Android may be one of the world's most popular operating systems, but the fragmentation of it between devices can cause some confusion. Known for their deliciously sweet names, Gingerbread, Froyo, and Jelly Bean are just of few of the many versions of Android your device could be running.
Imagine if Apple sold customized, jailbroken iPhones at their retail stores. Do you know how freaking awesome that would be? Knowing Apple and their extremely tight-assed regime, it's more likely that Tony Romo will actually win a Super Bowl (Cowboys burn).
Would you exercise more if you were constantly running from zombies in a post-apocalyptic world where hundreds of people are depending on you to not get eaten? If your answer is yes, then you really need to snap out of your sedentary lifestyle ASAP and install the Zombies, Run! app on your smartphone.

Want to add the convenience of tabs to Windows Explorer? The aptly named TabExplorer can help.
This is a prank on the public by the Jackass guys, not a prank on the Jackass guys. This would take a bit of planning and pre-production but could be pretty funny. Start skit a par 5 golf hole, preferably one with a dogleg so you can't see the green from the tee box where an unsuspecting 4-some comes up to tee off. Right in the middle of one of their swings, a hearse cruises by them on the cart path and goes down the fairway. The players will obviously be take aback and wonder what the hell i...
Warnings go to the streets and hand out trophies to people for whatever reasons and make the trophies out of very strong magnets
One of the many reasons Circuit City should go out of business is their sale of ridiculously expensive cables, wire and cords. The secret to the industry of Monster Cables is that it is unnecessary and ineffective. Gold-plated or otherwise, Monster's $100 cables are not intrinsically better than the cheaper versions they're stocked next to. Don't believe us?
Usain Bolt of Jamaica broke his own world record, running 100m in 9.69 seconds to win the Olympic gold medal. All the while his left shoe lace was untied.
Most bamboo in the United States is running bamboo, because nearly all cold hardy bamboo is the running or invasive type. The tropical bamboos are mostly "clumpers" and stay in a nice, tight clump. Running bamboos spread far and wide and can be very invasive. I grow many kinds of running bamboos and over the past 20 years I've had to learn how to control it's spread.

Working in cahoots with the producers of E! channel's 'Chelsea Lately'; the entire Jackass gang & myself secretly come to a taping of Chelsea Handler's show. Whiles she is doing the show with her round table guests, the producers kick in the 'Party Boy' song over the sound system & we all suddenly run onstage live NUDE and we surround her and start doing a Rockette-style line dance or whatever musical moves we choose. Mayhem ensues. After several moments of shear debauchery, at the conclusion...

VNC is a great protocol that you can use on Windows and Linux machines to remotely control computers. This is useful if you need to control your computer when away from home, help your grandma check her email, or help a client with a disk cleanup. VNC is secure in the sense that it requires authentication in order to make the connection, but after that, the data is sent over the internet unencrypted. This means that an attacker could sniff your traffic and snoop everything that's going on. Th...
If you've ever wondered how software pirates can take software and crack it time and time again, even with security in place, this small series is for you. Even with today's most advanced methods of defeating piracy in place, it is still relatively easy to crack almost any program in the world. This is mainly due to computer processes' ability to be completely manipulated by an assembly debugger. Using this, you can completely bypass the registration process by making it skip the application'...
This one goes perfectly with the 'Mosh Pit' achievement I posted about earlier today. To get the 'Monster Dance' achievement in Assassin's Creed: Revelations, you have to get a guard to incapacitate three civilians.

Minecraft mods (modifications) are additions to the game that change the way you play. They include texture packs, shaders, changes in gameplay, additions and subtractions and everything in between. Some of this information is very basic, other bits might help you along if you've been stuck. We'll start with the simple stuff.

To go Open Source or go proprietary? There is a common conception that open-source is unsafe and insecure and therefore companies should rather go for proprietary solutions. They think that because software is termed "open-source", that the world can see the vulnerabilities of the software and might exploit it, and less informed people tend to think that open-source software can be modified while it is running.
Apparently Lady Gaga is going to release songs from her album on FarmVille first in a specially-created section called GagaVille that will run until May 26. Will you be buying in?
Running late for The National Parks Project meant that Rajo took in a little election doc called GNARR... fitting viewing on the eve of one of the nail-bitingest Canadian Federal elections in recent memory.

Lately I've really been enjoying Trailers from Hell, and while a lot of the movies they do are from before my childhood, it's run by Joe Dante and he was, like, a staple of it. So that counts, right?
This is a video I made while building zip lines in Massachusetts. It gives you an idea of what goes into making these things. All the lines were still in the building phase so they run a little slow.
