A few days ago, Adobe announced that they were going to release a new version of Flash that has H.264 support, which essentially means that Flash can now play videos (and games) that have the same quality as HD-DVD’s and Blu-Ray discs. I can see Youtube becoming a site that you have to wait for [...]

Posted by Pxl_Buzzard | August 21, 2007 .

Even though the title may be confusing to some, the idea is simple. If your computer is trying to run a process (program/application) that is stealing a ton of your computer’s memory, then Process Tamer tells the program to watch it, or you (the user) is going to get mad and break something.

Posted by Pxl_Buzzard | August 20, 2007 .

As I was reading through my RSS Feeds on RSSOwl (maybe I’ll review it later?), I read about this new app for the iPhone developed by Dave Philips. He calls it: “The iPhone18 Golf Score Card,” and it is pretty much a golf score card for those people who would rather use their fancy new [...]

Posted by Pxl_Buzzard | August 20, 2007 .

Vista Transformation Pack (current version 7.0) is a program that aims to make Windows XP look like Windows Vista.

Posted by Pxl_Buzzard | August 18, 2007 .

I am not a user of Windows Vista. I still use my trusty copy of Windows XP, because I am a believer that it is more compatible with stuff right now (not mentioning that I had to reformat my desktop computer when I tried to install Vista on it). In the next couple of years, [...]

EA Takes Another Step Towards Being Doomed

Posted by Pxl_Buzzard | August 17, 2007 .

I just read an article over at Shacknews that told about how someone from the EA Headquarters has been making lots of changes to the EA Wikipedia page. Apparently he has been editing out nearly any reference to Trip Hawkins, who originally founded EA back in the day. He was even removed from the “key [...]
