Time to eat crow: Windows 8 is better than Windows 7
If you've been a regular reader of this blog, you've probably seen my opinion of Windows 8 vary greatly throughout the operating system's development cycle. I was initially happy with many of the enhancements due to be introduced with Windows 8, like the OS Reset and Refresh features, streamlined multi-monitor support, revamped CHKDSK tool, and integrated virtualization technology, among many...

'Replacement Google' creator awaiting NFL penalty flag
Yesterday my colleague Colin Neagle was among those who flagged a new parody site called Replacement Google for necessary roughness in the way that it skewers the National Football League for foisting upon us "replacement referees," who all too often find only folly when searching for the correct call. Replacement Google is just as useless, but in a much more amusing manner. Read More

An iPad stand, a WiFi access point, and a honeypot
I've checked out many iPad stands over the last few months and I just found what I think is one of the very best: The Uprise 360 produced by Hub Innovations. This is a dead simple design which your iPad (version 2 or 3) snaps into and you can rotate it to portrait or landscape as required. It's easy to remove the iPad when you need to and that's it ... as I said, it's dead simple and does the job. For $39.95 the Uprise 360 produced by Hub Innovations Uprise 360 gets a Gearhead rating of 5 out of 5. Read More
