt Verified Boot and a kernel could become compromised without your knowledge, and if you run an alternative Linux operating system a bad file or malicious code could potentially infiltrate your machine. In fact, nothing necessarily has... Read the full article: Two Ways To Reformat Your Chromebook: Powerwash & Full Recovery |
| 3 Alternatives To MediaWiki When Hosting Your Own Wiki Posted: 22 Mar 2014 01:00 PM PDT  MediaWiki powers some of the largest wikis in the world, like Wikipedia, WikiAnswers, and AboutUs. However, just because it’s the most popular choice doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best. In fact, there are a handful of strong alternatives that may suit you better in the long run. It’s great that MediaWiki is so flexible and versatile, but that comes at the price of complexity. It can be troublesome to set up and maintain, which may lead to chronic frustration. On top of that, the documentation is lacking in some areas, making the learning curve a bit steeper than it should... Read the full article: 3 Alternatives To MediaWiki When Hosting Your Own Wiki |
