Building an Intel Core i7 based computer - Storage

Disks fail more often than one can imagine. Because my data is the most important part of my computer my main objective is data safety so I’ll go for RAID 1 – disk mirroring that guarantees data integrity even if one of the two disks fails. Heck, I wouldn’t

Building an Intel Core i7 based computer – Power Supply Unit

If you think that power supply unit (PSU) seems like a non-important piece of the computer think again. It is the heart of the computer as it delivers the blood to the brains and other parts. The blood in this context is the electricity of course. The

A developer diving into microcontroller world part 1

I always wanted to do play with microcontrollers but I lacked hardware knowledge. Actually the last time I wanted to play with them was at the very early stages of the internet (during my university time that is). So I let it go for the time being because

Two computers, one scanner

When demand surpasses supply

While I was browsing for OpenMoko (interesting concept btw) products I've came across this interesting e-shop page. Pay attention to the quantities. The Neo FreeRunner is quite an interesting gadget, specially for custom development I guess. I wish I

HTC is giving a finger to its customers
