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…

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).

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.

If this works, I have just posted from my Mac’s Dashboard via WordPressDash.

Here it is (and of course it’s free). Pretty sweet!

I stumbled upon this and thought it was good for a few laughs.
