Interesting...

It's not a netbook

Nope!
Toshiba: back in time...

Apple, Google, they are the same

Old story.

The current companies collect our personal information and they do what they want, sell them, make money on them.
For me is ok if I know it and I can select which informations provide.
After Apple and his "I'm collecting wifi spots for blahblahblah" is the time for Google.

Let me be a bit angry when I can trace with Google, through the MAC address of my wifi router, my home address.
I have no idea how they did it to collect all this data (google cars?), But that does not please me at all.

Considerations to you.

Insert your MAC address : http://www.wartris.com/wifilocate/ and try.
This site reads a public Google database.
You can find your MAC in your router details.

I've tryed:
- Pc network card MAC: nothing
- Smartphone MAC: nothing
- Router ASDL port MAC: nothing
- Router LAN port MAC: nothing
- Router WIFI port MAC:  ... aw, sh*t... my current address

My access point is not for public use, it's crypted and not so powerfull. So, why collecting it?

Google, don't be evil.

Crysis 2... bye bye Steam

Crisis 2 is no longer available on Steam, but will be available on Origin, the new EA DD platform.
The digital delivery war has begun.


Edit: EA says that is not his fault... uhm.... mumble mumble...

Finger Mouse

Out of curiosity I bought this mouse. Is dedicated for use with laptops, but no matter.

It's not bad, but it works better on my t-shirt that on the desk in the picture!

Indie games with YoYo

http://www.yoyogames.com


This is a interesting website that collects a bunch of homemade games made with a tool called GameMaker.

Follow this link for the game list: http://www.yoyogames.com/browse

The tool is for beginners and for developers a bit more expert,  there is the possibility to use a scripting language for coding and the support of plugins and DLLs written in other languages. I'm reading that in the next times this tool will support the publishing in other devices and OS (iOs, Android, PSP, Mac, etc...).

There is a huge amount of games...  like:

Expand a short URL

This is a useful website for checking the final destination of a short URL like http://bit.ly/dzndHk.

If you wanna know the true address of this short link you should visit the link or use this website:

http://knowurl.com/

There are a Chrome Extension and a mobile app for this purpose.

My old trick to show where a short url redirects is to open it in a new notepad file.
Notepad> File > Open > insert URL and OK... the result is the HTML source code of the destination page.

TiM: the Incredible Machine

How many hours I have spent with this game...
Do you remember?
This is a great puzzle game! If you never played this game or want to play another time...

Download it from this amazing website: http://www.thehouseofgames.net/index.php?t=10&id=216

On Windows XP works great, if you have Vista or superior and doesn't work try to use Compatible Mode or install DOS-Box.
