Is Your Username Taken? Usernamecheck Will Tell You.

admin — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 19:20:03 +0000

Most people tend to register the same username when signing up for services, for obvious reasons. Your username is your personal identity and most people don’t need more than one. It’s also easier to remember. But one thing that is becoming increasingly difficult to remember, with so many new Web services sprouting up ever day, is which services you have signed up for exactly. A recently launched application called Usernamecheck gives you a great overview at which Web 2.0 services your ‘default’ username has already been registered. In just a couple of minutes, you’ll know just how hung up you have been on trying out every new service on the block, and which one you’ve once signed up for but have long forgotten about. Or, alternately, where your username has already been taken by somebody else

CrunchGear Review: T-Mobile G1

I will keep this review short and straight to the point, folks. You know how Google likes to keep things in Beta for years and years? Well, Android is no different. Like many of you I was excited at the prospect of a new OS to muscle it’s way in and take down the iPhone, but I’m afraid Android is not it – at least not yet. The OS actually isn’t that bad, but it does have its issues and those cannot be overlooked. Unfortunately it’s the hardware that will be Android’s folly this go around until the other manufacturers can churn out some better goods.

Microsoft’s Next OS To Be Called “Windows 7″. Seriously.

admin — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

Microsoft has announced that the latest version of Windows, due in the next couple of years, will be called – drumroll please – Windows 7 . It’s about time Microsoft adopted a naming system that might actually make some sense to users, but I can’t wait for hordes of customers to start asking if they somehow missed Windows 1 through 6. Windows has had one of the most ridiculous naming schemes in the history of software. First there were logical (but ugly) version numbers, like the once commonplace “Windows 3.1″. Then with the release of the overhauled Windows 95 the company adopted a naming system based on the year of release, which it continued until Windows 98. Windows Me (perhaps the worst operating system I’ve ever used), sacrificed the scheme for a chance to be clever (it stood for “me” and the millennium at the same time!) Next up we hit Windows XP, which has served most of us reasonably well since 2001.

What kind of thoughts go into Unhandled Perception? This guy reads entirely to much, but well worth looking at for the content he writes about!!!

I guess when you start blogging, you have to start somewhere!
