What happened during those times What would cause your face to freeze and your jaw to drop In my experience it has almost always been because data was lost. It&8217;s normally the realisation that everything you had was gone - when you stare blankly at the computer ...http://www.techsnake.com/2008/09/15/create-a-simple-backup-batch-file-in-windows/ Robotic Cat - It Will Kill Us All!- September 11, 2008 Pushing around the internetz, minding my own business, I fell upon an old Gizmodo article of a year ago about a cat that you can buy, from Japan. No ordinary cat, no, but a robotic electrocute your-family-and-take-over-the-house sort of kitty. Scarily realistic, you would wonder if children would be able to sleep at night after ...http://www.techsnake.com/2008/09/11/robotic-cat-it-will-kill-us-all/ Google Getting Close And Personal- September 7, 2008 With news that Google have just got that little bit closer to providing users of Google&8217;s Maps and Earth a more detailed than ever view of where we live, I wonder if it&8217;s all such a good thing.. The GeoEye satellite, 423 miles about the Earth, peers down as you&8217;re outside doing the gardening. Little do ...http://www.techsnake.com/2008/09/07/google-getting-close-and-personal/ Yahoo Flailing- September 5, 2008 I&8217;m not sure if this is a Microhoo story or not, but I do know that Yahoo&8217;s shares have dropped to a 5 year low - at what point does this equate to &8220;Shareholder Value&8221; exactly Mr. Yang Of course, The Register were one of the first (even ahead of me!) to jump on that ...http://www.techsnake.com/2008/09/05/yahoo-flailing/ Organise Your Taskbar Buttons- September 4, 2008 I&8217;m the sort of person that looks at something and wonders why it isn&8217;t as good as something else I have. Example: In your modern browser you have tabs, and you can click-drag these to reorganise. Something you don&8217;t need to do that often, but it&8217;s nice to have the option. So I wondered why ...http://www.techsnake.com/2008/09/04/organise-your-taskbar-buttons/ What Happens To Mozilla Now- September 4, 2008 I know, we shouldn&8217;t be getting the pallbearers ready just yet, but after the release of Google&8217;s Chrome it does raise the question of how it will affect Firefox &038; the Mozilla Foundation. The Foundation is largely funded by Google so it presents a complicated situation for the two groups. On one side you have Google, ...http://www.techsnake.com/2008/09/04/what-happens-to-mozilla-now/ Google Chrome - First Look- September 2, 2008 Google Chrome was made available for download, by the public, from here, during a press conference &038; webcast at Google HQ (which I was lucky enough to view), which detailed the features of the new browser. A few things I noticed during the conference, was a lot of direct comparison between Internet Explorer and Google Chrome ...http://www.techsnake.com/2008/09/02/google-chrome-first-look/ Download Google Chrome- September 2, 2008 Here is the link to download Google Chrome - Please bare in mind that it isn&8217;t active until the Google HQ wakes up - at the moment it resolves to Google&8217;s homepage. Download Google Chromehttp://www.techsnake.com/2008/09/02/download-google-chrome/ Googles Chrome To Take On Internet Explorer And Firefoxs Dominance- September 2, 2008 Google - the world&8217;s favourite search engine, has decided to step up and compete in the browser market. Competing with, more obviously, Internet Explorer, but also the likes of Firefox, Opera &038; Safari, Google&8217;s Open Source &8220;Chrome&8221; browser (to be launched today in Beta) seems like a bold, but very logical step. It makes perfect sense to ...http://www.techsnake.com/2008/09/02/googles-chrome-to-take-on-internet-explorer-and-firefo... |
