Both Nintendo and Sega have been large components of the portable gaming industry, during at least one point in time. Sega had the Game Gear, which is now a part of history, while Nintendo continues to follow the success of the Game Boy with the DS. In some ways, the Game Gear mimicked the experience…
You can’t always take your computer with you and sometimes you must rely on your smart device. While typing quick texts on a touch screen is no hassle, writing blog posts or long emails can be an annoying task. You want a wireless keyboard, but something that can fit in your pocket. If I said…
Vampires have long been a popular topic in fiction, but the craze has gotten out of hand since the terrible Twilight books and movies came out (although I maintain that the Cullens are not in fact vampires, but fairies). The series (and the money it made) has “inspired” a lot of film directors, authors, and…
As a Mac user, you’re always looking for ways to make your computer unique. You can customize things such as your desktop, icons, hot corners, dock and the overall color scheme.

An urban legend says that Charles H Duell, the commissioner of the US Patent Office, declared in 1899 that “everything that can be invented has been invented.” There is no evidence that he ever said such an idiotic thing, and the decades of the early 20th century were some of the most creative in human…
Ever since Akira screeched into cinema screens in the 1980’s and wowed an entire generation of action film lovers who craved an adult cartoon with the same intensity as something like Die Hard, anime has garnered more and more fans in the west. In Japan it is one of the most lucrative industries with scores…
Rats. Indiana Jones hates them. They turn out to be NOT such great little companions if you live in the Harry Potter universe. And they helped spread the Black Plague. Or did they? With a burial site of plague victims unearthed and scientists looking a little closer at the bones, it seems the rats and…
Everyone knows that science fiction can influence actual science and technology, as with Star Trek’s communicators possibly inspiring the cell phone. Unfortunately some of the cooler aspects of sci-fi might always remain fictional, existing only as plastic props or CGI. Neverthless, we can always hold out hope, and here are a few of the futuristic…
Love, marriage, and babies. No matter the order, these events tend to occur in life on earth. With great power comes great responsibility, and the power to procreate is a big responsibility.
