Tweakers

by Doc Coleman - Nifty Tech Editor May 9, 2011 Hardware

These days we have so many digital devices that play audio it isn’t funny. Smartphones, computers, MP3 players, even handheld games. Some of these devices have built in speakers to let you play audio, but most of them just come with earbuds, if they have anything at all. For the most part, those speakers are […]

#FollowFriday – @JRMurdock: Reader, YA writer, computer programmer.

by Scott Roche May 6, 2011 Follow Friday

Being a writer, I follow a lot of writers on Twitter. But, since Twitter is kind of a geeky thing, most of the writers I follow are also tech savvy geeks. J.R. is no exception. I first ran into him online when I started listening to V & A Shipping, a delicious mashup of Star […]

SpamCop.net

by Doc Coleman - Nifty Tech Editor April 11, 2011 Service

Everyone hates spam. I’m not talking about the canned luncheon meat that has many fans and detractors, I’m talking about the untold volumes of unwanted e-mail that fills your mailbox, offering you “opportunities” to have larger breasts, lose weight quickly, to make millions with no effort using Multi-Level-Marketing, or to gain ill-gotten millions by helping […]

He’s into technology for his day job and while he’s an outspoken Christian, even if you’re […]

Plain Text

by Scott Roche March 28, 2011 iOS

I’m a big fan of programs that do precisely what I need them to do – no more, no less. It seems that the folks at Hog Bay Software are of the same mind, because their free app Plain Text is a great example of just that. I’ve been enjoying my iPhone immensely and one […]
