    I have been an Evernote user for quite some time now, mostly for its ability to turn white board drawings into real search-able documentation. Even if they’ve had a Linux version available for some time as a plus to the Windows, Mac OS X and the Cloud edition, they had never bothered to be as…

    A friend dropped of his Windows XP laptop with a virus on it. Been trying to get him back up an running all week. Looks like a clean re-install is the only solution. Somedays, I feel like such a plumber! Funny that I don’t get paid half as well as one though. (Thanks to Stuart001UK…

    We do a lot of Windows bashing here at 2FatDads.com and in all fairness we usually have been given many good reasons to be so negative about the aging and flailing Microsoft OS.  We’ll been using it since the Windows 3 days and most of us are very knowledge at making it do our will.…

    Since the release announcement in August I’ve been itching to get my hands on the new 64-bit version of my favourite operating system. Until now I’ve running a clunking old 32-bit OS that was getting kind of tired; the allure of 64-bit was really quite tempting.

      Before I even get started with this, let me just that this hands on review will not rival John Siracusa’s in depth analysis of the latest flavour of Mac OS X. If you need that much detail, please go ahead and read his article here. It’s no secret that most of the Fat Dads…

    I cleared my inbox and tasks this morning to download the much touted 4.7.0.148 update for the BlackBerry Storm and try to rekindle my love affair with the BlackBerry again. Lately, I’ve been getting that 7 year itch feeling whenever I use the Storm. The younger smartphones like the iPhone are suddenly looking really sexy…

    The honest truth is not and will probably never be that Windows is better than any Mac, its just not so. Microsoft in its infinite wisdom choose to buy technology from other companies, tried to make it look uniform and told the hardware vendors out there that as long as you were close enough to…

    Unlike all the other posts/rants on the topic of Linux vs. Windows vs. FreeBSD this one will explore my take on the issue from my point of view.

    The proof is in the pudding… The middle image was rendered by Firefox 3 on Windows XP and it looks all washed out. To the left is the original RAW processed to JPG in CS3 Bridge and the right most picture is in Safari for Windows. Which actually looks the most like the original… The…
