"WD-40 isn't actually a true lubricant." Lubricat: Noun, 1) A substance that lubricates. From the website itself describing the product "WD-40 Lubricates, Protects, Penetrates & Displaces Moisture" From the Wikipedia page "WD-40 is the trademark name of a lubricant"

my highschool had two kinds of computers in the lab, the first had internet explorer removed from them entirely, the second had a program you couldn't get out of that was flooded with ads on both sides cutting the 15" 3:4 ratio monitors viewing space down to a 5" band in the middle that you had to scroll back and…

I remember when Avast and AVG first came out, they were no better than viruses themselves and even went so far as to fake reports and even install a few viruses themselves. Seriously I caught them doing just that by installing them on a computer that never went online and had a fresh clean install of the OS and…

About 1986 for me, my dad spent a couple grand on a 386 computer that was top of the line at the time, of course this was after the TI-99/A4 was no longer being used which he bought many years earlier. I consider the 386 to be my first computer because I was the one using it the most even though I was just a little…

Since this is already on one of my favorite websites let me give you another. www.instructables.com go there and look up projects she is interested in, they have instructions and some of them even post how it works, if you want to expand your skills you can pick a project to do together. Truth is that you can't judge…

Gizmodo isn't full of DIY'ers though, just a bunch of Elitist Liberal Hipsters who don't know what they are talking about and will throw a childish fit if you argue with them, which is typical. I replaced them with Engadget years ago and am better off for it. As you said, it's not hard to figure out, that they rabidly…

Thanks for the link, Working for Logitech was really fun, they actually contract out their support center so while I worked for them, I didn't actually work for them I fyou know what I mean. The contractor paid well, had a good bonus system, bi monthly company barbeques and they would rotate the day so every employee…

LOL figures, I don't go there any more, haven't since I was working for Logitech a few years back, I got sick of the direction the site was taking and the attitude of it's publishers and those that ran it and the farce their articles were. I know I'm not the only one, but they are an absolute joke compared to other…

Gizmodo banned me for talking about all the problems my sisters Mac has leading to a very poor opinion of the products, from all the software problems to the hard drive shattering and how Apple store wanted $800+ to fix it and my brother in law repaired it for less than $80 with a higher quality and larger capacity…

Flat point shovels for scooping and cleaning up edges, spade point digging, small ones for small jobs, big ones for big jobs, hand shovels/spades are not wise for digging a trench and a snow shovel is not wise for planting. Simple enough, doubt any DIY'er or anyone looking to do a job wouldn't know that, waste of a…

My dad has in his possession a very hard to come by motorcycle and a couple hard to come by cars. I'm thinking of taking a lesson from Leno and getting a 3d printer and loading it with casting wax filaments so that if any parts are needed I can just print out a nearly hollow version of the part, make the mold around…

Same can be said for Linux as well, such a strong misconception that Linux is for programmers only and If you are not it doesn't work. Of course I find it ironic when people using Android all day long say that to me. I generally laugh in their face and ask tell them they are Linux users because Android IS Linux!

I do agree the iTards or iDiots are quite off putting, mine cone straight down to price point VS functionality. I've stated this before but I recently bought a new laptop, it cost about the same amount as a barebones MacBook. What I got was a fully loaded Sager and comparing it price point and functionality wise to a…

I won't advocate Android as the best, but I won't use iOS because of how limiting and constrictive it is. If I wanted a big brother leaning over my shoulder and telling me what I can and cannot do I'd move to either China or France. I chose an Android tablet as a productivity tool because it doesn't prevent and limit…

How about an entire keyboard as a video game controller? Yeah I know terrible idea, thankfully the monstrosity that is the alpha grip appears to have gone the way of the Dinosaur, the controller I miss is the game pads that were basically clones of the console pads, but with six buttons instead of four.

The "Eco-system" comment comes off more as a "brand loyalist" comment, as you did not explain which "Eco system" you were referring to and the original comment is about brand loyalty it comes off as you saying "being a brand loyalist is a good thing as one "Eco system"(Brand, Apple to be specific as that was the…

Actually I only caught the first comment which comes off as you being the sad little troll fanboy, but after I wrote that I caught your second comment which clarifies what you are saying and yes, the second comment is true, and so is my comment about how "Eco systems" don't always get along, it is true for Apple,…

Oh yes, because we ALL know that iTunes works so magnificently well, it NEVER freezes up, is NEVER slower than a snail on a hot and dry summers day, and is full of fairies and pixy dust making it a wonderfully magical experience. And if the sarcasm of my statement isn't palpable enough for you let me put it this way.…

I'd replace the Apple products with ones that are more affordable, would be easy to replace if lost or damaged, and have a much higher level of usability and versatility as well as more responsive and advanced hardware, in other words, anything that isn't an Apple product including the cheap Chinese knockoffs and home…
