The Last Question: How a computer became God

I read this short story by the legendary Isaac Asimov before going to sleep, expecting a classic science fiction plot that would help me sink into dreams of distant worlds. Big mistake. The..."

Civilization. If I had a quarter for every time I clicked “next turn” in this game, I’d be a millionaire. Well, maybe not quite, but it wouldn’t hurt my..."

Chrome’s Market Share Still Growing

I was a fan of Firefox some time ago. I really loved it; Firefox was all you could want in a browser. It was cross platform, meaning I could use it on my Ubuntu laptop, my parent’s Windows-based desktop and my grand-parent’s Mac OS-based PCs. Firefox was more expandable than a rubber band-and is becoming exponentially more so-but was easier to use than a broom...

Top 5 TV shows for tech lovers

TV is slowly getting replaced with the internet, and that’s probably for the best. But even if TV has been plagued by decades of mediocre shows, it doesn’t mean we can’t find a few rough diamonds on the waves and indulge ourselves with a few hours of guilty pleasure from time to time. If you stumbled upon TechHaze because you typed an geeky keyword into...

iPhone App: F-Sim Shuttle

A flight simulator on a phone. No wait. A Space Shuttle flight simulator on a phone. Just think about it for a minute. Think about the progress since the Wright Brothers made their first flight at Kitty Hawk in 1903. We now have a space station on orbit that’s permanently occupied by humans. Think about the first cell-phones. We are now able to take videos with average hand...

iPhone App: Sleep Cycle

Sleep, for some people, is luxury. When you’re a student, a blog writer, a guitar player in a band and a web designer (yes, me), every minute your eyes are closed is precious. The student part is especially sleep-depriving: not only do you spend nights learning for tests or writing papers (well, when you’re not on Facebook), but you have to get up the next morning to...

Google and Social Networking: Beyond the Buzz

We’re living within a constant stream of information. The Internet is invading our lives. Twitter and Facebook made it worst as ‘The stream of messages has become a torrent,” according to B. Horowitz, a vice president of product development at Google. “There is no way to parse that amount of information that ranges from the ridiculous to the sublime. We...

Microsoft’s creative destruction

An Op-Ed by Dick Brass–a vice president at Microsoft from 1997 to 2004–was published in the New York Times four days ago. In the article entitled “Microsoft’s Creative Destruction,” Mr. Brass gives his opinion on Microsoft’s future. You’ve guessed it: it’s not bright. He also explains why Microsoft seems to consistantly fail to...

Linux App: KJots

It’s always a pleasure to use a simple app. I love Applications that give you the power to make things, that give you total control over what is happenning but sometimes, even I want to concentrate on my task without thousands of controls in the way. When i asked about a good note-taking application for Linux, most people told me about Tomboy Notes. Now, Tomboy is a great...
