    Arghhh. WTF. Bloat-ware. Why!!!

    Agreed, I put CyanogenMod on my HTC the other day and it is like having a whole new phone. I love it and the best part is no more annoying HTC bloatware. The process was simple: 1 - Go to the CyanogenMod website and download the installer package that you install onto your pc. 2 - Run the...

    Finally we have an HTC One in the house!

    Hi Anyone know if the HTC One is available from Cell C or MTN? I have tried emailing them but no answer. I want this phone however Vodacom seems to be very expensive in comparison to the other 2 when you compare similar phones on similar contracts.

    I am having a similar problem with a huawei e1752 dongle and a trendnet router. It worked fine for months and about a month ago I started having the same issue you have described. It is driving me crazy.

    XBMC 12.0 Beta

    Can one run both on the same PC and just select which one to open. If so I would definitely like to try it but not if I am going to loose my Eden installation.

    How did it take for your raspberry pi's to be delivered? I got a mail on the 4th of October saying mine was being dispatched but still haven't received anything. I am getting impatient.

    How do I responsibly dispose of a broken CRT TV

    I have a broken CRT TV that I want to get rid of but have heard that one shouldnt just dump these thing as the tube as well as some of the electronic components contain chemicals that are very bad for the environment. What am I supposed to do with it? Are there any places where one can drop it...

    HTPC software- Media portal setups, guides, tweaks

    Also switched from media browser to XBMC a short while ago. On the whole I much prefer it. It feels more "purpose built" where media browser always felt like a "band aid" for media center. I quite like the standard skin but have downloaded Transparency and intend using it. How did you get...

    A piece of gear that cost next to nothing but floored you with its ability?

    Out of curiosity I bought a cheap "One For All" universal remote from Makro a while ago. Cost about R340. I cant beleive it, this thing is amazing. It controls my TV, AVR, DVD Player, CD Player and Windows HTPC. I havent used on of my original remotes in months. It can still control another...

    Help - HDD Crash !

    I had a drive die on me a few years back (also making a clicking sound) and someone suggested I try this. I laughed at the idea but had nothing to loose so I tried it. Put the drive in a ziplock bag, left it in the freezer for a few hours and plugged it in. I couldn't believe it when the drive...

    Oh for a decent coffee...

    Generally I buy my coffee from the local Roastmaster or if I feel like spoiling myself I will buy Illy. I recently bought this coffee machine that I found while on a business trip in Germany. It's like those pewter aluminum espresso pots that you put on the stove but it is stainless, has its...

    DIY motorised screen in cabinet build log

    Hey man Glad to see you are making some progress. Unfortunately I cant help much with the electronics side. Not sure how many watts the normal multi-voltage transformers can give out. Have you tried one of these? According to the equation P=VI you only need 120w so a PC power supply should be...

    DIY motorised PC Monitor

    Just had a thought. Why does it need to slide up vertically? Why cant it pivot up like a laptop screen? You could mount it on a "L" shaped fabrication that pivots on the corner of the "L" so that you don't have a gaping hole when the screen is pivoted up. This has its own set of problems...

    Speaker vs Amp upgrade

    Huh. I seem to remember it being the otherway around. I said upgrade speakers first, then the Sony receiver. I even gave the example that when I bought my system I couldn't hear the difference between the Sony and Yamaha receiver (I just went for the more expensive Yammie due to its "better"...
