OK, so I understand that this maybe isn’t a practical use for a computer, but why the f**k can’t they do this? Granted, this video is in French, so I don’t actually have any clue what the hell is going on here – but so what? Whatever it is, it’s f**king awesome.

These days everyone’s trying to get the biggest bang for their buck, especially when it comes to buying pricey new electronics. Which is why the Touch Book laptop from Always Innovating should be your next purchase. Weighing in at a mere two-pounds, the Touch Book sports a 9-inch, crystal-clear 1024×600 screen, internal USB ports (unlike many netbooks, which have awkward dongles), built-in WiFi and Bluetooth and an easily upgradeable 8GB micro SD card for storage.

Here’s the deal: It’s high time for all of us to do everything we can to ensure that Earth stays clean and habitable. And switching to renewable sources of energy is a must. But as is, it’s pretty hard to “go green” without looking totally lame. So until these green industries start to hire better designers that don’t make everything look like it came from a gay alien’s fantasy, here are a few small things you can do to reduce your “carbon footprint” while not looking like assclown.

Getting ready to throw yourself back into that world of dorming? And do you care about the environment? Well, good luck. Being green, in some dorms, is pretty freakin’ hard. Recycling bins are nowhere to be found, resources are being wasted left and right and most of the kids around you don’t care.

That doesn’t mean you have to throw in the non-recyclable towel. There are so many things you can do to reduce your carbon footprint and give back to Mother Earth. Here are some tips to help the planet and inspire your peers to do the same:

1. Skip the single serving snack-packs. Get a big bag and make your own single-serving portion in a small plastic bag when you’re on the go. Wash the bag out when you’re done and do it again the next time. It’s that easy.

2. Chill out with the AC. Tons of college students keep their AC’s running just because they can. That’s not cool! (Note: yes, the pun was intended.) Don’t act like a monkey when it comes to the environment. Leaving your AC running while you’re out hurts the planet regardless of whether or not you’re paying the bill. (more…)

I have seen the dark side of laptops with built-in webcams and microphones. It’s not leaked videos of you doing a naughty dance for your significant other, or some bizarre government conspiracy to spy on everyone in the country. It’s much simpler than that. It’s a little thing I like to call, video chat PDA, and it could very well be the next cutsie pandemic.

My roommate’s girlfriend recently moved to Baltimore to start her teaching career, and since my roommate still has a semester of school left before he graduates they are trying out the whole long distance relationship thing.

I’m sure it’s been hard to transition from seeing each other every day to living 600 miles apart, but it’s only for six or seven months, it shouldn’t be that difficult, right? They started things off by calling each other multiple times a day, chatting online at every possible moment and e-mailing little messages whenever the other wasn’t logged in to one of many instant messaging programs. But they completely changed the game last week when I walked in on a video chat between the two. (more…)
