I just learned about this crazy nonsense you can do in Portal 2… it’s a glitch that literally allows you to fly through the map without using any HAXX0R1NG or other cheat codes. I put, what I saw in other vids, to a test… I think a fitting name is the “I Believe I Can …

Hi, I’m a Mac! But I’m a PC!
A while ago, I posted instructions that enables a broad range of normal Intel-based computers to run Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The installation method I used is the one from TonyMac.

How to get full iOS 4 features on iPhone 3G
While I was fairly impressed at the features of the new iOS 4 for iPhone and iTouch, I was equally as PISSED that people who have older models could not avail of THE most attractive features in the new software for Apple’s mobile devices (apparently you require out-of-this-world CPU to render a wallpaper and some …

Like Google Maps, only for EVE
So after I got a dynamic database running that allows you to browse through all available items in EVE, I sat down for another project. This time I wanted it to be something more epic and something that has not been done before, at least not that I know of. Pretty recently I learned about …
