The Tech-Support Generation

MSNBC - The Tech Support Generation : "Millions of young Americans will head home next week to give thanks, eat turkey … and fix their parents’ computers" ... UMMM Do you feel this way because I do. This is the new generation where the kids bring their playstaions and the elderly talk about their new disease or aching pain, our generation is mentally prepared and armed with a USB drive filled with all the tools they'll need to fix the uncle's computer or grandpa's old PENTIUM III box. Yes if you are laughing or saying that is "so" me, then let me welcome you to the club. We don't mind actualizing your antivirus or even getting rid of spyware, we came prepare to eat turkey and spend 3 hours on the computer. Call us whatever you want nerds, freaks, four-eyes but remember "who's gonna fix your computer on X-Mas". I know some of us would love to see our family using Lnx (heck that be great, granma-mandrake (she just loves recompiling the kernel), uncle-slackware, aunt-debian and cousin-freBSD, would that be a happy family?) but face it we have to become Bill Gates heroes just for the holidays. Here a Link to Slashdot's user comments . Just remember not to eat the whole turkey while we install Firefox and leave some pie while we run Spybot, but most important "Thanks" would be nice.

Are You A Comfort Addict?

Are You A Comfort Addict? : Is everything okay... but nothing great? This is the story of many, the pain of some and the only hope and strenght for other. This article makes us go deep into ourselves, are we living the capitalistic dream, are we numbing our minds with cars, plasma tv's and delicate quiches? Truly ask yourself are you living your dreamed life or are you "Martha Stewart Living" life?

NASA - Hypersonic X-43A Takes Flight at MACH 10

NASA - Hypersonic X-43A Flight: "NASA's X-43A Scramjet Breaks Speed Record". This Nov 16 on the Pacific Ocean the X-43A Scramjet flew at MACH 10 that is at ten times the speed of sound (760 m/h). The most interesting part is that this rocket, instead of carrying liquid oxygen (as its oxidixer), takes the oxygen directly from the atmosphere. Finally some new stuff, I was getting bored by the same huge rockets attached to the "Space Shuttle". For Video.

This is the wife of Firefox

Did you knew that Thunderbird is superior that Outlook. Also its RSS feeds Reader (it also supports XML and Blogs) is turning heads over to Mozilla.org rather than looking for an Atom reader. If you have a Gmail account you can access your mail with it (if Gmail has given you POP access). All in all its a 11 in a scale from 1 to 10, as always supporting OpenSource.
