  • An Essential Part of Sustainable Computing has to be Freecycle.org
    Imagine if all the items on eBay were being given away completely free. Sounds too good to be true? Well you can stop dreaming because this is actually a reality. The only catch is that you normally have to go and collect the item, but apart from that it is a fantastic way of getting your hands on second hand bits and bobs.
  • Two Computers are Better than One - Diagnosing PC Problems
    If something went wrong with your computer what would you do? Look up the manufacturer’s website, ask a question on a forum, or perhaps download a user guide? All these things involve using the internet, so if you can’t get online it could leave you a bit stuck. In this situation, having a second computer can save you so much hassle.
  • PC Repair and Proverbs
    “A stitch in time saves nine”. This is a common quote that says that if you take a precautionary measure today you will reap the rewards from it in the future. Although this phrase was coined many years ago (probably hundreds of years but I’m not sure), it can be applied to the latest computer technology. This is the measure of a good proverb, and something that applies to all types of industry and can stand the test of time.
  • Are Humans the Biggest Bottleneck of Computer Systems?
    Often people optimize their PCs to make starting Windows a few seconds quicker, but they don’t consider the inefficiencies of typing. If you are not an amazingly quick typist, the QWERTY layout probably is not slowing you down. But then you could say that if you were to invest in some typing lessons, this would be a much wiser upgrade than buying the latest hardware.
  • Why PCs of the Future Could be Even Faster Than Anyone Ever Imagined
    As up and coming generations reach adult hood, operating systems will have to start catering for their needs. Tweaking the operating system to optimally suit the individual user may just be a feature that the adults of tomorrow would be looking for as a priority.
  • What will PCs be like in 20 Years Time?
    As far as I’m concerned, today’s PC user falls into two camps; the savvy user and the non-savvy user. Whereas the savvy user might browse the internet with the Firefox browser and search using Google, the non-savvy would consider Internet Explorer was the internet and search using the default 'Live Search'.
  • If Think You Think Computers are Complicated Now… Just Wait
    Despite its massively successful integration into the average home, a huge number of adults are still baffled by the home computer. Looking into the future, the problem doesn’t seem like it’s going to have a solution on the horizon anytime soon.
  • Everyday Life with PCs and Macs
    In my flat there are both Macs and PCs. I use the PCs and my flatmate uses his Mac. Over the last three years I have been noticing the problems that each system encounters on a daily basis. Neither platform is perfect but each has its own personality which he should think about if you are buying a new computer.
  • “Warming Up” your PC
    We take it for granted nowadays that TV sets are ready to go at the touch of a button and with a mere second or two we have a picture with sound.

    This improvement has been made possible due to the fundamental changes in the way that your TV works. Sets used to have so called “valves” that needed to be warmed up in order to work properly. The modern boxes use different technologies that don’t need to warm up.
  • How to Stop Your Computer Wasting Electricity
    I regularly use Skype to keep in touch with my friends and family. Recently I noticed that almost all of my contacts never pickup Skype calls, but then if I ring their phone they answer. This means that their computers are being left on, even though they are not using them. When you consider that most computers use typically 70-200 Watts of power across the nation the accumulative waste of electricity must be monumental.
