For the last two days I've been trying to plug in my iPhone to sync with iTunes but every time I plug the phone in it does nothing; iTunes does not recognize nor acknowledge the iPhone. I have since plugged in other items into the USB port thinking that it could be it but it finds and uses a...

I'm working on a friends laptop (HP Pavilion zvt5000) in which Windows runs super slow on it. Instead of attempting to do a clean install of Windows XP I want to install Ubuntu on the laptop since she is not really computer savvy. The BIOS setup states that it is a P4 3Ghz, with 384mb of RAM...

I was reading an article on Yahoo! News today about Quicken 2007 and the functions included in it. Something that was thought of was a widget that allows you to input transactions into Quicken's registery without opening the program. I thought that was a great idea, and was wondering if...

Just when you thought the security of Linux and OSX was kinda untouchable an article like this comes out. Virus Targets Linux or Windows Not that this virus really affects much, just that the idea of 1 file could disable all major operating systems could be shocking. Keep an eye out.

I just downloaded the Ubuntu Live CD for use on my iBook but I'm having issues getting it to boot. I've gotten it to self boot on a x86 PC which was easy but I'm having an issue to get it to boot from the DVD drive. I'm sure that this is a simple solution but I don't really know. Anyone...

My buddy just bought a Sony VAIO FJ170/B from Circuit City. He took me along with him to make such he was getting a "cheap" computer. I knew Sony was inovative with their designs (sort of like Apple which I'm a Apple guy). It has a WXGA which was a crisp screen and it has a camera in it so he...
