Under “Possibly related posts”, my post called, “Beware of Free“.  Sweet!  Can you figure out the connection between the caption and my post (it’s pretty obvious, I’m basically just begging for comments)?

And…

Computer nerd checklist

Posted by openwaves on May 21, 2008

Ten simple questions:

  • Do you play video games on your computer?
  • Have you ever purchased anything from Newegg.com?
  • Are you the first person everyone you know calls when they have a computer problem?
  • Have you ever installed/upgraded any hardware?
  • Are all your USB ports taken?
  • Do you know what “NetBeans” is?
  • Are you running Linux?
  • Have you assembled your own external hard drive enclosure to save money?
  • Are you convinced you are the smartest person you know?
  • Finally…are you reading this blog?

If you can answer “yes” to all these questions, you are a certifiable computer nerd!  Congratulations…

Get rid of your crap

Posted by openwaves on May 16, 2008

Now, when you buy a new PC, you don’t have to spend MORE time getting rid of all the “crapware” that comes pre-installed on your machine as you do actually setting it up in the first place (of course you could have just bought a Mac).

pcdecrapifier.com

They also feature a blog of recent stories that are pretty interesting. For instance, I just saw that Sony wants you to pay them $50 to “pre-uninstall” all the crapware they put on your computer in the first place. How is this not a joke?  Apparently, some people got mad and Sony took care of it.  By that I mean, they no longer offer this service.
