The day birthdays changed for me

Last year I was trying to figure out what to buy my father for his birthday.

What if Apple had a contract with Verizon, Sprint, T-mobile and other providers? There would be such an increase in profit it would be ridiculous. Especially when consumers are still not satisfied with the service at At&t. At&t...

Understanding what is 32 bit and 64-bit?

One thing that has been really bothering me lately is the slow development of software adaptation to hardware.

W3C standards? Yahoo, Google, Facebook and Youtube don’t even follow them.

Yesterday, I was trying so hard to make sure my website was meeting w3c standards, but one thing stood in my obstacle, a embedded youtube video. This is why I was trying to pass w3c standards: 1. Helps ensure accessibility for the disabled. 2. Makes your web site accessible from a number of devices, from different browsers to the growing number of surfers using mobile devices. 3.
