God Hates DoS Attacks?

by

Tango down! Man this guy doesn’t quit. Talking about Jester (th3j35t3r) who disrupts the websites of who most of us would identify as the bad guys. For a while his targets were exclusively apparent Jihadist recruiters. Then he became a pain in Wikileak’s ass which ignited some controversy including right here when I wrote about … Read more

Happy Birthday Osborne I – Miss ya buddy

by

I was scanning Engadget today and noticed that yesterday was the Osborne 1’s 30th birthday. It brought back a flood of memories from my early computing experiences with this 24 pounder. As MD is a site about mobility, and the Osborne 1 was disputably the first portable/mobile computer in the World, I thought a piece … Read more

Oh Man I Hate AT&T

Don’t get me started on the T-Mobile buyout. It would be better for my sanity and your eyes if I didn’t rant about that yet. Just want to offer a recent example of an AT&T move that reminds me of how much they sucked, how I kept paying them to continue to suck for years. … Read more

Toshiba USB Monitors Are a Go!

I’ve been running dual screens in my home setup for years now, and the added desktop space adds a great deal more productivity to my day. Now, us cool kids can take that experience wherever we go, with Toshiba’s 14” USB monitor. … Read more

You’ve Got Fail!

Got a cool trick up my sleeve to dazzle a client with to prove you care about them more than you care about not pissing off a Black Swan audience (some guy got shot in France for that you know, great movie), that in addition to being able to contact you normally they are also … Read more
