Star Wars Weekends have been a huge hit at the Disney theme parks, and to celebrate the desecration of my childhood comes a limited edition of ridiculous looking Disney characters dressed as Star Wars ones. There's Don Solo in carbonite, a lanky Goofbacca, Mick Skywalker, and highly inappropriate Sl...

The chronological Fallacy writes "In the aftermath of disclosures that Belkin employees paid users for good reviews on Amazon, David Pogue reports in the NYTimes that Carbonite has gone one better with 5-star reviews of its online backup welfare work written by its own employees. Pogue recounts how ...

Have you ever worried about your precious web site data, images, and database files not surviving a hacker attack, a power failure, a computer virus, or even a hardware failure? I certainly have been there. I recently lost some important files and digital images when a power outage occurred, and bas...

This is the plot of the original Star Wars trilogy as told by some chick who has never seen them all the way through and has no idea what the fuck is going on. I highly recommend watching it.

Those are great ideas, but I prefer to look at business ideas which are a little closer to home. Ideas that anyone with some hard work could get of...

Say you have some 5 GB of critical data (photos, documents, program installers, etc) on an hard drive that you want to save to an offsite location. You can either copy these files to an external hard drive and put it safely in a bank locker or better still, subscribe to any of the web based data bac...

Never before has my desk at work looked like such a piece of crap. Oh em gee do I need this Han Solo Frozen in Carbonite desk in a bad, bad way. It was made by Tom Spina Designs for somebody who is much wealthier and cooler than I am. They'll make you one too if you're rich. I'm starting to save tod...
