| 5 Sites For Those Who Still Don’t Understand Bitcoin Posted: 09 Jan 2015 08:30 PM PST  As Bitcoin tries to gain a firm foothold as a stable form of digital currency (fighting against alternative crypto-currencies who want to do the same), there are many people in the world who are scratching their heads at what it is all about. This is not good for Bitcoin because the more people who don’t understand the digital currency, the less likely will be its mainstream acceptance. This would leave Bitcoin as a niche currency for criminals, and people who don’t trust the government with real paper and coins currency. This would be a shame, because restaurants and businesses are now starting to... Read the full article: 5 Sites For Those Who Still Don’t Understand Bitcoin     |

| GLONASS – The GPS Alternative You Never Knew Existed Posted: 09 Jan 2015 08:00 AM PST  Did you know there’s more to location services than GPS? There’s another satellite navigation system which you might not have heard of, but you’re probably already using. It’s called GLONASS. What is GLONASS? An acronym for Globalnaya Navigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema (Global Navigation Satellite System), GLONASS is a Russian Aerospace Defense Force-operated satellite-based navigation system that is very much like GPS. While GPS came first, created by the United States Army in 1978, GLONASS was intended as an alternative system. Contemporary uses for GLONASS are the same as GPS, with it being primarily used as a system for vehicle and aviation... Read the full article: GLONASS – The GPS Alternative You Never Knew Existed  |
| Watch Us Try The Oculus Rift Crescent Bay At CES 2015 Posted: 09 Jan 2015 07:30 AM PST  When I walked in to try the new Oculus Rift prototype (Codenamed: Crescent Bay), I thought I had a pretty good idea what was in store for me. This is how it feels to be wrong. I left the demo weak-kneed, and impressed as hell. What I saw is the future of Virtual Reality, and a powerful sign of things to come. The prototype, which boasts higher resolution, lower latency, and 3D audio, is not a new dev kit like the DK2. It’s a feature prototype intended to give developers and the press a chance to see where the technology is... Read the full article: Watch Us Try The Oculus Rift Crescent Bay At CES 2015  |
| Apple Didn’t Start In A Garage – What About Google, HP and Amazon? Posted: 09 Jan 2015 07:00 AM PST  America is a land of myth and legend. As a country and a culture, The United States embraces myths like no other. For an outsider — and self-confessed Ameriphile — it's shocking to discover the difference between the America that's presented to the world and the America that exists. Many of the things that people think make America "America" are myths and fabrications built on half-truths. Cowboys? They mostly herded cattle. The American Dream? I won't mention income inequality, rising cost of living, the student debt crisis and that the largest predictor of your income is your parent's income. And...

| System Restore On Reboot – Deep Freeze Your Windows Installation With Free Tools Posted: 09 Jan 2015 05:00 AM PST  If you’ve ever wanted to maintain a system state to keep it secure and not allow any changes, then you might want to try deep freezing your Windows computer. Unlike a factory reset, which wipes everything back to the manufacturer’s default, a deep freeze allows you to create a specific system state that you want your computer to restore back to. Windows 8 has built-in utilities to restore and refresh your system, but this is a bit different. There are paid and free applications to help you accomplish this, so we’re going to look at both and see what’s available...
