| Relive The Long Lost Web Of The 90s With Net Cafe [Stuff to Watch] Posted: 10 Mar 2014 06:30 PM PDT  There was something about the emerging Internet that made it a very exciting place to be in the 1990s. Maybe it was my young age, but the early web was somewhat of a community all by itself – a small number of connected users, packing into a limited number of services, stepping on each others toes. No television program documented the early web quite like Net Cafe, which was first broadcast in 1996 and ran until 2002; interviewing then-aspiring dotcom pioneers and winning awards for journalistic excellence along the way. Just like geeky broadcast predecessor Computer Files, Net Cafe has... Read the full article: Relive The Long Lost Web Of The 90s With Net Cafe [Stuff to Watch] |

| 6 Lesser Known Final Fantasy Games That Deserve A Playthrough Posted: 10 Mar 2014 01:00 PM PDT  When you stop to think about it, it’s hard to decide which is more astonishing; the fact that developer/publisher Square-Enix is hard at work on the 15th game in their long running JRPG franchise, or the fact that those 15 games are just the tip of the Final Fantasy iceberg. Few game series can match the sheer volume and variety of content that has come out under the Final Fantasy name. Fighting games? Rhythm games? Real-time strategy games? Check, check, and check! Short of first-person shooters, I can’t think of a genre into which Square-Enix hasn’t tried to cram a... Read the full article: 6 Lesser Known Final Fantasy Games That Deserve A Playthrough |

| Try This When Windows Software Won’t Install Posted: 10 Mar 2014 10:00 AM PDT  You’ll occasionally run into an error when installing software on Windows. The installer may refuse to run, report an error code, say it’s unable to write to a folder, or even silently fail. You’ll need to troubleshoot the problem so you can install software normally. Run as Administrator Most Windows software needs to be installed with administrator privileges. Thanks to User Account Control (UAC), you’re probably using a limited user account. Most of the time, you won’t have to worry about this. Whenever you install a program you’ll see a UAC pop-up and can grant permission. Modern software installers will...

| Lucid Launcher: A Tiny Launcher With Big Innovations Posted: 10 Mar 2014 07:00 AM PDT  It sometimes feels as though half of the apps on Google Play are launchers. But this one is different – I promise. While we’ve previously looked at industry giant Nova that hews close to the official Android line, we also reviewed more unique launchers such as Action Launcher and even context-based Chameleon. We like these, because they capture the spirit of Android: You should be able to customize your phone: not just to make it look different, but work differently, too. Lucid Launcher takes that spirit and runs with it, giving you vertical homescreens, a quick sidebar, and an integrated... Read the full article: Lucid Launcher: A Tiny Launcher With Big Innovations |

| Follow The White Mysterabbit, Spread Joy With 3D Printers and Instagram Posted: 10 Mar 2014 05:00 AM PDT  Have you ever seen a Superlambanana in the wild? I have. They’re about seventeen feet high, have the tail of a banana, the body of a sheep and are a bright, luminous yellow. No, I’ve not eaten any moldy bread. I’m not suffering from ergot poisoning. I’ve not taken any illicit substances. I’m reasonably certain I’ve not suffered from a mental breakdown. I’m talking about the Superlambanana. This famous sculpture was created in 1998 by Japanese artist Taro Chiezo and has became an iconic symbol of Liverpool.
